Another snowy day.


overlooking 5 mile

With some injuries to the team, our adventure has been delayed a day. Oscar managed to persuade his thumb to double in size (after an all mighty pow crash yesterday) and Nick somehow managed to throw his back before we set off. The injured took a break and it fell on Watkin and I to take one for the team, blessings that is.

We headed up to Whitewater, grabbed a coffee and 1 ride up the lift. From there we toured out of the resort and into the close range backcountry that had enough freshies and face shots for everyone to share.

Watkin and I did some exploring around the bowl between 5 mile and Acidophilus. The terrain is amazing, extensive and so easy to access, all I can say is sweeet. We got a few laps in and made it down in time for beer.

Like any other day, we headed out with caution, excitement and with dreams of multiple blessings to the face. So did many other snow lovers but unfortunately today some didn't make it back. It is a huge loss to the snow family, my thoughts are with friends and families of Jim Jack, Chris and John.

No one could make you feel as welcome and inspired as Jim Jack, it's not often you meet such a caring person who is willing to put there heart and soul into the things they love. :) Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
