Super Sunday

Last night we toasted the Griz with every raised glass. So much infact that we made him throw up 55cm in the space of about 12hrs. Unfortunately, we broke Ruben and he missed out on a great day on the hill. The hangovers were put on hold and after a quick visit to The Loaf we headed up on the 10am bus. The eager boys had already headed up and ripped up the fresh snow in Timber bowl and Cedar ridge, which were the only bits of the mountain open, so we had to get creative. There were still plenty of fresh lines for the people who knew where to look. Me and Matt headed up the old side and found some untracked lines under the Elk chair, before lapping Cedar ridge and improvising a few lines at the bottom, straight lining into the powder field beside the T-Bar and plunging into the white room once more. Face shots in resort with people whooping from the lifts is a pretty inspiring thing! 


We picked up Leon and Will at the base and went to new side. By this time Siberia bowl had been opened so we hiked up and skied Morning Glory. We all rallied it down and after Leon had dug himself out of a tree well, we smashed the broken pow on falling star back to the Timber chair. We continued all day as we knew tomorrow would be our last. Leon said it was the best day he's had in resort all season. As a finale me and Will headed for Triple Trees, the location of Dylan Siggers's first video. That boy has got some skills, 100% commitment required in there. Its a place where you know your going to fast but can't do anything about it! Dylan put together an edit from today, so stoked when I remember I was there this time around!

It seems wrong to say that group 2 would already be back in Fernie after the Boulder Hut trip, as we effectively stole half of one of their days, but we had agreed to meet up tonight for a social dinner at the Brickhouse and catch up. All except Gav that was, who had retried the bagel challenge. Unfortunately he couldn't beat his previous time and came away $28 poorer. Although by Leon's logic 'It's just like eating a fine $28 steak, except its a bagel...'


We swapped stories over dinner and toasted the Griz for our last day of skiing to be a good one. It was certainly shaping up to be, patrol hadn't opened Curry, Lizard or Cedar bowls this weekend and everybody was concious that there was 50-100cm lying in wait, ready to be smashed...
