daver 0 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've been involved here. Things are shaping up for a hell of a season here in Canada. A hell of a dangerous season as well, given the avi hazard. I'm heading to New Zealand in less than two weeks so my season has pretty much wrapped up, but I have been able to wrangle a few days in the mountains. Here's the proof! My first week was spent hanging out in the Bow Valley with old friends from my skiing bumming days. This is my buddy Dave (TGR mtlion) on "The Shoulder" at Sunshine Village, Dave in Tee Pee Town Chutes at Sunshine, Dave in Burnt Trees at Sunshine, My friend Shaun in Burnt Trees, After a few days in the Bow Valley skiing Sunshine, Lake Louise, and Kicking Horse I hopped on a plane and headed to Whistler. Whistler ROCKS!!! I really can't say it enough. Yeah there are crowds, but the reality is if you can ski the areas that Whistler is renown for than you really don't have anything to worry about. We had two days of sunshine and the first day was the opening of the peak chair after a few days of snow. No pictures of that, sorry it was time to ski, but I did get a few shots of the next day in perfect blue bird conditions. Enjoy! My buddy Justin in Big Bang, Spot the pro. My buddy, and Extremely Canadian staff Steve in Big Bang, Steve with the sponsor shot, Link to post Share on other sites
