ianbc 0 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 thanks....I should add it wasnt all peaches and pow....the thing about currie is theres only one way out and it happens to be down a slide path, sometimes its mellow, sometimes like yesterday it is hell. At one point it bottle necks for about 200 feet at about 10 feet wide. yesterday it was about 10cm on ice, basically you slide on your ass out of control for the entire time over frozen earth and ice and some rocks, grabbing branches to slow you down. It sucked i was so unimpressed by the time I got to the bottom. Then its merges with the main slide path which has 10 foot walls of ice on the side and the gut full of debris, postho;eing nightmare. and a comedy of disasters trying to scale the wall. Then there a 1 km trail thats nearly covered with over grown brush, getting slapped in the face every ten feet was not fun for over 30 minutes with no goggles because it was dark at this point. it took a couple beers to remember the fun i had before the exit.
