Hey there, so my blogs have been a little lacking in the content department over the second half of the summer. So I am forcing myself to sit down and try to write about the past two months or so. But out of curiousity - now that the blogs arn't on the front page, do people even still read...
alright, so port alberni is done. it was a pretty good contract. i don't have much time right now so i might make a new blog over the next few days with more details, but basicly - finished up here in PA, going to be homeless in the comox valley for a few days, then it's off to work again...
so i am writting this from my friend zoes' kitchen (who puts their computer in the kitchen?). i'm in courtenay, went out drinking last night, it was fun. i arrived on the island yesterday via airplane - and the plane ride from vancouver to nanaimo was only 12min. shortest plane ride EVER...
holy shit - i just went through one of the most intense weeks of my life... and somehow lived to tell about it.
alright. so i got back this morning, Wednesday, at 6am from a week on vancouver island and vacinity. the trip started off easy enough. i flew from castlegar into vancouver and...
alright, so I am in rossland right now, chilling out for a week, enjoying the luxury of hard walls and nice couches. A lot has happened on this side of the computer screen the past three months, but I'll try not to bore you with all the boring details and stick to what matters: SEX, DRUGS, AND...
alright, so im at camp right now, we have internet here, but it never works so this is easier then telling people individually. we're pounding here and will be done early. if we finish early enough i'm going to come up to whistler and see you fuckers before you all run off to wherever...
so, i'm planting, i will elaborate when i have more time but all i will say now is karyn and I are no longer togeather. 4 years - good run.
So my ski season is now officially done. aprox. days of skiing this season: 90
Numbers wise April was a pretty sad month for skiing, clocking only 5 days for the whole month. But I got 'er done during those few days. In one run alone (at Lake Louise) I bagged three new tricks: 360...
so i'm kinda lazy right now so i'm going to keep this one short and boring (just the way you like them). the end of the season was fun at red. the season ended with warm sunny days full of rock gaps, taps, and slashes. a few days before the end, rocks started showing through the snow on the...
HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!!
ok, so it was a few days ago, but whatever. it's the second best day of the year (second to halloween of course) and I hope that everyone had a drunken good time filled with skiing and green beer.
I woke up early to get to the hill for registration. There was a...
well, after the weather event that took place here over the past few days I think it's safe to say that the winter season in the west kootenay's is over. This has been the wierdest winter internationally in my memory. The winter started off normally here, with snow every few days...
alright so it's monday night. the past three days it has been snowing here in Rossland and the end result was up to 2ft of fresh under the feet.
there was a slopestyle comp on saturday, but it was called off due to it being a legit powder day after almost two months of dry weather. saturday...
before I get into my week I'm just going to do a little shameless plug for Hillbilly Wax. it's environmentally friendly, check it out. www.hillbillywaxworks.com
So on Tuesday I went catskiing for the first time. A group of 10 of us (me being the token skier) went to Wildhorse Catskiing...
hello again,
well another week is gone, and with that comes another blog entry by this guy.
never ended up making it to big white over the week, the week has been a mess actually. i've been getting to drunk for my own good - it's getting bad.
yesterday there was a rail comp in the park at...
This weekend is the Winter Carnival here in Rossland, and it is unboubtedly (is that a word) the most eventful weekend of the winter. Three days and nights packed full of events ranging from lugeing, mountain biking, bobsleding, and easily the best event of the whole weekend "The Game". A...
After an alright storm cycle we got hit with strong winds followed by a week of an acrtic high bringing in cold blue sky's. The cold snap (and shitty conditions) happened to arrive just in time for the big mountain comp here at Red. shitty skiing combined with being overrun with rippers, we...
I hiked up Roberts today. First time up there for the season. it was blue skies, not too cold, pretty sweet. two peoples boards broke before we even dropped in 'cause of rocks... but i've noticed this year that snowboards kinda break easy from rocks. i've had like 4 or 5 friends'...
WARNING: I AM DRUNK, i may or may not make sense.
ok, before i start off i would like to add a disclaimier. Well, my girlfriend would get mad at me for claiming this shit, but here I am: I am a ski bum. My blog has many different enteries in it about all sorts of subjects (if you do not...
Hello again. I thought I'd give putting pictures on my blog another try. (hopefully it works this time). I'll also tell you about my weekend, because well - I fell like it.
So my weekend started Friday afternoon (at around 3pm) where me and some friends went and started getting our drink on...
so over the weekend I put my boots and skis on for the first time of the season. it was pretty good. friday night we just got drunk and gt'ed around town till enevitably we went and put our equipment on and did garden drops and stuff in peoples yards.
yesterday we went and slid some rails...
