IMG_4126_zpsslemr8le.jpg


The ups were enjoyed

IMG_4140_zpsag5r6ct2.jpg


IMG_4171%202_zpsfqkz62xq.jpg


It's funny our cook sunny worked for cmh and a few lodges

And doesn't really ski

So we're explaining in the ski week we're only gonna actually ski a few hours

You gotta learn to enjoy all the rest

The early morning predawn coffee making

The long slog home in the fading light or darkness

The sauna, the communal dinner shadings

The beverages, the stories, the goods, the fails

The damn ifin the ullr didn't bless us overnight with some more fresh

The vis when ya gets it

The old man bearded mossy snow ghosts when ya don't

Ups n downs

The lookin back at what ya skied

IMG_4199_zpsyayw5hkr.jpg


i guess its all pretty mute ifin youre not sharing it

IMG_4330_zps7mttpknl.jpg


I rolled in with some fucked up toes and boot issues I shuda delt with

so tues I took it easy helped the hut chicks with chores set up a beacon drill

and i aint the type of bum that's gonna say no to the "wanna go share the secret stash line with us'' questions

fore headin out with em after a good 20 cm's fell

IMG_4433_zpsrmsv3pxa.jpg


them 2 betties and i shared sums pit work

IMG_4448_zpsueqbt12k.jpg


didn't take much to find sums pwl of early jan and feb buried hoars

thankfully at this point they weren't to reactive

the betties shredded sum secret stash shits up

IMG_4474%202_zpscvswb2ub.jpg


IMG_4569%202_zpsy1wmjctj.jpg


so i didn't ski too goods clipped some woods and shed a stick

turns out ifin ya were to loose your dyna rad 2 brake afd its gonna make it a bitch to git the rear pins to lock

and sound don't travel real well in the dumping land of snow ghosts

so until i got it figured out ya needed to pull up on the brake i was mia until

made contact with the other group pilfering the double secret probation stash

and some radio communications break downs kerfuckles were overcome

made it out n home

IMG_4610_zpspeqeiyrw.jpg


got up on the roof to watch the sfotex and toaster send it home

IMG_4635_zpsizn0kgkh.jpg


IMG_4674%202_zps8l9eujsl.jpg

IMG_4424%202_zpssf9siflu.jpg


hump day s dawn broke clear after a few more cm

IMG_4875_zpsxxu7oebd.jpg


IMG_4891_zpse2osr2wq.jpg


IMG_1769%202_zpsupacinsf.jpg


looked across the valley to the witches fingers and well I bet that'd ski well

IMG_4883_zpsz5alm0vf.jpg


but first there is this old cool lone larch tree that wanted to be on the tgrz

IMG_4941%202_zpsueewluiu.jpg


one of them special cold smoke early light and fresh snow lingering and being blown about things ya hope for but all the pieces don't always fall together things

IMG_4951%202_zpsx5cewebi.jpg

looked up at
IMG_5257%202_zpsc0zfozhn.jpg
the rock garden pillow dream shit and smiled

IMG_1884_zpsqcx1qm9t.jpg


a special bum entitlement wide grinned smirk

IMG_5253_zpshctbuokz.jpg


and that smirk got erased real fast as accessing the witchs fingers turned into skin of futility ridge repeated loss of elevation in steep faceted sugar game

and wants well ya find some time ya gets what ya needs even ifin it consolation turns

IMG_5285%202_zpsnjfhgpt5.jpg


ended up punchin a skinner up a finger till the weather changed and we'd be rollin in late already realization sent us down

IMG_2072%202_zpsobnsz2ti.jpg


mrs bum he and I headed out

the cool thing about being old slow and not in the greatest uphill travel shape is it gives ya plenty of time to enjoy the little things and stopping to attempt to capture em

IMG_6297%202_zps88dfybmi.jpg


and our neighbors of north gots no shortages as that

IMG_6835%202_zpso3uuncl1.jpg


IMG_2069_zpsrziybfsn.jpg


much like a properly performed 2xhaul sending a cone headed gob of thread and feathers and such attached to a hook across the river

the tele turn is a thing of beauty and grace and mr t lay em down never fails to stoke me out

IMG_6324%202_zpstzhtne28.jpg


I scored mrs bum a new set up for the trip so seeing her dig her zeldas was sweet

IMG_6350%202_zpsgt15gmc7.jpg

IMG_6489%202_zpsz0o0sfrc.jpg

IMG_6535_zpsas7ghirm.jpg


till the final up of the day

IMG_6624%202_zpslwc5lsdr.jpg

IMG_6629_zpssswgrak3.jpg


nor does Friday night dance party

I always love seeing your TRs dude. Still not sure if you're illiterate or a poet but it keeps me entertained regardless. Way to do the Koots justice - from a Kootenay kid.
 
love seeing these TR's pop up every few years. Like trying to translate a foreign language half the time
 
Hells to the yes mang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tag=115168]@SFBv420.0[/tag]
 
Did you still try to cross the border with some nug to see how differently they would treat you this time around?

Best trip report ever. Learn something, you cheap bastards at NS who don't pay Dibbs for quality content!!!!
