Ah,

After riding Christmas day and Boxing day in unbelievable powder, today was a real let down. . . Back at work . . Only 1 more day before I have 3 or 4 more days of powder :)

The conditions have been unreal the last week, the best powder I have ever ridden and the first time I have had to be rescued by ski patrol!

I don't think Smurf was too happy when I was telling her all my antics! God help me if mother finds out . . . .

Found this on xkcd, says it all . ..

T-Line was fun on Saturday. The cloud base was really thick and covered the whole lower mountain. Once the magic mile and palmer were open the fun really kicked in. Unfortunately Damien had a stack and hurt his knee. So Meredith and I carried on while Damien took some alcohol on board!

Here are a couple of pics. Of course there is one of the new jacket, you can see how thick the cloud is, it was bretty warm and so it was burning off, but the wind kept blowing more in:



D&M at the end of the day when the clouds cleared and we could see Mt Hood in all its beauty!

This week it was clear that things were not going to go my way. On top of stuff I have told some of you I found my orange jacket has a couple of tears in it. I think this is result of you lot wishing I would stop wearing it . . . Anyhow, I was pretty pissed off and thought I would go look for a cheapo jacket to get me through the season and then I can buy a goretex shell in the spring sales.

The jacket I wanted was sold out :( but then I found this - reduced from $200 to $129 .. .. Not a bad deal. Espcially when yo consider it was in this colour :)



SWEEEEEETTTT!!!

An odd week. My tyre blew out on me, Kate has gone back to the UK, work sucks and a friend committed suicide.

Rob was a pro photographer, I was looking forward to showing this pic to him, but instead I will dedicated it to him.

This one is for you Moose.
