nice Moe! we just bought our plane tickets for a last minute trip out to Whistler next week. I'm pretty stoked to get out on the snow a few more times this year.

 

Good move. I was resigning myself to calling it quits but late April dumpage beckons!

I'm back and burned out. Got to Jay around 9PM Wed and met up with Arewolf from TGR. Had dinner and beers/shots at the Tower Bar in the new Tramhaus Lodge (pretty sweet setup) and ended up doing about 8 shots and had about 5 beers. I shoulda known better, it was a full moon out. Met a few folks at the bar and had a safety meeting in their room in the Lodge. Room was nice, comes with a kitchenette. Long story short, the head started spinning and I exited for the car. Spent the next hour blowing chow outside my car, I was seriously in pain. Not sure what time it was when I finally crawled into my bag and passed out. Woke up with a spinning head and half in the bag, but made it for coffee and a few granola bars and into the lift line. Met a few other guys and made my first run down UN. Weather was primo, right around freezing, snow was deep and soft. Arewolf and Crank gunned down ahead of me while I was still getting my head on straight at the top. Took it easy for the first hour or 2, alternating between groomed and ungroomed until I got my ski legs on. Trees were amazingly good, did Timbuk once and almost kissed a tree on the way down, so I stuck to Kitt's and Kitzbuhl which I was more familiar with. Free lunch with a lift ticket was a bonus. Feeling pretty beat, I stuck to Haines and Kitt's for the rest of the day. Called it a day around 3:30 and went to the car for a nap. Woke up and had a flat bread pizza at the Tower bar and passed out by 8PM. No booze, no nothing. Up bright and early to another sweet morning of skiing. UN, Haines, and some of the other ungroomed areas were getting scraped off so I played on the Jet (groomed) and Haines which was bumped up. Called it a day by 12, had my free lunch and made the 9 hour ride home.
