what an awesome surprise powder day. the mountain only reported 1cm but there was a good 10+ in the alpine along with wind loaded and flattened areas. the sun came out and made for great laps on peak with zero crowds. whistler bowl was about as good as it ever gets.

Hey Mark,

You been up to the mountain lately? How are things shaping up for the Telus festival this weekend?

sorry for the lack of posts. i haven't been up in a long time - i've been too busy trying to finish building a house by the end of this month. the only riding i've been doing lately is on a bike.
looks like there's still enough snow for the big air competition in the valley.
