Christmas Weekend 2011

Twas the day after Christmas, when all through the mountain
But a creature was stirring, bigger than a mouse.
The Hellbents were hung by the Gondola with care,
In hopes that St Powder soon would be there.

Great day after Xmas with some new snow and a great crew!

1st Whistler Trip of the 2011/12 Season

The snow was not epic and Whistle/Blackcomb definatly need some more but a great trip with the fam. Got to demo the Salomon Rocker 2 as well and I never thought I would find a ski more fun than the K2 Hellbent.... but I did. Hopefully a pair of the Rocker 2 coming to CGR soon:)

December 3rd 2011 1st Post of 2011/2012 Ski Season

So we did not get a ton of skiing in this last weekend. We did however get moved into the room up at the Alpine Inn, getting ready for a great season and picked up a tree on the way down.

Some Pics from Skiing on Saturday. The coverage is pretty good for early season with most rocks to be found on top of High Cambell.

Courtney really excited for the first day of the season!

Xterra testing out the 4wd and in my case the electronic locking rear diff in 4wd low, not going to admit to getting stuck, but we didn't go any further:)
