New Xmas gear kept me warm and shone the light on the trail, cold out though! |

| Super early splitboard session at Hyak. Snow was great, got off the board and sank to my waist. 3 laps with the 1st in the dark which given it was super smooth pow made it easy enough, bumpy would have been nasty. |

| |
| Great few runs at Alpy with Bob and a few others. Snow was amazing and some good freshies to be had but seems everyone else thought so too with the crowds at the end. Super bomber 5 man speed run through Falsen stream bed was faster than I normally go! |

Friday Dec 28 |
| Snowboarding 3:15:00 [1] | |
| |
| Ride at Alpy with Jeff and CJ. Some fun runs down Elevator, snow was super deep and great fun. Really steeps lines there. Got stuck a couple of times and had to dig myself out, not ideal to sqimming around with the ski patrol around when we ducked the ropes. I only do it occasionally and usually if they are going to open soon. |

| Hyper extended my left elbow on upper international today. Hurty, hurty right now... |

| Snowboarding 3:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| A few runs at West then over to Alpy. Up top and down bowl to base - super bumpy but soft. Quick lap of Armstrong then 3 laps down International when they opened. Nice snow but vis was awful. Hit a snowbank at 20mph (ish) and just stopped dead. Didn't see it until I was buried.
Started bad ended up pretty fun. Freezing rain up there coating everything in a layer of ice.
The car handled the snow beautifully though! |
Thursday Dec 20 |

| |
| Crystal Mtn with a load of new. Bluebird powder days in the low 20's temp remind me why I love this area. Slashed some amazing powder today with a couple of TAY folk. Never hit powder so fast as I did down high campbell, when there's no tracks in front of you and its a 35-40 deg slope its just not right to make lots of turns. Straight lining with big arcs are the name of the game. Not a 4 star day but it earned a 3 snowflake which is still bloody good for inbounds (4 is reserved for heli or epic skinning with pow rewards) |

| Skinned Hyak with Jeff and Pete. In the dark with the headtorch - way cool at 6:30am. 1st run down was Swhweet goodness with the heattorch still required! Face shots and couldn't really see where I was going but just charged it since it was super smooth pow.
2nd run we hit under the old chair which wasn't as good but stil pow. Lower half of mountain was heavy stuff but still super fun.
Way to start the work day. Back at desk at 9:45! |

| Bowling 1 [0] | |
| |
| Bowling with work, I got so fatigued in the 3rd frame my score dropped right off. Must do more endurance training to survive the bowling. Did manage a 170 with only a 9 in the last frame which is OK since the last time I bowled was exactly this time last year. |

| Ace couple of runs at Hyak. Skinning up was a breeze with the splitter, it fantastic in proper snow. Dumping hard. Lovely runs down for the 1st pow turns of the year. Bottomless but #2 was a bit heavy snow wise. SHould be good tomorrow if we stay safe. |
