So this is how two of my best days of shredding up to this point went down!

I got up on February, 7 ’08 at 4:00 in the morning, early but it was worth it, I loaded my things, then me and my sista --> Steph went down the crappy winter roads to our meeting spot. We unloaded then reloaded, and all 13 of us hoped into a suburban and two pickup's. And our four hour drive down the dark snowy roads started. At first it was pretty lame...just Nicole n' pat chatting about what ever. After a few hours or so we hit our first stop gas and washroom were we all met up aging and the cold air woke us up a little. Before we knew it we piled back in and got going. After a bit me and steph got a high (probably from lack of shut eye). We laugh out heads off and got wired looks but we didn't care it was a good time and before we knew it we rolled into B.C. And the sun finally got up. We did a few more stops on the way. The drive from chetwynd to PK was the longest.  Our energy was down and I was feeling sick. When we finally hit PK around 10 something it was windy, snowy and cold (-28 or so) but it didn't matter we were finally about to go shredding in some real pow for once! We all met up, grabbed our gear and headed for the snow covered chalet, it was the most snow id eva seen and I was loving it. The snow was up past the windows and the snow covered trees were really pretty. We got in the little chalet, suited up and got our lift. Then some of the locals from our hill back home (Dale, Remi n’ Lance) were just coming in to warm up so we all said hi and headed out.  Some of the group was already gone when me and steph got out. We headed out to the chair, and got on. Once on were started wondering were the rest of em’ were but we figured they had already made there way back down. It wasn’t long before we found out the they hadn’t made it back down when we spotted them all stuck in powder up to there waist and higher. While laughing at them and being amazed by how much snow there really was on the slopes, we got off the chair, strapped in and started on our way down but it wasn't long before we were stuck too. Looking around we seemed like the only new comers. People were laughing at us on there way up the chair but it was cool we were having a good time falling, flipping and whiping out like crazy! Then we heard some freaks laughing at us way louder than any one else wondering who was making fun of us so much we looked up and saw Dale, Remi and Lance being ever so kind, but it was funny lol. After about an hour plus and many shouts of “Are we there yet” we hit the bottom still laughing at our selves and each other. We didn’t care if people thought we sucked it was a good time. Back inside we were soaked and cold. After warming up a little and a bite to eat we ready to try again. By the end of the day we got the hang of it sure we were still falling but at least we could make it down in less than an hour lol. We packed our gear back into the trucks and headed to Mackenzie. Once in Mackenzie we checked into our hotel and went out for supper. Thinking the restaurant wasn't far we walked (half of us not wearing coats) but it was a little farther and colder then we all thought but we made it alive lol. Once back at the hotel Shantel invited the Dale, Remi and Lance over for a drink. Me, Steph, Pat, Eric, Amber, Traline, and Shantel hung out in one of the rooms. Some of us were bored so were started playing spoons until we got a noise complaint It wasn't even past 9:00! Then the guys showed and had some drinks, Lance did a card trick that confused everyone. Then Dale and Lance played tug war with a pillow which broke out into a pillow fight. Being a little too noisy we decided to move the party to the guys hotel were no one was staying. We all started heading out but we got told that we should stay at our hotel since it was almost midnight. But Steph and I weren’t ready to call it a night so we waited for the doors to be shut and headed out with the guys.  Once at there room we started playing guitar hero, (which I suck at lol) after a bit Remi decided to throw chocolates at everyone, so we all started chucked em’ at everyone while Dale and Steph were trying to play guitar hero, and Lance got some candy and tried to get them into everyone mouths failing of coarse lol. After that the best pillow fight ever broke out lasting probably over an hour and totally messing up the room. The sheets were off the mattresses in a big pile with the blankets, the mattresses were half off and the picture frames weren’t straight anymore and candy and chocolates spread all over the floor. Poor maid. Id love to see her reaction when she walked in tho like OMG WTF lol! Once we were all dead Dale drove me and Steph back. Now we were ready to doze. The next morning, the last shred day of the trip. The alarm went off at 6:00. Not feeling all that tired I got up and got my things together Steph got up little later and then we went down for breakfast. Once we finally got out of the dumb hotel it was getting late. We got at the hill about an hour after opening but it was cool tho because they were having problems with the lift earlier so we really weren’t that late. Once we got up the chair we went down and the snow was awesome! It was a little colder then the previous day, but the snow was great. After one run the gang was cold so they went in, but me and Steph kept going. After another run we went in were we met up with Dale, Lance and Remi and boarded with them the rest of the day (not doing to bad at keeping up for our second day in pow). We did some runs then lance spotted some nice pow between some trees and told dale that they should go through the trees and cut back across onto the trail. Dale went first, after we couldn't see him anymore we waited a bit, but he didn’t come back out so lance bailed and we went down a little and waited. After Lance yelled out his name, we hear Dale yelling who knows what. Then we finally saw him walking out from between the trees in pow up to his chest. Laughing our facess off, we waited for him to get to us moving about an inch per step. Once Dale took a little rest we headed back down. Going up the chair again Steph and I heard some retards singing behind us. We didn’t even need to look back we knew it was the guys, still laughing at them we got off the chair, then we went to the t-bar. Once at the top dale told us about were he wanted to go hiking, then we shredded back to the t-bar and repeated that a few more times. Before I knew it my time at PK was sadly already over and I had to head back home for work at our hill the next day. So we all said bye to PK and the guys who were staying till Sunday (lucky!!! lol)! On the way back we stopped at BP and had some ok food and a pretty good time. From BP to home Amber and I were either way over tired or there was something in our food lol cause we could not stop laughing and we were not making cense. We tried thinking of a genius idea on how we could move PK so it would be our local hill but sadly we got nowhere with that so we tried to think of excuses to go back to Powder King!

Miss Yah Powder King!
