After raging super hard on thursday night, I was about to call of my plans for riding this weekend... But when I woke up at 420 and lite up and was sitting up at home by myself... I started thinking about all the fresh powder that would be up there this weekend... And after many debates I just couldn´t NOT go. So I was out half blunt hanging out my mouth on Friday night. Took a bus to San Sebastian and meet up with my crew. Got on another bus and 4 hours later and 2 movies we arrive in Viehla. it was dumping giant flakes. At first they tried to randomly put me in a room with my 3 other friends but there was only 3 beds. So I went back down and got my own room and crashed. I was the first one at breakfast, the first one dressed and the first one waiting on the bus. I waited for my homies to get there boots on and we were off to the plushiest, softest, dryest knee to waist deep powder I have rode in a long time. It wasn´t bluebird but it wasn´t completely whiteout either. it was a nice mix of both and it kept snowing all day all night until we left. Cleaned up soooooo many fresh lines, Cornace drops, 10-15 ft cliff drops into the softest snow ever. The first day was pretty windy so alot of lifts were closed, but they opened up the second day. We stopped at 2 and grabbed our ice cold Heinekin tall boys and red bulls out of the snow and kept riding. One of my friends couldn´t keep up so well, so he got ditched half day both days but it was his choice to stop. EVERY LINE, ALL DAY, BOTH DAYS was just perfect, wether it was trees, whiteout, giant powder spary turns, cornaces, shutes or cliffs. EVERY RUN was the sh*t! ON the last run of the last day, my friends had stopped on the top of the powder noll and I just sprayed the sh*t out of them. and then kept barging, but the wind picked up so much and it was dumping and I got stuck in the powder. I seriously couldn´t tell which way was down, I was just looking for tracks and trying to get in them. Struggling for like 5 minutes I finally see some tracks and then some ppl and then some signs through the fog and made my way down off the face to a more visible lower half. At the end of both days, my hair was completely white and iced to my helmet. I will post pics as soon as i get them from my friends.... http://www.baqueira.es/

Next adventure begins.... Spring Break March 18th for 2 weeks.
