So it's late January already, thank fookin jebus.. The only thing I have to look forward to right now is spring break, which starts February 18th. I'm finally getting my tattoo finished off, and since my tattoo artist is in Calgary, it gives me a great reason to make a couple stops on the way to shred. I'm hitting up my old digs, Castle Mountain for sure, and hopefully Fernie as well, since I've never been. If all goes well I should have a sexy riding companion for at least a day, which should make it even more fun. Hopefully a little jaunt into Lethbridge to pick up a new Infamous hoodie and catch up with Norm a bit. Also I'm looking into buying a new board, and there's no one I'd rather buy it from than my buddy Norm. I'm demoing a new Salomon board tomorrow, so maybe that will help narrow down a few of the boards I'm looking into. It's the Salomon Prospect LTD 157. I'm super stoked to try it out, as I want a board with a ton of flex, and it seems pretty forgiving. We'll see though. I really want to try to support a smaller board company this time, like Capita, Endeavor, or Stepchild. Any suggestions would be appreciated since I'm having a hell of a time deciding on anything. I will admit though, I'm quite smitten with the Option Jordan Mendenhall 156. It's got a nice flex pattern and killer graphics too..hmm..decisions decisions..
Other news in the life of Jocelyn, is that I've decided going to school in the winter sucks ass..go figure. So, because of this realization, I'm taking summer classes instead of going back to Whitehorse, and I'll be taking the winter semester off and moving to a resort. I can't handle only getting to ride once or twice a week, it's killing me. I haven't quite decided where I'd like to go yet, but I'm leaning towards Fernie, since I've heard the terrain is very similar to Castle's but it's bigger. I like steeps and deeps, and that seems like the place to go. I guess I'll see next month whether that's the place for me. Kicking Horse is always another option, or maybe Panorama, although it looks like they aren't having a stellar snowfall this season.
