So I'm back home in Kamloops after probably the best week ever. 3 of the sickest days at Castle Mountain, my tattoo is done, and some heavy drinking rounded out my road trip.

Drove out to Castle after picking up my friends in Calgary last Sunday night, had some beers and T-Bar pizza before hitting the hay. Monday was beautiful, a bit hard packed, but with lots of nice wind sift. Spent the day shreddin with my best friend TD and her boyfriend Mike. Took lots of photos, some are in my gallery now. Saw lots of old friends, and I was stoked to see how many people are still hanging around Castle from when I lived there. I also finally got to meet a former coworkers bro, Geordie (mooseknucklur), so that was pretty cool. The resemblance between him and his bro Rod is uncanny...haha. Gotta love sb.com for bringing people together, eh? And you're right Geordie, you are the coolest guy ever.

Monday evening TD, Mike and I made our way back to Calgary. I spent a couple days hanging out around the city, then got my snowflakes finished off on Thursday afternoon. Surprisingly my appointment took much less time than I expected, but no complaints here. But of course, because of that I don't have any pictures of it yet, since my photographer/ride home took off during my sesh and I had to call him to come pick me up afterwards..jackass.. Got to hang out with James for a bit longer though and talk about some other ideas I've got floating around in my head. After leaving Bushido, we went and met a friend at Local Lou's and had a few pitchers, then on to another pub and a few more pitchers. Needless to say, I wasn't feeling too chipper on Friday morning, but I drove to Lethbridge anyways. Saw Norm, who owns Infamous, the board shop that used to be in Pincher Creek. Scored a new hoodie as well as a free t-shirt and stack of stickers. Fook, I love that guy! After I was bored of Lethbridge, which didn't take long, I drove back out to Castle and then climbed into the back of my truck to have a nap until my friend CC got back out to the mountain.

Saturday was so sick, with fresh from during the week. Everything off the red chair was just gnarly, but the lift lines were insane. I've never seen lines so long at Castle, not even when I worked there. Near the end of the day I ran into Geordie again so we hit the single line and did a couple jibber runs off the blue chair since the red chair line was ridiculous. Sunday morning I woke up to a metre of freshies up top. First run of the day I went all the way over into Siwash and North Bowl. F*cking epic! I even got snow up my nose. That's why it really sucked that I had to leave at noon to drive 13 hours through blizzard and rain to Vancouver.

Anyways, I'm fookin sick of driving, and I'm choked that I'm back in Kamloops where the base at SunPeaks hasn't changed since I left. After being back at Castle, I think I may just end up moving back next season...
