WOW!!!
What a season we had here on Vancouver Island. Let me list some of the more memorable times:
1. We went up all season from opening to closing day. We had spring conditions on the LAST DAY of the season and not before!! The snow was amazing this winter, with legit winter conditions until April 6. For the West Coast this is almost unheardof!
2. During our annual winter break, my 71 yr old, blind mum spent four days skiing. On the Thursday she hit a little patch, did a slo-mo pirohette and BROKE HER FEMUR! However, she is already talking about skiing next yr when we go!
3. Snowboarding in the trees is a blast. This was the first season I really experienced it and glade boarding opens up whole new aspects of the mtn! Especially in cloudy conditions.
4. I really do need a new board. Although I talked about a Never Summer Premier T5 circumstances prevented me from puling the trigger on it. DAMN! Ah well - next year.
5. Ramen is the BEST lunch at Mt Washington. This yr we got to know the restaurant staff, which made the food even better.
6. Gloves are good, but mitts are even better!
7. Watching my wife rip down the mtn is almost as much fun as riding. Damn, the girl can ski!
8. Steep and deep really rocks!
9. Homemade protein bars rock too.
That's it - see y'all on the slopes next season!
