raining in town meant that 1000m higher at whitewater it must be snowing. jonas and frederic picked me up and we headed to the mountains. sure enough, it was dumping snow up there.
actually, there was so much snow that the road to whitewater was covered in fresh powder. this made things difficult for cars to reach the hill unless you had 4wheel drive. our car couldn't make it up the road, despite numerous attempts. so we parked it on the side of the road and hitched our way to the lodge. powder day at the end of march. schweet!
there were about 40 people in total on the hill today, including staff. the snow was incredible, soft, fluffy, and freshly fallen. it was fresh tracks all day to ourselves. heaven...literally. did i mention this place has the best snow in the world?
it wasn't as sunny as yesterday, but the dumping fresh powder all day made up for it. to get back to the car we had to do a little backcountry hike down the backside and ride it down to the road. the snow was untracked, but spring like, and therefore really sticky underneath the fresh layer of powder. but i wasn't complaining, i got to ride backside for the first time, and it was killer. steeps, trees, powder...this place is a gem.
those who know are here, those who don't are somewhere else...and that's just fine with the people who are here.
as you can probably tell i didn't bring my camera with me today.
adam freeland is playing at fluid tonight. this place gets world class talent for such a small town. if only i had $25 for cover :eek: maybe i'll drop by at 1:30 and get in for free. who am i kidding, i'm fukkin tired. i'm going to bed.
