HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY

WEENTER CAMP 2010

This year's winter camp was sick! We went up last weekend on Friday afternoon. A big storm had just put down about 2 feet of fresh and we had to break trail with the snowmobiles about 4 times to pack it down enough to get the gear sled in. This year we had, me, my dad, Jake and his bro in law Jared, and Jessie and Jeff. We were stoked to use the shack we built this fall and rebuilt again after it got chainsawed down. We got it all dug out and when I took the door off the most horrible stench hit me right in the face! I was dry heaving pretty hard. The mice and whatever other animals had taken over the shack and it was full of crap and other goodies. So we ended up sleeping under the stars with just out sleeping bags with 5 degree or colder temps that night. I was super caffeine drunk from the giant Red Bull gift from Jake and about 4 Mt Dew's. Then had a sleeping pill to put me out just before sleeping and I felt like I was at the dentist with about 10 times the legal amount of laughing gas. The next morning we rode the sleds to the base of the zone we always ride and had to hike the rest of the way due to the deep new snow. It was a rough hike up through the fresh pow but super worth it. When we got on top the snow on the cornice shifted a bit and I think Jared messed himself pretty good. This was his first backcountry snowboarding experience. He was a bit nervous but overcame the fears and had a sick run he will never forget. It was a rad time for sure!

Family Shred

Me and Linds took Christian up to Snowbird and rode Chickadee. It was super fun. Chrish showed us some moves like "rocket speed" and played some red light green light and follow the leader. He didn't want to leave. It is such a blast riding with your kids seeing them stoked on something that you love so much. Can't wait for many more of those days to come. Pretty soon Kanyon will get up with us. It will be rad when I am checking the boys out of school on Pow days!

Grooming Snowbird

So last night me and Jake were chillin and thought it would be fun to just head up to Snowbird and just chill. I decided to bring the snow skate along just in case. We only had street clothes on and ended up hiking under the peruvian lift getting fresh pow turns til like midnight. Snowskating a foot of pow is not the easiest thing to do, and we ended up taking some super good falls! Our jeans were basically solid ice and shoes were full of snow. About halfway into our snowskating one of the groomer cats drove by so we flagged him down and asked to ride along. The driver invited us in and we ended up grooming with the cat driver for a good hour or so all over the Peruvian side. He was doing the winch cat so we were hitting some pretty steep terrain winched up to a big pine tree up top. It was sick!!!

More Airboarding

Check the drop out of the heli at the end. So rad!

Yess!!! So cool! Hah ha ha.

This is almost as funny as snowblading. These would be rad sleds though for sure!

Mr T is Awesome!

Take a few tips from Mr T. Dad looks like Snickers is a good thing. No wonder it's your super food!
