The massive dump I mentioned last time continued almost all week so by the end we had around 50 - 60cms of new snow. Which came just in time for the arrival of a mate of mine from Rovers back home.
Anton stayed with me for almost a week which meant he got to experience the wonderful Alberta Family Weekend, which turned out to be our biggest weekend so far on the hill. So many people! The line to the Gondola stretched for ages!! Im glad they're all gone now, back to quieter days which is easier on us.
It was good to see someone from home again, I had a good week with Anton. We skied all over the mountain and I showed him some of my favourite spots and discovered some more chutes on CPR ridge, Feuz Bowl and Whitewall.
Since that big load of snow almost 2 weeks ago we havnt had a thing. Its been blue bird and warm everyday which, dont get me wrong is brilliant weather. Its really warm and fantastic to ski in but we have a big case of needing more snow. Everything is now hard pack and the little stashes where you used to be able to find at least a little powder are all completely tracked out.
Im really hoping for some new snow before Baz, Nudd and Mancer get here but Im not that confident; they keep forecasting snow but just keep pushing it back, the high pressure here at the moment is just too strong. Awell we have better snow than everywhere else, even Revelstoke apparently so thats something.
Without the new snow to cut Ive been keeping myself entertained by doing jumps and trying to do tricks. Ive managed do a small trick and a grab but Im working my way up to others. Id like to be able to do a box properly by the end but Im not sure if thatll happen because we've only got around 5 short weeks before the end of the season.
Thats right around 5 weeks and Ill be heading home. Looking forward to seeing you all.
Have a good one.
