Day two put me and my twin Trav at kicking horse. The conditions kept us from first chair to last. A late morning storm came through, filling in the morning's lines. Late afternoon the sky broke and gave us great light for the rest of the day. For real, after riding snow for thirty years (i started as Soon as I was walking) today was easily my best to date. Trav was steering me through some lines that I had no idea I could handle. Steep and narrow by my standards. Plus a new board courtesy of Adam at propagandashop.com has given me way more confidence. I Now believe the rocker hype. Got me thinking , the ole adage of it's not the ski but it's the operator only goes so far. New gear and new technology will make you ski better. It's a fact.
Headin downtown for good music and beer.

We are over in London for the holidays. Landed to a few solid inches of snow. Paige has seen snow before but this is Meg and Will's first play in it. They went nuts and were out in making snow balls for a few hours yesterday. Just saw that the new website is looking awesome, Sully and Adam great job. RadaR team members Whit and Jay are running my school this week thanks for covering for me. Thanks guys! Whit congrats on IWWF Female Athlete of the year...a no brainer in my books! I added a pic of Frosty keepin it real here in London.

Day one and it's me and my twin Trav at Sunshine, just outside of Banff Alberta. Decent conditions, more like late January than December I think. Good base with plenty of soft on top. Trees were holding the goods for us today, and I'm lucky enough to have a brother who is also a guide. He spent the day pointing out lines for me, making sure I had fresh, without getting broke off... This guy is the shit.
On to Golden BC now. It's dumping right now, and we're staring down Seven days at Kicking Horse.

Our First Lady of Radar had quite the year. We're so proud.. after all, we are family. Just like our little sister won the high school debate competition... wait scratch that metal picture! She's way gnarlier to describe any other way than straight shasher. Whit's making more turns than anyone on any given day and we're proud to call her our own...

White Room
Golden is getting puked on. Heading to Kicking Horse tomorrow; but here's the kicker: gotta roll STC to Calgary. That means 12 hours on a bus line that suffered a savage homicide involving full decapitation less than 12 months ago. Might wanna tuck my chains on this route...
