 Poster: A snowHead
|
Had a fantastic trip to Banff, Canada, for a week of Skiing courtesy of a Fall Line Ski comp. Big thanks to everyone who put the effort in to make it all come together for an unforgettable week skiing at some of the quietest and remote in-bounds skiing i've had the pleasure to do. I've never skied such varied terrain in one place as i have at Lake Louise. World Cup downhill runs, tree skiing, with and without bumps, couloir skiing, with and without bumps, bump skiing, some bigger than others etc etc... It's been an average season out in lake louise by all accounts following last years huge dumpage, but it still held more than enough snow. It snowed while we were there which kept things nice and fresh. Sunshine has lots of snow and we were fortunate to ski on a fresh powder day. Of the two, we preferred Lake Louise - though we never had a chance to try Delerium Dive at Sunshine as we only there for 2 days and were injured and drunk for one of them 
Anyway, a few pictures below... hope you enjoy them.
Me and Keith at the top of the 6 man chair at Lake Louise.
Keith on one of many double blacks that were on the Ultimate Steeps section on the back bowls of LL
Keith (again... he has pictures of me) heading towards the run out to the larch area on a double black

There be a storm coming on Goatseye Mountain  )
Sparkles in the sun at Lake Louise
There's more photos on my flickr site here
I'll add more over the next few days and hopefully some of me skiing. and some videos to follow as well.
If you get the chance, get over there. A more friendly place you will not visit. Cheap food and drink and some of the best snow i've had the pleasure to ski on. I skied harder and steeper than i have ever before and learned so much about different techniques. Brilliant
If only i could move there

I get my new K2s in September now - think i'm going to go for the Xplorer or Outlaw. I'll sell them at the same time when hopefully folk will be looking for cheap skis.
