Good news: my cheap flip video camera can double as reverse helmet cam
Bad news: The last day of Whistler for 2008 was cold, icy and uneventful.

So the storming stopped finally and we woke to blue bird skies and about 40cms of fresh. Lars, Ida and I hit up a bunch of alpine chutes and the hit the Freaux couloir all the way down to the rode. We stuck mostly lower angle and sheltered slopes as avalanche danger is high. As stability improves we should be able to start skiing higher and steeper lines.

I just arrive in France and the snow started falling in La Grave. Yesterday winds were over 100kmh in the Alpine, it snowed about 30 to 40cms so Lars and I decided to go for a small ski tour.

Happy 25th Bday blazer!, originally uploaded by Andre Charland. Taken 10 Feb '08, 5.24pm PST PST
Blazer hit a quarter century in style last night! We started at 3pm, got kicked out of Merlins and rounded out the night at the crystal drinking more shots that I can remember. Blazer kept his ski boots on the whole time...actually right until the next morning!

Just when I thought it would never come, my first weekend 6 months after shoulder delivered a cold sunny day with my best friends and light powder.

Jamie telling Calvin and Hobbes how it's going to be.
Of course there was some ice, some rocks and not all the lifts were running. Now my calves, quads and back are screaming. But I can't wipe the grin off my face with steel wool! It's on now, the alpine is open the base is settled and it's all cold smoke from here.
