Snowboarding in Canada 1/2

< Back Home

Here's my new "King of the mountain" pose...

...I was trying to compete with some of the locals for looking hard...

...or stupid (it's all in the eye of the beholder I guess):

The weather cleared up enough to get a few mountain snaps:

Looking down a run towards Fernie township in the valley:

And then it was through Banff National Park:

To get to Lake Louise, where the snow was much better:

We caught up with Mike and his mate James (from left to right, Pete, Ian, Matt, Cat-in-the-hat, Mike and James) which was fantastic, as Mike has worked the season at Lake Louise so he new all the sweet places to go to find powder:

Chilling out after a sweet day of skiing:

A nice photo I took on the way to the pub:

A drunk shot, showing how deep the powder was in places:

Salty, freaken himself out with the fear of avalanches rather than bears this time:

Me nipping around a tree run (I'm, hooked, tree runs kick ass)

And finally Mike at the top of a black diamond (on an easy run, normally he's nailing double black diamonds):

And that was the first week! No cat-skiing unfortunately, but we've got our fingers crossed for heli-skiing later on this week... stay tuned...

Update: Check out "Snowboarding in Canada 2/2" for the next set of pics including a heli-skiing vid!
