grouse park

Good evening readers of my blog.. mum, dad and Glen.. today i write to tell you once again of my days events.
Today i have once again gone up grouse and it was foggy, as per the recent pattern, and i went down a couple of runs.

Now roll on somewhere arround 1, 1:30 the haze of snow cleared up and not only did i see the city i also received some seemingly nonsensical advice from a girl on the ski lift, if you are not falling down you are not learning.

I did some more runs and as i did i thought about her advice, decided it made enough sense, and so felt compelled to try out the wee park on grouse, like jumps and rails and junk, I bailed a couple of times, landed a couple of jumps and learnt a few things all the while..

so i opened a message from glen this morning, basically they are kicking me out for 3 days and i'm going to live in the woods until dinner with the lee family.

Snow

So, I'm sitting on my bed after a half a day of boarding in poor visibility conditions, and I'm looking out the window at the car, witch is covered in snow, because it is snowing.
had i not just gotten out of the shower i may have half a mind to run out there and make snow angels.
in any case i am amazed and very happy that it is snowing down here, as i think it must be snowing like a mother licker up on grouse and so things are looking good.
Also, Glen tells me that one of his and Sue's friends who works on cypress mountain may have a job for me, I'm not too hopeful as it would have to be under the table because of my lack of a visa but in any case, that would be stunning.

nothin' much

sooo... i went up Grouse again today.. nothing new to report other than I have been riding on blue runs now, or rather i have been riding 'a' blue run, as all the others seem to go to the peak so i have not but one run to ride. In any case, I lost my left glove to the bus today so old leftys gonna be a bit cold on the mountain tomorrow.
Glen showed me some pictures of him and dad in S/A and then London.. it is very strange to see him and dad so young, thin, and with a ful head of shoulder length hair.
In any case, i think thats all from me for today..
