So with the sun in the sky, a few friends and myself figured it would be a great day to hit up whistler… New snow, blue skies, SHOULD be a good day.
I'm actually impressed at how lacking their coverage is.
So instead, we decided we should ride Burnaby Mountain instead.
That's right. Top to bottom.
We parked the car at Hastings and Duthie around 5:00 pm. Just enough light to make sure we didn't get lost coming down the mountain.
The whole idea was to say that we actually left whistler to go ski bby mountain. Ridiculous, we know.
We got a ride up from a friend who was on his way home… To res we go.
After a rip down from the res parking lot…
… and a hop across the street(s)
We ended up on the trans canada trail. My excuse for lack of pictures was: "It was too dark".
So here's the money shot of myself skiing the median with the bus driving by… That's right, the 135.
The sad part is, I hit less rocks skiing SFU (0) then I did at Whistler (a couple).
I'm sure you could actually get some good turns after a good dump like tonight.
So for those of you at SFU complaining… GO RIDING!
The end.
