Oh Kicking Horse I missed you

Today we had a 'managers day' at Kicking Horse. It had been several years since skiing there having kids and all, few years ago with mountain bikes as well.

With Marcus living in Parson, he met me with party every night Scott Wight as well. Scott's bus was late so I missed everyone as they went up.

8 cms overnight with 30 the days before turned into one of the top days of my life, hands down! Snowing at the bottom where the sun was shining up top. Our timing was epic - tracks down CPR chutes and Fuez Bowl, patrol opened Super Bowl after being closed for several days with us being about 20th in line. First time down Super bowl mmm. 1st tracks down Glory chute with the topper being at the gate when they opened Whitewall in Fuze Bowl (again closed for several days) at 3pm, 40 cms of steep deep goodness.

Was my first day of the year, can't really count Norquay with Seth between the legs. Epic 1st day! I miss the Horse, such a big mountain with gnarly chutes right off the gondola and chair. Charging all day keeping up with Marcus resulting in 7 runs with approximately 28,000 vertical feet - legs on fire!

40cms of goodness Super Bowl
