How boot that Eh!

There's no better motivator to get to the hill than a snowdrift shaped like your car...

Being hailed as the first real solid day this season, the peeps were lined up deep at the Creekside monkey hauler. Once again the Auzzy contingent was running the lifts, so we had a 50/50 chance of getting to the top.

Tragically Intrawest still had Whistler Peak closed... claiming an unstable snowpack combined with lack of qualified Avy Patrolers, Peak Chair would remain closed well into February. Closed Avy signs became a common sight in the BC Coast Range this year.

We eventually escaped the masses and navigated away from the closed areas to reach the promised land. Here you can see the results of our labors. Eating it up!

Snowmadic and Artimus Maximus (AtM) hiking up the highway to reach the land of pow fields and movie reels. With all the alpine terrain closed until further notice Team Get Awesome made up for it with a whole lotta walking.

Hiking up Highway 86 we eventually reached the end of the line and the closed Avy sign.

Upon dropping AtM decided he was just going to wallow in the wonderousness of a vacant Peak to Creek. After a couple pitches he came to the conclusion that uber fluff blower without a base can be a little inhibiting on retaining speed. There's never too much Snow!!! Team Get Awesome made a couple more laps and shredded turns with the best of them. Get it while you can because snowfall is a fickle thing.
