With Peak Chair closed and the entire top of Whistler off limits Team Get Awesome opted for the Goat Trail. Seen here navigating the narrowness, Messica is flanked on one side by a massive monolith of igneous rock and on the other by a long drop with a short stop. Despite Intrawest's best efforts to keep us from having fun we always find a way.
Surviving the Goat hike we stopped for a safety meeting amidst VD trees. Ted Shred throwing the obligatory Ronnie James Dio horns.
Always at one with the fauna, Ted Shred can be seen here serenading a song bird. I think this little tramp gave him the birdflu we all ended up with a couple days later.
Onwards and upwards, once on Highway 86 we just kept swimming.....
And then the clouds parted and the goodness became apparent
Reaching the end of the line Ted Shred paid homage to Ullr and made a sacrifice of a half chewed Cliff Bar and Pop Rocks to the avalanche Dragon.
Meanwhile Messica took a nap and Snowmadic couldn't find his keys....
The emergence of a rainbow was confirmation enough that Ullr had heard our call and blessed our passage. The season was off to a not so epic start with the unstable snow, Intrawest's ineptitude and an utter lack of the bottomless pow turns that we're so accustom to, but Team Get Awesome did not let this dissuade us from our mission of total shreducation of the masses. Sometimes you've just got to go for a little walk.
