Kat's Birthday!!

We went down to fernie BC for Kat's birthday, it was excellent timing, after raining the past week and then freezing conditions wern't the best but luckily it snowed at least 25cms the day before we arrived and kept snowing the whole time we were down there!! So we slayed heaps of pow, happened to randomly meet up with a few people we knew who showed us the goodness...
Reubs slaying the gnar in Fernie. There is some pretty sweet terrain there and the conditions were SO GOOD!!

We were staying in a place with a hydro-slide (water-slide for North Americans) Yeah, that's RIGHT a water slide...so i got to test out my new water-proof camera by taking water slide film footage, but i don't know how to put that on here sorry-so you get a photo...

AAH, so we started the day with a Champagne Breakfast which turned into peach schnapps, jagermeister and baileys, (not at the same time!) and the boys cooked up a great eggs benny which probably saved the day! Here is a photo of 'lunchtime' (Beer) at a little hut in Fernie which has a fireplace and you can just hang out and try to keep warm (it was cold). After that the skiing went downhill pretty fast so we had to head back to the hotel...

Kristin, Kat and Reubs. Lunchtime!

We went out for dinner (always tricky on valentine's day) and eventually ended up in some random downstairs bar, which due to the horrid V-day, turned out to be a Lingerie party! Funnily enough we randomly bumped into another dude we met in NZ! Got pretty wasted and Buck got us up very early the next morning because it was PUKING and we had to go slash some more pow in Castle mountain-this resort out in the middle of NOWHERE! WE bought the patrollers some beer for free tickets, they were awesome and took us around all day to show us the pow stashes. They have the longest T-Bar in North America (thank GOD cos we were so hung over we needed the time to recover) I have a pretty sweet bruise due to hitting a tree at high speed and not being able to turn...anyhoo, another week at work, it has been dumping so we have been shredding! YEah, good times in Canada...
