Yeah broke my leg in December doing a side jump on a trail (landed on ice really unlucky) and sprained some tendon in March (not smart to ski backwards and catch an edge when getting better from a broken leg). So yeah sucky season you can say, but whatever next year is a new season.

I still have one or two more weekends but I am hoping there won't be any more frost where I live because I want to plant my grape vines so I can make wine from the grapes in 2 years. I also just got a trampoline and got back into inline so I am kind of stoked on spring.

Damn, fair enough.

I live like 5 minutes from three different golf courses, and one of them is a private super exclusive dealy where they hold big tournaments and such, but I can get in because my stepdad is a professional caddy. I think golf is the most boring sport in the world  though so I could really care less.

Nope, unfortunately back home now

The worst thing is that I thought i had work and a girlfriend I wanted to come back to, but now I don't have work, and i've put the girlfriend on long-service leave..

So basically I should have never hopped on that plane out of BC.

^ Furthermore - Vancouver + Whistler + Kelowna + Big White + the places on the way ALL gave me a pretty good experience..

I legitimately enjoyed Canada, and i'm a critic of almost anything.
