I actually can't even remember the last time it snowed like this in Toronto, even though it's not even that much.

23 is a weird age. 22 is like the end of youth, and 24 is like you're just really becoming a man. But what the fuck is 23? It's like limbo.
Not sure if I like it

Why?

Don't get me wrong, I love to ski pow as much as the next guy, but skiing pow all day everyday would get really boring to me. At your one mountain, there is a pretty limited amount of terrain and there's really only so much you can do with that. If it's pow all day everyday, it won't be all that long before you've done everything there is to do.

Parks get changed just about every week though, making it possible to do something completely different every week, and from there you can continue to see more things that are possible in the park.

And if you're talking about the way I wrote that, it's because I was bored as shit at work, and wanted something to amp myself up about and be retarded.

but there is nowhere with pow days EVERYDAY. thats the point. no matter what the circumstances, on a pow day, i'd rather be skiing pow than park. you will ALWAYS be able to go hit the park while your mountain is open. you WONT always be able to go ski pow.

yeah the park allows for more variety if you think about it that way but skiing pow never ever gets old. if you're bored, huck a new cliff, try a new trick off said cliff, learn butters, drop a different chute, hike somewhere new, push yourself. theres no end.


i support both park and pow skiing, but you will never find me in the park on a real pow day.

I wouldn't give up hope just yet, your sale's been up for what, a day? That jacket's a relic from the golden age of faux-gangsta skiing, it's too sick for someone not to buy.

I dislike the rude people of NS.
I prefer not to be rated at any point.
Don't call a pregnant woman ugly or fat unless you want to unleash hell.
2/10 is not a rating, it is an insult.
I ski better than you anyway.

I can't sleep. This doesn't usually happen, I'm used to being able to sleep wherever and whenever. But now I just can't. Super nervous about my driving test in the morning, and anxious (sp?) about a friend who lost her friend in the avalanche they were both buried in.

Can't fucking sleep.

I meant that more as an answer to the commonly asked "everyday pow or perfect park" question. I mean, of course I'm going to ski pow on a pow day. I do enjoy skiing powder; I love shredding through the trees and slashing turns and shit. But I couldn't do it everyday.

I don't understand why it's a thing that if you are a skier you have to like skiing pow more than anything. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that pow comes around so much less often than the ability to ski park in many areas. Maybe it has something to do with the perception that those who ski park exclusively and prefer it over powder are worse skiers. Either way, it doesn't bother me.

That said, tomorrow will be a powder day, and I will be waking up to ski powder. The day after that, I am hitting rails.

Went skiing today, first run after a few turns I got the most incredible headache. Went down to patrol and they told me to go to the clinic, apparently I got a concussion even though Ive skied 3 days this season so far and haven't hit my head. Now I'm at the hospital in cranbrook waiting for the results from a CT scan. I either have a concussion that I can't account for or my brain is bleeding, hoping this scan rules out brain bleeding. Waiting on the results now, will report back when/if I figure out what is going on.

After 23 hours of actual work in my old ski shop... I never want to work for someone other than myself again.

I've been running my own business for 2 years now. My old boss got me drunk and I opted to volunteer to work holiday. WHAT WAS I THINKING?! I make less money, have to run around non stop like a crazy person, and make 1/3rd of what I do on my own.

I appreciate my field of work a lot more now.

i am really fucking hung up over this one girl, and the said part is, i probably talk to her more than of her other friends, and she has a boy friend. not even deep pow skiing can get me out of this funk.

I don't think I could sleep either, that place is honestly the dopest resort ever. I was there in the summer one year and I've never seen a park of that scale since. Outshines A51, whistler highest level, everything. You're going to have the time of your life.

My recent actions have resulted in upsetting an amazing girl I had a thing with.

Honestly could have been the one.

Now there is no chance our relationship will continue and our friendship will most likely be jeopardized as well.

Most unfortunate, I wish I had a time machine.

I have two extra spots to go to Vermont and ski with Nick Goepper, and in all honesty there aren't anyone i want to take with me, like i just don't have that many friends. I'm taking one person and that's it.


if there is anyone close to mt.snow and wants two free lifts tickets for feb 2 and 3 let me know.

I"m stoked.

I pulled the trigger on 194 Surface New Life's (my dream ski for a long time) for $299 this morning. I sold my Live Life 2's to my brother who is visiting (and just started skiing this year after snowboarding since he was a little kid).
I'm also going to check out a 97' Volvo 850 turbo wagon that has been super well taken care of tomorrow. I also get to see a whole bunch of family I haven't seen in ages this weekend.

Life is awesome right now.
