Kickin' it and a new toque

Am I more excited about the sunshine and powder, or the new toque?





Greg, Bill and I showed up at Kicking Horse Resort on the late morning of the 23rd, and bought single ride lift rickets. We ran into Vinnie and the rest of the crew at the bottom, but parted ways again at the top.



We skied 500ft down the back side and skinned back up. Then we climbed over a peak, and up alongside a permanently closed area that they were currently bombing (exciting! explosions going off nearby!). We skied a semi-tracked couloir down an imposing face - the only easy way down. After all was said and done, it was 2pm. Still one hour before we had to be at the airport, and so I went and bought a new hat downtown.




Shortly before 3pm we arrived at the airport, only to find out everything had been moved up an hour due to impending bad weather. So we were an hour late. Oops. Bill, Greg and I watched a DVD of helicopter safety in a corner, while the other good people finished up outside. Being last, we were of course on the last flight. When it took off, the weather looked like this:





And only got worse. We landed short of the lodge, and had to take a cat for half an hour to get there. But then I had my beer. And dinner. And I had a nice new hat.
