Snowboarding
Thredbo Photo: Snow and Rainbows
I am at the Sydney airport, waiting to board my flight back to Toronto. I will file a full report, which I’ve already drafted, when I’m back. In the meantime, here’s a photo from my last day in Thredbo.
See you on the other side. And Happy Canada Day! It’s already July 1 where I am.
Thredbo: My Upcoming Snowboarding Trip
I’ve made it to Australia after one hell of a long flight that took me from Toronto to Sydney via Vancouver. The jet lag isn’t so bad thanks to an upgrade certificate I used (beds are better than seats!) and a nap I had this afternoon.
When I found out I would be heading this way [...]
Back, With A Snowboarding Trip on the Horizon.
Hello!
Okay, so it’s been a while. I could make up all the excuses in the world, but the fact of the matter is Josh and I ran out of steam as the winter ended. Not that we were posting tons in the first place, but I think we both ran out of things to talk [...]
Wide Open Spaces
I recently sold my old Honda Civic and purchased a much larger Jeep Liberty Limited. My new car has a lot of bells and whistles that my old car did not. However the best selling point was how it suited my lifestyle.
One thing that snowboarding and biking have in common is that the equipment required [...]
Blue Mountain Opening Once Again
If you happen to live in Southern Ontario you still have an opportunity to check out Blue Mountain one last time before it shifts to green season: the resort will be open for riding and skiing once again this weekend. Details can be found at www.bluemountain.ca.
Ontario Ski Resorts Celebrate ‘Fantastic’ Winter
The Barrie Examiner recently published an article featuring interviews with staff from several Southern Ontario ski areas. All of them seemed to agree that the 2008-2009 winter season had some amazing weather, which led to a pretty long season for most. Interestingly, at least one closed for the season due to apathy rather than a [...]
So Long, Winter
Another season is done, this time marked by a record-low 11 days of riding. So much for being Highly Obsessed. Toss in a vacation, extensive work travel and hectic days at the office and suddenly this blog is neglected. But this post marks two days in a row of posting, a trend I hope to [...]
A Fine Spring Day at Blue Mountain
Yesterday Josh and I headed to Blue Mountain to get in some final turns. Blue decided to re-open for the long weekend after some wacky weather dumped 30 centimetres, so we headed to Collingwood for a last hurrah.
We had pretty low expectations for the day, as Blue reported 9 runs open, a 50cm base, and [...]
Follow Along With an ACL Recovery
Okay, so I haven’t posted in eons. But I swear I have an excuse! More on that in a subsequent post.
In the meantime, I just wanted to flag Andrew’s blog as he recovers from an ACL replacement. Anyone with questions about the process should follow along; he went under the knife five days ago. I [...]
The 2008-2009 Season: May She Rest In Peace
I hope referring to the season as “she” does not offend anyone. I write this post with a rather heavy heart, but it seems that only a miracle will allow me to snowboard here in Ontario again this season. I headed out to Blue Mountain last week (solo again). and by the end of the [...]
