Canada,



Well here I am back in Squamish BC Canada after a comfy 13 hr flight. We went to vancouver island to pick up our truck an snowmobile that was ment to be a short one night stay an pic up turned into a few, our truck had a few problems well one really it wouldnt start to make a long story short we gave up on it an traded her in for another one which i must say is nicer then the old.
We were so lucky our friend Jonavan was able to help us out we had left our truck at his an then he put us up for a few days which was awesome while we sorted our truck. Vancouver island is so beautiful in some ways it reminds me of home. The pace is allot slower than the main land the people are so nice the trees are massive its so pretty.
We were staying at the bottom of the island an one day we drove up the west coast to sombrio beach it was amazing huge trees all the way down to the water with rough wild ocean the boys all went surfing crazy asses i was freezing on the beach in my snowboard jacket on so they must have been really feeling the cold!
so we had an adventure on the island it was fun, glad to be back snow boarding now we went to blackcomb a couple of days to break in the new boots then had a couple of amazing days sledding we were lucky some new snow came and it was blue bird couldnt ask for more!
The spot we went to was new for me an so beautiful so much terrain a bit of something for everyone. We had a great time in the deep powder cutting fresh tracks on the sled getting stuck remembering how to ride it ha ha good times.
We went out with a couple of buddys yesterday an shot some photos was so fun. Our photog buddy had a hard time with his sled it broke down so that sucked he had to leave it. He didnt seem to mind to much we all still had a super fun day.
I have a very tired body so decided to have a rest day today.
