Breakin the board in

So my snowboard has been calling to me the last few weeks..trouble is the ski resort is 1.5 hours away and costs mucho mullah. I've been nagging my mates to go for a backcountry hike but its hard to get people motivated!




I finally tricked my friend Tamera to go up Tiehacker with me, its a steep quick accent through the trees which sucks the life out of you when you have a board strapped to ya back. I curse the thing then forget the pain for 3 mins of bliss powder.

It was Tamera's first time up the mountain so she had a smile on her face when she checked out the view...you should see it on a sunny day!





This was me after making my first tracks of the season, I had one slight tumble when I went off a small ledge to be greeted by some bushes beneath-Still lots to be covered up, but it was some sweet powder!






Can you spot Tamera in this pic coming down? Its like Where's Wally?
