What A Great Week

After over a month of snow and rain finally the sky’s opened up here in Pemberton and the crew was able to get after it. The crew was Dana, Callum, our filmer Rick, still photog Mark Fisher, HD guy ED, myself and a couple other bro’s Chedder and Treat. The first couple of days was full on leaving in the dark and going all day in the deep snow, digging out sleds, hiking lines and then returning in the dark. Needless to say we were quickly getting exhausted but the motivation to crush it kept us going strong. After two days Callum had to leave for a heli trip in Stewart and then two days after that Dana had to leave for Italy leaving only myself to keep the big production crew busy. The wind had come in strong hammering the snow and limiting us to only a couple of zones where the snow had stayed good enough to still send it. I was able to keep the crew busy for the rest of the high pressure thanks to my friends Chedder and Treat for helping shuttle me around and keeping me motivated by charging lines with me.
Here are some shots from the week.

After the strait line we couldn’t find any more good snow. Being close to Bralorne we decided to go to the pub for well deserved burgers and beer. This shot is me after just pulling into town on my sled.
