Best powder i have ever had... yet... and some Back Country boarding

Over the past 7 days there had been 83cm of new snow at sunshine village!
Tuesday the 31st a friend and i went out to sunshine to go boarding for the day.

Got there about 10:30 and the snow was AMAZING!
Numerous amounts of powder covering all of the mountain.
After a couple warm up runs we decided to hike out to "Wawa back door" Which is the back side of 1 of the slopes and it is back country.
It was about a 10-15min hike out to hit, and well worth it. We got first tracks on that day in about 30cm deep powder.
INCREDIBLE!!! One of the best snowboarding experiences i have had yet!

So soft and fun to ride in.



The conditions were still pretty good the next couple of days as well.

Friday and saturday i spent the day doing runs through the park, working on boxes and rails.

I would go from the top of the chair lift, working on carve turns and then through the park. Praticing board slides and rotating while on the box, and also got confident enough to jump onto the rails from the side.
Making some great improvements and loving where it is taking my boarding skills!

No videos of those days as i just went out, but the weather was incredible. between 5 and -5 and sunny blue sky. Was great to board in.

It is now Sunday, Superbowl sunday at that!
I am going to head out to Wild Bills after i finish work and get into their $6.99 all you can eat chilli dogs that they have put on for the superbowl. Apparently like 23 different toppings or something. should be fun followed with a few drinks.
