Riding still gets my blood going

The rain has come and the snow is building. Whistler has had dumps of 20cm in the alpine now, and today and tomorrow are 50mm+ of rain a day which means the snow is building up even more.. I have started watching snowboarding movies at home to get me in the mood for the season ahead, and we just cancelled a day up at the bike park this weekend, due to the wet. But when a movie like this arrives in my inbox, I still get the urge to run outside and get my bike and head for the hills..

..speaking of bikes.. I wonder if my Lefty suspension has been repaired yet? time to call the shop!

Into the Mind

Winter is coming!

..and we are organising our seasonal lift tickets for the local mountains - Cypress this year, and the rain has started to appear, the clouds are in the sky, the days are shorter and the temperature dropping. Actually the days are really short - we went up to ride some trails after work yesterday, and by the time we got up Mt Fromme to hit Expresso, it was well and truly dusk and we were riding by headlamp on a black diamond trail. Actually it was pretty fun, and thank god there are no real big drops on that one and its nice and flowy. I think I'll take a few more lights and do it again soon!

A friend Paula just sent through the invitation to go see the premiere of Into the Mind, a new ski flick from Sherpa Cinema, and it looks awesome.

Tickets: Purchased!

( I'm still not finished with riding, but its hard not to get excited about winter :D  )
