The last few days have been epic. Laura, Amy, Charles and I decided to head to Vancouver for a change and do some shopping. I can’t shop unless I know what I want, so I got pretty over the whole being stuck in a mall situation rather fast. So what Charles and I decided to do was bowl. I haven’t been bowling in a while and I forgot how fun it is. Jindabyne definitely needs a bowling alley.

I definitely need to work on my bowling skills

The sunsets in Canada are amazing

I have also had a couple more super fun days skiing the mountain. The park is definitely not the best because of the tough grooming conditions they have to deal with, but by 11.30 or 12 its soft enough to not matter and it is a lot of fun. Feels good to be able to mob around the hill as fast as I want, with no worries as to what tricks I need to do. I haven’t had this much spring, slush, fun skiing in a while. I missed it last year because I blew my knee and I missed the Australian spring skiing because of my knee also. So basically, skiing at this time of year, puts a smile on my face and is making me more stoked on skiing now than it has all season!

Backflips. I probably did 20 of them yesterday

I have another 3 days here, I think,  and then I finally head to Alaska for the last shoot of the year with MSP. I hope the shoot goes well and we get some banger shot’s to end the season with.

So my plans have all been mixed up. As I mentioned in the last post I was hoping to go to Mexico as soon as my shoot’s had finished. Turns out my shoot in Alaska with MSP has been pushed back yet again, due to the amount of snow they have. So that means I have no time after the shoot to go to Mexico.

I then tried to figure out if I had time before the shoot to go to Mexico. Turns out I don’t have enough time then either and that means Mexico is a no go for me this year. Maybe next year?

Since I am not going to Mexico I have been making the most of the sun here in Whistler. I have been skiing the best spring conditions and drinking beers in the sun after skiing. Pretty decent way to finish the season!

Might go down to Vancouver tomorrow for a little bit of a shop and a change of scenery.

Just as I thought everything was all sorted and I was about to finish up my season, everything has changed. I booked my flights to Alaska yesterday for the last park shoot of the season. I then got a call from MSP today saying that the snow up there is super unstable at the moment and that we would postpone everything by 5 days.

So I have just been dealing with canceling my flights and figuring out when and if I have enough time to go to Mexico before flying home. Luckily I haven’t booked that yet. I just need to wait for an email from MSP about dates for the shoot and then hopefully I can book everything!

This is what Mexico has in store for me

Guess I am hanging out in Whistler for another week. Yay

I didn’t think a session could get any better than the last one we had. But ow boy it did. We got epic light and some sick tricks. I am more than stoked on what we have got on film! One more park shoot to go, can’t wait!

Words can’t even come close to describing how epic the session was on the jump tonight. We had a banger sunset, a sick crew, a heli and some really sick tricks went down. Can’t wait for the next session tomorrow!

Unfortunately you guys will have to wait and see the shots in the movie. But I promise you, they are unreal!
