whats that comin over the hill, is it a monster !?

On Monday Debi and i got the Greyhound bus up to Whistler, it cost $30 and takes about 2 and a half hours. The view out the window is pretty nice with loads of trees and snow and mountains...all you need in a view really. As usual Debi organized the trip so our hotel was wonderful and we got a really good deal which included our lift passes and my board rental. I was able to rent a high performance Salomon board which i think made a difference to my riding. I definitely had a lot of fun. The pics are in a bit of a strange order so use your imagination !

that helmet may not look that cool but when i fell after going off a jump that was out of my league and something crashed against my skull i was very pleased the helmet intervened.
