So far this week…
Sam and James took part in a 3day Avalanche Skills Training course. The first day was first aid and they both passed after an 8 hour lecture (finishing at 4:30pm). They then had to attend a 3hour lecture in the evening to prepare them for the course the next day. He they were shown examples of avalanches and learnt about the different causes, sizes and essential equipment when traveling in the back country.
James made this video of us doing a few of our favourite tree runs both on Whistler and Blackcomb. We were demoing a few cameras and put together this clip so you guys could see the kind of stuff we’ve been up to recently.
The song is All of This by the Naked and Famous incase you wanted to know. First time filming with the new mounts so its a little bit shakey but hopefully we will have some new footage next week now we are used to how the cameras work.
Laurie broke the internet so we havent had connection for a few days.
This weekend Sam went to Vancouver with a group of people from Base Camp to watch an Ice Hockey game between the Vancouver Giants and Portland….

So today Sam and James went to Blackcomb. We had 10cm of snow overnight which was good as the slopes were beginning to get a bit icy from the extreme temperatures last week. This was the view from the Solar Coaster Lift on Blackcomb at around 10:30.
