Now well into april with the weather getting warmer we thought the powder days were all but gone. Luckily we were wrong and so far this week we have had loads more snow!
Yesterday we all went up the hill to do some runs. The weather was perfect and turned out to be one of our best days yet. Check out the pictures of some of the views we are luckily enough to encounter everyday 
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.
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.

For the past few days we have been battling temperatures of – 20 to 30 °C – its been super cold and resulted in a few half days on the slopes.On a plus side we’ve had a few bluebird days so the visibility has been great. The snowboarders have now finished learning all the teaching objectives for level one and will be working on their riding and practice lessons for their level 1 in just over a weeks time! The skiers will be taking their level one much later on in the season close to their level 2 exam.
So in an attempt to celebrate Gale’s 21st we all went to Whistler to “The Village” who were hosting a YMCA party. Unfortunately the message got mislaid and we were told the theme was fancy dress, this lead to Sam wearing a cow outfit.
