On a day off I headed up to Louise with my friends Pete, one of the guys who works at the hostel, and Alex (of the German Male Variety) for some fun shredding. We were lucky enough to happen upon the opening of the ER3 chute off the Paradise chair.
Check out this shot of me that appears on the website dropping over the cornice..
Felt like a minor celebrity when my coach text me that this was up on the website before I had even left the ski hill. I have, after all, had two photos on the site this season!!
The last week my sister Hannah has been staying which has been great. We had some lovely bluebird turns up at Louise, have enjoyed going out for dinner with friends in Canmore and I have loved showing her how my life works here. It was also a great opportunity for Han to catch up with some friends from Melbourne who now live in Canmore. Unfortunately she is heading home on Thursday to finish off her pHd. However, these are some really special memories that I will treasure & remember for a long time.
In any event I'm pretty excited about Thursday as it is the day we fly to Denver to race our first Nor Am at Copper Mountain in Colorado! Can't wait to hit up the course as I know that I'm riding better than I ever have before and have got all the skills to really show people what I'm made of this season. On that note I better get back to putting more layers of wax on my super fast board!
I will keep you updated on the course at Copper and how the race goes. Fingers crossed.
Sending happy & excited smiles from Canmore!!
YYEEEEWWWWW go Alex cya in louise soon!!!
