If you want to have fun when skiing, it seems like the trick is to not be spoiled. Here in Nelson, the locals started talking about crappy snow already a week ago. As a Swede, I’d say it’s still powder where it’s not tracked out. Ha ha. It’s not deep, and it’s fast as hell. But pretty soft! On the top…
A couple of days ago, Jesse Hoffman, Thayne Rich and Aidan Sheahan came up here to Nelson to shoot with Sweetgrass. Good with some young energy! We went for a couple of laps in the flatlight today. So here are some B&W shots:
-
- Macro shot of the surface hoar at the moment. So, so bad.
-
- Hello roof box.
-
- Hello slow lift. I like you.
-
- If I didn’t decide this would be a black and white blog, you would have seen the kind of creepy match on my skis and clothes. You can still see the creepy positioning of my logs though…
-
- One for fun. Nice mini golf zone.
-
- Two for fun.
-
- I guess you can call it “winter fingers”. It hurts.
-
- The conditions are supposed to be super safe, but today this happened. Wind I guess… Have to get a proper report tomorrow.
-
- Well hello.
-
- Three pretty stoked Americanos.
-
- Thayne trying to push for more speed?
-
- Aidan looking for the tranny.
-
- And fckn finally! It started snowing.
