I can't believe I made it

Well the weekend is behind us and I turned 30. Wow, can't believe I made it. You know people say it's a life changing experience, I'm not sure I can say that, partly because my maturity level never really peaked past my teens. I have decided that it is time to get in shape though so I will try and keep you posted as to how that is going, if I can resist those barley flavored beverages things should go well. 


Any way we spent the weekend out at Stokely Creek. Saturday was the Loppet that is always a blast. We spent the night and skied on Sunday as well. 
Thanks to everyone who came out. I'm lucky to have great friends to enjoy these activities with.

The start of the loppet

The first refreshment stop, nothing like a can of pabst to replenish carbs!

We stopped one more time at the top of the big climb just before Norms to stake claim to our own natural patio.

Christie and Carrie at Norms, the girls had to wait quite a while for us there.

Everyone scoping out the famous down hill to Bone Lake

Carrie was the first to take the plung

No Problem

T with his game face on, Thanks to the ski patrol for putting up with our antics.

He is in the air!

And he's down!

Here I am after I dug my head out of the snow. It seemed to be going so smoothly.

I felt like Gordy!

Greg is trying some acrobatics.

Nice recovery!

Back at the Lodge after stuffing our faces with food and drink.

The night was great we had dinner at the lodge and hung out at the clubhouse for most of the night.

The next day we set out for King Mountain. In a round about way. Decide that the right way to get there was to take an un groomed snowmobile trail. It brought us to some great down hills and a lot of powder, wished I had touring skies instead of my world cups.

Everyone scouting it out. 

Quote of the day goes to T

"If we need to come back up this it is going to be 90% complaining till we get back"

Looks like fun eh. It was more like a bob sled run that made its way down the valley.

And that's it, we did make it to the top of King Mountain for a great view, there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

The best thing about going to king moutain is the way down, what took us a bit over 2 hours to get up took 30min to bomb down.

We were lucky to get a bunch of snow the Thursday before the loppet which made for great conditions.

Our Bikes knocking at the door to get in.

 Don't they look sad?

Well, 30 doesn't seem so bad after all. Can't wait for next year.
