Marchpow

A few days ago a Pete, me and Flo enjoyed a coffee in the spring sun waiting for some fresh snow ...
... and it came! Almost 20 cm over night led to another great, fluffy, fun powder day. Temporarily, the now flakes have been big as a human fist.
As you can see, it was easy to hide behind sprays.
This bad boy is not that easy to hide though. Seems like Mike Basich was enjoying this march powder day, too.

Winter Is Back

After a week of spring, winter came back and brought us some more of this white powdery stuff. 

Fabo guided us into the catski area

You can either pay over 500 bucks for a catski trip into this area or walk
Looking back
Turning around after scouting some lines 
Fresh lines everywhere
Seems like the ski patrol has a sense of humor, too.

Revelstoke Beach In Motion

Alexis edited his first blockbuster movie. He already developed some special skills with the text animations ...

Good morning Revelstoke ...
... it seems like the Young Guns are ready (and equipped) to get a spring session started.

The whole session with music and beers in the sun felt like beeing somewhere else. At the moment it's snowing again though, what a bummer!

Spring-Time In The Park

Getting the small board out again, it's spring-time in town!
Ellie is doing some avalanche research. They cancelled the Freeride World Tour today because of bad avalanche conditions. She had a part in that decision for sure.
Playground overview. Alexis is having some fun and Ellie is still digging for treasures. 
We soon started filming for something big coming soon ...
Behind the scenes of a professional filming session with professional equipment. At least there was a professional snowboarder in the background.

Marian's Backyard

Marian lives pretty close to the resort but yesterday we decided to go to his backyard. So instead of chair lift laps we did some hiking.
Alexis is trying to make his way through the deep deep snow.
A temporary base, which could be found often that day. 
I can't remember what my arm did, but I tried to send it into a pillow.
Marian, blocking through some pillows. 
A 'behind-the-scenes' shot for a real Snowboarding Blockbuster movie coming soon... 
In the end of the day we've been thinking: "How was your day?" ... "Ours was better!"
