My first full day on the mountain, and time to walk the walk.

A late breakfast almost caused us to miss the bus up the mountain but luckily there were too many people so they called a second bus for us. The trip is was quite quick as I was overjoyed with actually feeling good and about to spend a full day on the slopes….ahem I mean the mountains {your such a raciest Damien}

It was freakin busy when we got there…people were everywhere.  Finally got on the powder and we all headed for the ‘magic carpet ride’, it’s like an escalator built into the snow to take you up the slight slope they built for first timers (or just really shit skiers).

Quite a few hours of getting back use to it all and frustration and bruises for the others we retreated for some lunch.

Matt and Em left on the early bus at 2:30 because Matt had fallen and hurt his bung knee, the boys and I stayed on and took a level 3 lesson on boarding so Friday would be a little more enjoyable. The picture explaining the level seemed right (imagine toilet symbols snowboarding)….it turned out to be a little harder then first thought for Damo and Bryce but by then end we were all pretty happy with our new skills.

Once home we sauced up again and headed out to the Pig and Whistle for some much needed hearty food, Damo and I ordered the prime rib and Matt got some crazy ass big chicken burger….everyone seemed much happier.

After dinner we decided to check out the ice bar “Minus 5″, Damo wasn’t really feeling it so he stayed home.

We had to book in for a 30min session, $25 with a free cocktail. The bar was pretty cool…get it “cool” and the drinks were awesome.
