A few cool events happened in the recent weeks.
On Monday, we lifties had a slide night/free bbq. We did this because Whistler Blackcomb recently scored a 97% on customer satisfaction and this was our reward. The bbq was amazing since it was the same stuff that they serve at the restaurants and the slides were a whole another story. They are evil and hurt so much. The slide is basically a small cart for one or two people (usually kids) and it slides down a metal slide with twists and turns. Kind of like one at a playground... anyways, since we were staff, they rolled out the staff carts which had a certain type of safety brake off and we were able to attain a much higher speed. My friend and I jumped on one and it hurt us sooo bad. The cart was fast and unpredictable, the turns weren't as controlled as we planned out to be and in turn we both got out with a lot of bruises and cuts... never again!
On Wednesday, there was an event held by Momentum where the pros and amateurs gathered at the ski jump place and did some really sweet tricks on the water ramps. One of my roomate and I caught up to the final moments and saw some pros throw down. Lots of people gathered around there and there were even Hawaiian dressed girls dancing on the ramps at all times!
The rest of the week had been pretty uneventful, I mainly skiied, worked and hung out with some people. My new skis arrive soon and I can't wait to try them out.
