The spring conditions at Sunshine were fantastic today, under a blazing sun and about 25 °C. The mountain was a giant Slurpee, which is a lot of fun, especially in the moguls. We took a little trip into the back country, down a popular creek drainage. Near the bottom we had to navigate running creek water, rocks and logs! Great fun!
I skied in a t-shirt most of the day, and managed to get a fantastic farmer’s tan. All I need is some straw to chew on. If you’re thinking of coming out, Sunshine is open until the 22nd, and this weekend, BC/DC will be playing in the Village. Its awesome to ski when bands are playing there; you can hear the music all through the mountains. BC/DC is somewhat famous in the ski world, especially since their appearance in the Teton Gravity Research film, Tangerine Dream. I’ve always wanted to see them, but I’ve never managed to be in the right place at the right time.
The Slush Cup will be held on Monday as well. Its pretty entertaining. Bring the kids! There is usually lots of nudity and excessive debauchery.
