Trew Crew taking a breather and soaking in some sun.
Caught some good turns saturday with some great friends – Casey Vandenbroek and Pat Sewell. We hiked Highlands bowl for the first time this season, and although the conditions are still a bit gnarly, we found a nice windlip to have some fun with. Enjoy the pictures, courtesy of Jeremy Swanson and Aspen SkiCo.

Well, it seems that the last six or so weeks of my life have existed in that place between ‘holy shit, that was awesome!’ and ‘wait, what just happened?’, leaving me in a fluttering state of mind. Going into it, I knew my time in Canada would pass quickly, but ninety days flashed right on by. The last few weeks were chock full of new experiences and wild stories. I had a chance to ski from the summit of Mt. McKenzie and cross Arrow Lake on an inland ferry with my van in the same day. I drank a boilermaker shot with some Canadian Legion members and skinny-dipped with fellow ski bums Leah Evans and Dersh later that evening. I swam in hot springs – commercial and natural, with tunnels and diving boards, hot and cold dips – all around the Kootenays , from Ainsworth to Fairmont, Halcyon to Radium.
Ahh, Facebook. Doer of deeds done great, yet always toying with my tender ski bum heart. Why do you throw those little curve-balls which present a snafu of a situation to a wandering rubbertramp? You have been so kind and generous to me, casting me in that familiar bluish glow from the little pixels neatly arranged on my laptop monitor. To a weary traveler found alone in the cold, snowy night, you have helped me find lost friends only to be lost again amongst the many other trials proffered on the open Winter roads. Yet still you present me with circumstances to which I cannot comprehend; circumstances that are most unfortunate.
Due to Facebook’s privacy settings, I am finding myself incapable of leaving a comment on a photo someone posted of my good friend. So, Casey, I just wanted to say this to you: "Great job, my friend. Let’s get ready for more!"
Big airs like Casey
