surreal but fun

Did we got a surprise this week or not..

a few days ago they were doing the fresh tracks for the last time this season,

and the boys had some tickets over from bulking up on them earlier.

So we thought it would be nice to go up everybody for some breakfast and to get the great opportunity to wake up 5.30 in the morning to stand in line for an hour one last time..

As usual we were among the 10 first people in the line, and as we predicted the line started to grow bigger then ever, earlier then usual because of the absents of snow this season, and people obviously gonna have tickets they wanna use..

So well worth getting up early to get the best of it right.. I mean 15-20 min in the morning still don't give that much right.. yes it does but anyways.. I'm really glad we did go up early..

Well up the top there were still below temperatures and apparently all the rain that had fallen in the village had fallen as snow up here.. and a good 20-30 cm aswell..

Boy did we get stoked..

So for the last time this season we chucked down as much as you possible can in 15 min, filled zip-lock bags and tupperware boxes full of fruit, cereals, yogurt, bacon, muffins and all you can think of the get as much as possible out of the buffe'. Then out the doors and shred some fresh powder..

and because nobody really expected the amount of snow everybody was caught off guard and we found some great tracks..

The best thing was that we stayed 4 people in our little group, don't wanna be to many riding pow ending up waiting and loosing virgin snow..

and all agreed that we would go to the peak chair lift and wait for it to open to be first up the peak with all it's glory..

It was still snowing and the visibility wasn't the best in the morning so it was dead empty when we got down, asked the liftie when they were going to open ,if it was any idea waiting..

the answer was maybe an hour, so we looked at each other and undid our bindings..

We played around a bit outside and in the lift when the guy said we could wait inside..

and so we did.

After maybe 30 min some more people found the way down and starting to build a line..

So great sitting inside the little lift hut being warm chatting around with the lift guy looking out on the poor bastards thinking they are first, then just before they open you grab your board and take the first chair up the peak in front of everybody, imagine the long faces hehe..

And what a run.. I made it before with Renen but then we where maybe 10th chair up.. now we were No; uno!! and in mid April, and the Sun started to show..!!

Maybe had the best day of the season. absolute mad!

and the next day we were out in the park making stunts in T-shirt and 15 degrees in the sun..!! 

Bizarre and surreal!!!

love it... love it..!

Making the 15 dollars worth it..

ate free spaghetti carbonara that night, and breakfast the rest of the week :) 

do I look innocent enough..? hehe
