Wow, ok, so it has been a ridiculously long time since my last blog and much has happened and lots has changed but I'm kinda back in the same place as I was when I last wrote on Jan 2, 2009. Right now, I am 3 and a half weeks post-knee reconstructive surgery and am progressing like a text-book patient. Life consists of physio, going to the gym to swim, do cardio and weights when I'm not at the gym, hanging with Stuart (who's now moved to civilization and no long...

So the news was as bad as expecting and my surgeon is fairly certain that I've ruptured my ACL (a partial tear would be very rare). I'm seeing him on Tuesday for dates to have an MRI done and confirm surgery which will most likely be in Vancouver. What a way to welcome 2009!! On crutches and a knee brace. I spent the night on the couch at the 18Below masquerade party taking photos while everyone danced and got progressively drunker. Most sober New Year's I've had...

Ok, so I'm really bad at keeping up with this blog or even remembering what day it is. So in summary, life was going great, started working 5 nights a week at the Mountain Club, things were getting busier in the lead up to Christmas, riding most days, started work at the Crystal Hut making world famous "fully loaded" waffles on Christmas Day, then on 27th Dec at about 430pm when we were riding down from the Hut after work, I hit a mogul and blew out my ...

It's been an awesome weekend of skiing. Had a big night out on Thursday night for Lou's Birthday.

The glass bottom Gondola was awesome, some brave (stupid) guy lay down on it for the ride across. They had music, videos of guys base jumping from the Apex, free hot cho...

Riding actually. Tried snow boarding for the first time ever! Thanks to Damo for putting up with my falling over, taking him out and crashing into people off chairs (only once though). It's so counter intuitive to skiiing. Lean back to stop. Starting doing heelside tea leaves down the hill and after stacking it for the first couple of hundred metres made it the rest of the run without stacking. Second run made it down the first half then got wiped out be a fello...
