Can't remember when my last blog entry was but I'm pretty sure it didn't cover my trip back home to Sydney for a month, a road trip to Queensland, summer in Whistler and now a 2 week trip to the Alaskan Interior and a cruise down the Inside Passage! So after a month of skiing Blackcomb Glacier, cycling the Village trails of Whistler, learning the addictive past-time of disc golf, camping in remote places like Tyax lodge in the Hurley Mountain Range and basking b...

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).

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. Hit up Garfinkel's for the first time and then backed up the next day for the Grand Opening of the Peak 2 Peak Gondola. 4.4km in 11 minutes across a 436m deep valley. Did it 3 times! It was trippy. 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...
