Still Whistlin'

The Blackcomb Base; Hansi representing Atagge   
Two Gipsies on their way ...
... to get some fun
Serious sending all week long; Hansi's Method
Serious jibbing; guess the maneuver
The Park Base with its atmosphere... 
... and its view
Some frontboardin' by Hansi

Our 'dry-station'
It's been a good week, with a lot of sun and fun fun fun. Some noses are brown now, some turned red, and we can't get enough ...

Whistler and more

It's been a while since the last post and a couple of things happened over here. I'll start with some scenery shots by Moritz.

Sunset from Parking Lot 8 ...
... and the night sky afterwards.
Last sunday, Robin came to Whistler and brought Fabi along. We teamed up and decided to go on an adventure to some natural hot springs behind Pemberton. That's how the road looked like for over 40 kilometres.
After a 20 minutes hike down to the river ... 
... we enjoyed the hot springs. Robin, Fabi, me and Alex (from back to front). Thanks to Moritz for this snapshot.

The next day, Alexis and Moritz left for Tofino. I drove down to Vancouver, picked up Vroni at Horseshoe Bay ... 
... and finally Hansi at the airport. We drove up to Squamish where Robin and Fabi awaited us with a little bonfire.
The next day started with an amazing breakfast at the same spot where we had the bonfire the other night. Thanks again for scouting this amazing spot! 
We had pretty good days in the Blackcomb park already (as you can see Hansi's nose got some sun). Yesterday, we discovered our new favourite leftover snack ('Milchreis für Arme') and today we practiced eating synchronously.

Whistler pt. I


Two days ago, I spent three
hours inside the Whistler Health Care Center to hold Moritz's hand. He hurt his thumb ("skiers' thumb") but apparently, it doesn't stop him having fun all day long.
Alexis sent this FS 3 a bit too far yesterday. He ended up with a broken finger, but still we are having tons of fun up there.
It's spring-time up on the Blackcomb and we are enjoying it!
