Ghoster Coaster

I have been wanting to climb with Brett for a long time, so when he suggested Ghoster Coaster, I was double stoked! I have wanted to try that route for a while. We invited a few extra people to join us, knowing quite well that it would make the day a bit more of a faff. In a surprising turn of events, we slept through our alarm and were awakened by a phone call from Charlie wondering where we were. As we scrambled to get out the door, the friends we had invited went ahead without us, and Alan had to meet everyone without us there. Despite oversleeping and my headache from a bit too much wine the night before, we arrived at the climb to find Charlie and Alan working on the first pitch of ice.

Christmas Day: Kyle and I spent the day alternating between family Christmas celebrations and frantically attempting to pack for our trip to the Bonningtons.

Fernie - Resort Pow

I don't normally post about resort days, but the two days we had in Fernie before Christmas were spectacular! The hill was empty, there was fresh snow every night and the sun came out. Merry Christmas indeed! There isn't much more to say other than I forgot how amazing the Volkl One's are in the resort. They were perfect for all the tight trees we found but still performed great in the chutes and deep open powder in the bowls. I am in love!

Welcome to Fernie - I haven't taken the Volkl One's out in a while!
