Hitting the Slopes

Last night, Chris and I got invited to go skiing/boarding up at Cypress Mountain with my brother Dave, his girlfriend Lorraine and a couple of their friends. We got a chance to get up to Blackcomb over the holidays and it was awesome.....soo much snow and powder!!! This time we figure it'd be a fun chance to get up to our local mountain and with all the snow we've been getting we thought it would be good. Plus how can you say no to free!! When we got there it wasn't as busy as I expected it to be. Acutally not too many people were around, which was nice cause then you don't have to wait for long lines at the lifts. After doing a few runs with Dave and his friends, Chris and I went our seperate ways and did the last couple of hours on the other side of the mountain. As much as I love being around friends and family, its nice to have the alone time with just the two of us. Chris is very helpful, encouraging and patient when I'm snowboarding....happy to say that I'm getting a lot better. Only wiped once.....and I can now carve on both sides hehe. It felt nice to be outside in the fresh air and my body will probably hate me tomorrow for it. Cypress has some good snow not as great as Blackcomb but we both had a good time. Thats about it....enjoy some of our pictures =D

Here's the view of the slopes from our chair

Close up of our noses.....it was COLD hehe
