Hero snow today. It was warm (raining in village) and then cooled overnight while dumping a decent amount. Up high there's a thick layer of cream with no hitting through to the crust underneath. You can lay out big GS turns with no fear. I had a whole bowl mostly to myself with an entry that deterre...

Warm here today too but we're supposed to get a 15cm top-up tonight.

Boa are great for bike shoes.

I spend as much time off piste as I can. Even if the snow sucks I vastly prefer it. If I'm on a run I pretty much don't turn and just try to get from A to B as fast as possible. My equipment reflects that.

Not that I'm recommending a dedicated powder board, just saying.

5 hours of boot to shin deep today. Good fun but the body will tell the story tomorrow. It's hard to go from zero to flat out. Back already sore.

I am a longboarder ...

I think TOTY needs a recount.

Insta has Whistler gondola lines. I would just go home.

Saw that.

In other snow news I sent Mrs PeepeelaPew a Reuters article about a gondola line nearby hit by a tree that caused the cabin to fall. Danish family inside suffered serious injuries.

Well surfing often hides the pain. I've had numerous things that hurt later but not during, because of the single-minded focus required.

Glad you're ok, hopefully.

My mum made me get my SLSC if I wanted to go surfing by myself.

So did mine. So I'd leave the house with my clubbie hat and Speedos and foamie and just walk straight past the clubbies to the reef bordering the beach and spend the time surfing instead.

One of the longest continuous lines I've ever seen

Sounds spot on, based on foamy's list. Interesting that they haven't updated their Surfline Company page- with Kyle Laughlin still listed as CEO. Kyle was ex Amazon where he worked for Alexa and ex Disney, where he was most noted for work on the Muppets. ... New CEO is Ross Garret, who is classic Or...

It's more about detailing the big tech players (former execs of Amazon and Apple) and American venture capital behind Surfline and Caroll, and the ethics of writing puff pieces while siblings are involved in local real estate deals. Whole different kettle of fish compared to an Australian owned and...

Ordered a Barryvox S to replace my Pieps DSP Pro. I read some stuff that said they have issues and this is kind of a straw / camel thing after using Pieps for 30 fcuking years. Barryvox was 20% off. Ordered an Alpride SuperCap33 E2, 10% off. Unfortunately it'll be too difficult to claim VAT on eithe...

Nick wouldn't have written the article if he'd known it'd jeopardise the jackhammering.

Man they were ugly
