Runway Trip
Day 1
We are sitting on that oldschool chairlift in White Water BC, it sbouncing.. the slope is still untracked.. The fog is going up and thesun starts appearing behind the evergreens. The snow builds up on thetrees,, they are frozen.. everything is white and crutsy, humid,fresh tracks, pillows, cold and heartwarming. Runs in the trees allthe way to the road and hitchhike back to the lift. Small resort, 2lifts.This is how poetic the trip started.. and the crew made it all becomefunky and adventurous! Leanne Pelosi, Janna Meyen, Natasza Zureckand I are following Shandi Campos and Scott in the deepest of theirmountains..
Day 2
Crazy way up the hill this morning, cross avi passes.. hugeavalanches. Danger zone.The sleds go down, shandy saves us all.. I m on the radio.. I m soimportant with my radio!! Next one! Sweet and mellow Pillow lines.Nat let her sled go straight into a tree.. half of it just commits tosuicide.. the sled seems fine.. upper bowl I spit my lungs in thedeath zone. Cant see shit.. scared as hell..Adrenaline I love you, best drug ever. Scott shreds down that line Iwas way too scared to do on his noboard! That's the coolest thing bythe way!! No Boardng? Love it!Janna rips it on her sled!! She jumps even! Randy (Shandy's dog) runsfaster then any of us on the sleds.. and hangs with us all day upthere! Warm and sunny. Christy runs over that other dog. Bamboo ormeetball should we call it? The dog goes under the track of the sledsand gets spit out the other end. The dog seems to be used to it..We find sick cliffs and sweet pillow lines.. the snow is epic! On theride down a huge avalanche had crossed our track back.. our only wayout.. we had to dig our way through tons of heavy snow! Happy day.
Day 3
On the third day we found huge rocks pillows field! Messy day.. tiredday.. Janna is having enough fun for all of us! Huge airs out of thatone sick rock pillow.. me hungry, me grumpy when hungry.. me notfriendly when grumpy! Sorry..
Day 4
Janna is a sledneck, she went TTT (to the top) on her sled highmarking way better then any of the sled duds.. scott fs 360 on thatnatural hit in the middle of his line on a No Board! What?! All thegirls are killing it! We all stomped our cliff lines first track! Weare all done by noon and just have a good time. The dogs are heretoo, they are so cool.. they just run all the way up the tracks andhang out with us all day..lunar eclips and famly dinner.. good times..
Day 5
Tired.. sketchy avalanche area, no roping for the first time, it sreally like surfing on snow. WE are all quite tired, lucky thatNatasza is hard working for us all, and she didn't die on that firsttry. We watch and sit in the sun. move the sled to sun little bylittle as the shadow gets us.. wett boots tired back to our hobbithouses. Me tired, me even stop talking when tired. Good night. Theweek end approaches and it's time for us to rest before we keep onshooting.. That was an epic week and certainly the most productive ina long time..
