The Ski Season Started Early - My first turns of 2024!

The recent storm in the West missed Whistler Blackcomb but 30cm of glorious fresh fell in Vancouver's North Shore. I busted my balls too Cypress and climbed up Strachan before it melted. This is the earliest I’ve ever been on my skis in my life and I couldn’t be more stoked to be skiing again in the sea to sky. Honestly, I am shocked with how good the turns actually were. I somehow managed to ski a few hundred metres of untouched pow. I can't believe it's October. Sorry ski bases, it was worth it!
