FRESHIES IN MY FUTURE
While streets, yards and sidewalks all over the South Coast of BC are being washed clean of the fluffy white stuff, there’s one place that the snow is definitely sticking. Despite a slight delay with the opening of the 2008/2009 ski and snowboard season, Mount Washington has been kicked into high gear with a base of over four feet of packed powder, with more fresh stuff falling every single day!

I’m sad to say I’ve yet to get up there this season, and my snowboard gear is currently collecting dust in my mom’s garage. Fear not, o’ my faithful readers, as yours truly will be strapping on her Forum board, grabbing Miss604 and hitting the slopes on Friday, February 6, 2009 (one month to the day!) for another installment of the Kokanee Day For Dudes [event page].
“Wait a minute – you’re not dudes!” you must be exclaiming. True, but the only thing better than snowboarding is snowboarding with eye candy. So for those of you gents wishing to experience my favourite mountain at a bargain price, head up. $62 will get you a full-day lift ticket, all-mountain ski or snowboard lesson, a Kokanee aprés event, prizes, entertainment and – of course – Kokanee girls! Look for us snowbunnies on the slopes…

Don’t worry…I’ve dusted, cleaned and waxed your board all ready for you…kidding.
LOL – When I saw that title I thought you were talking about “Freshie” the drink mix.
According to Wikipedia “Freshie was a Canadian drink mix that was a popular alternative to Kool-Aid in the domestic marketplace from the 1950s to the early 1980s.” … though, I clearly remember it from the late 80s and early 90s.
What? Am I the only one who remembers obscure things like that?
Does your flickr stream include that picture or that nasty mess that you made of your knee?
Crap – that should have said “of” your knee – I need another coffee
Don’t forget to bring your board back with you…
Your ‘Day for Dudes’ link got me wondering about other upcoming snowboard events. It turns out that the following weekend (Feb 13-15) is the LG Snowboard FIS World Cup up at Cypress. Should be a good opportunity to get in some turns after getting inspired by some the best riders in the world.
