Yes I am still alive out here, just been way too tired to update this the past few days.
Today seemed like it was going to be another crappy day weather wise but right at the peak it turned out to be amazing. Crazy clouds and awesome snow. Its hard to believe this has been my office and playground for the past month. Love it.

Quickie.
Just a mellow late night update.
Whistler is fun, the weather has been amazing (still) and the riding has been super fun. The early mornings have been taking a tole on my body though. The past couple days I have been feeling really tired and sore. I wouldn't mind having a day or two to at least sleep in till 9 or so, but I guess thats what my Saturdays are for.
Not to mention that I really miss everyone from home that doesn't help much. There are a lot of people I miss back home, my mom, dad, chris, kait, smolik the list goes on. Don't get me wrong I love all my friends out here but I just miss Ontario.
I'm not sure what it is but there seems to be an ever growing negative vibe in this town (once again, not saying I am not having a good time out here). More and more people seem to have fallen into the cocky rockstar/attention seeking pro loving hypocrites that they once hated. What ever happened to the inocent, fun loving, care free riding from back home? I fear it may be dead.
Now its all about shots shots shots shots, hating, and more shots. Does anyone even care about the fun anymore?
Anyways I need to rest. To all the Ontario family and friends, I miss and love you dearly, and hope to see you very soon.

Late, Late Update.
Sorry for the MIA status the past few days, but I have been very busy. Camp is super fun and the weather is finally starting to turn for the better. Bluebird and warm is in the forecast for the next week so it should and epic week. Last week the weather wasn't too good so it wasn't the best week. But now that we have had a few nice days behind us, its noting but smooth sailing for the next week.
I miss home a lot, and miss the people at home even more, but I am also having a blast with all my west coast friends.
Enough babbling, on the with the images.
Just a little homie chilling under the chair on the way up.
The daily view of mine.
Once again, a daily view.

On Hill-Day one.
So today was the first day of actually working on hill at COC. Here are some images from today.
This is the view I had from the very top entrance to COC. It snowed ALL day long and was quite miserable, but still very fun!

Day Three - Orentation.
Today was pretty mellow again, most of the day was full of orientation for camp. Followed up by a pretty good dinner at 21 steps. Rode my bike a bunch today as well, super fun around here. Just a short update today, on hill tomorrow and really excited for it. More updates and pictures coming tomorrow.

Mellow Day Number Two.
Just had a mellow chill out day around the village to get used to the time change and see some homies.
Ate some dinner at Mongolie Grill tonight because it was the last half off price night. Absolutely delicious to say the least.
Best meal I have had in Whistler ever. Period
Such an amazing set up.

Arrival.
Just some images and events from my arrival to Van and the trip up to Whis plus the first night in town.
BrockleCHE! hitching a ride with us back from Van.
I thought this was kinda funny.
This vest and pant combo outfit was amazing.

All is well.
My flight went well and even arrived early. Hung out with the homies brody and colin d watt in Vancouver for the day before heading up to whis. Had a few adventures along the way. Ended up going out tonight to celebrate my return, and like always 6137 was bumpin'! Lots of cool people, a few ladies (not to mention a few whores giving me "the eyes", that I easily fended off with complete lack of interest in that shit). Besides, I miss someone a bit too much to be getting into that shit anyways.
Anyways, more info and pics coming tomorrow!

Here we go...
...well, here I go that is. Last week I received a call from Brody and Colin D Watt offering me a volunteer security job at COC. It was super last minute and they needed to know if I wanted it ASAP. After thinking about it for an hour or so I was down for it. 4 weeks of riding COC for free with all the BC homies? I fucking think so!
So I booked my flight, quit my job, packed my shit (bike included) and am off to Whistler tomorrow morning. I resurrected my old GEEZUS blogger so I could provide everyone with day to day pictures, stories and other shit that is going to be going on for the next month. Check back daily for updates.
