Another Greyhound trip at 5:15 am.
Friday was pretty good snow, sunny pretty much all day.
Did not do bowl sessions Friday. Can't remember

[remembered 10:08pm]Thighs killed me all day, especially the right one. Note not to ever do power squats the week before a whistler weekend.
Tried jumps and jammed right thumb, not sure how.
Cant remember runs I did mostly this day. I did take prob 12 jumps at least tho.

Today was 17cm of snow prior. Sun was in and out all day which was interesting.
Cold on the lifts at the top. I've determined overdressing makes me sweat which gets cold.
Tried some jumps but were weak. Snow slowed me down and couldn't get speed right. Still weak off jumps and landing.

My trees are good, my regular stance turning is getting better. I didn't spend time too much on goofy today. I'm not used to sitting on back left leg on goofy and that is needed in deeper snow.

I did at least 4 good bowl runs today.
I did my first run down whistler bowl and saved a guys runaway ski. It was hilarious.
My final run of the day was the fastest, prob went down entire hill in 10 minutes.
I should do that more often, good workout. Long run. Prob better in the morning when snow is not cutup.

Saw random birds land on skiers ski poles as they held them over their heads.
Snow was coming down and it was sunny, wish I had a video. Wish blackberry wasn't such a pain in the ass to get our of pocket.

Need a way to integrate gopro with in helmet display. (tangent)

I bailed backwards directly under the lift and got directly back up almost like I just did a flip, on purpose but not really.
