Absolutely been a blast, driving from L.A. to Vegas proved to be a challenge, if nothing but from the traffic along the freeways.

Flight from vegas to vancouver went well after an absolute shitfight getting checked ONTO our flight, fighting with dumbarses who were in the wrong line (and insisting we were in the wrong line).

Now were here, aside from the often rainyness in the local village, its been fantastic here. Went skiing all yesterday, was great, but god my feet hurt. Something to do with the slightly too small shoes i guess :$.

Anyway did sweet f/a today (which was fine as it was pissing wet in the village here, despite snowing heaps up the slopes), and hopefully am back out there tomorrow and carving it up!

More pics to follow once i get to a net cafe that lets me frig about with the USB ports on their pc.

Well i'll keep the request in mind for neka, but i suspect my mrs will respond with an almightly "he can get f**ed, no way.".

Will put more pics up soon, but im still at that usb-less netcafe.

I tells ya though, thredbo & perisher look like a pile of shaved ice compared to a) how HUGE this place is and b) the quality and quantity of the snow here.
Had the most fantastic run on the ski slopes, the fun part is decyphering their green/blue/black ratings as a lot of their "piss easy" green runs are bordering on mid-range blues back in oz. Taking a blue here is one helluva challenge, esp as my left ankle seems to be giving me a hard time from a few dumba$$ falls i made recently.

Definately going to be discussing making a return trip to canada in the next 24 months...... i hope.

hell yes smitty, if not to here, then it'll be the NZ slopes next year. It's a shame we'll be leaving here tomorrow as it's an absolutely fantastic place, definately my favourite part of our trip thus far.

It's a small world, Tony was on the same flight back to oz as us. All i can say is thank christ im out of the airport, getting through sydney's quarantine services on the way back was the second worst experience we had on our trip. Closely following that which we had in just trying to get onto our goddamned plane in vegas.
