The Chronicles of Gene

This one will be short and sweet, but it's simple I love where I live. Kelowna, BC is the place to be living, the beautiful Okanagan. The springs are great, the summers are full of activities and sun, fall is warm and winter is what winter is suppose to be... full of snow.

On Sunday I got the chance to sneak up to Big White for 3.5 hours of snowboarding, and damn were the conditions awesome. There is still over 250 cm base, fresh powder and all the sun and blue sky I could handle. Was just what the doctor ordered, me, my iPod and my board. It was my second time going up solo and just like the first I had a total blast. Something about shredding down the hill while listening to tunes was zen like. I wasn't over thinking boarding I was just boarding and as a result it was some of my best to date. I was burning through the moguls with no problem, usually they spank me if I attempt then with some speed. I was going faster then I've gone before, getting air of the rollers was awesome and a first. Tried the T-Bar for the first time ever and was disappointed I had done it sooner. Some of the funnest riding was between the tree tops up there, great snow lots of variety, it was just the kind of conditions a young man dreams about. I got smart and brought my camera this time as there is always some point in the day I wish I had it with me, and Sunday was no different.

Here's a few of my shots of the day.
