Retallack B.C.
I just finished an amazing Oakley trip to Retallack, B.C. our crew consisted of Kye Peterson, Gretchen Bleiler, Sean & Callum Petit, Jake Blauvelt, Seth Morrison and a few others that take care of us at Oakley. We ended up having the greatest time with amazing snow and vibe that Retallack Lodge gave all of us during our stay.
I have never skied so much consistent powder in my life. The runs the guides took us on were super epic as well. Tree skiing at its finest, when you just follow the fall line down the mountain trying to find a clear line and thinking ahead consistently so you don’t hit a tree because you never want to stop.
Our infamous cat driver “Carl the Gnarl” is one of the greatest characters I have ever met. From screaming with excitement from the top of his lungs to the warm-cherished poetry he writes almost daily, he was a riot and made you so excited to go skiing.
Well, vacation time is over and it is off to the Dew Tour at Mt. Snow, Vermont. I am excited to see everyone and hit some jumps of course. This will be my first ski trip out East and I am really excited to see how it really compares to the “Ice Skiing” I have seen in Minnesota and Norway.
Just finished the best 3 days of pow skiing in my entire life. I have never experienced anything like that before. Still no good internet, I’m headed to Nelson, B.C. tonight and then flying back tomorrow. Oh, I hope everyone caught the Utes game the other day when they slammed Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, we da best now!
So I really want to update my blog with these amazing traveling photos, but I can’t because the internet is way to slow. I think it must be dial-up or somin. Anyways, I’m at this lodge in Retallack with the Oakley Team and we’re having a ball. We had our first ski day today. And you don’t even want to know how long it took my crew to get here. We left at 4:45 am on Jan. 1st and arrived at the lodge on Jan. 2nd at 8:30 am.
Golf? 
- I’m down in California right now celebrating the new year with my friends Chester, Lauren and Lyle. Tomorrow at 6:45 am I’m heading to B.C. to go cat skiing with the Oakley team.
Why Not!
