weeeeeekkkeeenndd

Saturday was a really relaxing day. i went and talked to Ian (my new boss) signed all my forms and saw all the shops i will be working at. its all very interesting. we hung out for about 4 hours and really had a good chat about just about everything
saturday night me and a friend slept at emilies house. This night had snow removal on my street but the OPPOSTE side of the street this time. so parking at her place was wayyyy easier. And the couch was soooooo comfy pretty awesome . watched step brothers before i slept and caught up on some emails. cant go wrong.
Sunday morning we woke up at 530 to go to the land of the free. thats right . canada. BUT THEN we went to USA vermont . I just got my first passport last friday . a little nervous using it for the first time. BUT all was well. we got across with little hassle. Stopped at a gas station where i pulled out some american money for some breakfast and lift ticket. Not realizing emilie had already bought us tickets NOW IM STUCK WTIH 80 F***ING AMERICAN DOLLARS.. not impressed. (by the end of the trip i convinced both of my friends to take the american money at par. such good friends ..the dollar is even RIGHT….not to convert it . )

The hill we went to was Jay Peak. this mountain gets more snow than montreal due to a phenomenon known as the "jay cloud" or as you know it "the snow belt" like in barrie but wayyyy cooler. well saturday night when i went to emilies the snow was epic. so much snow we had to dig out the car in the morning. we left early knowing that the jay cloud would provide much more snow… two ays earlier what i thought was the best day for snowboarding was destroyed by the riding we did at jay peak. knee deep powder. a couple times found it up to my waist. never saw the back of my snow board all day.. This mountain is even bigger than Bromont t. The pass is not a lift ticket other its a little cardthat you put in your pants/jacket/ mits When you go to the chairlift you pass through a gate. your pass has a magnetic chip that can only be activated for a certain amount of time. when you get to the gate it senses that you have a ticket and opens a bar so you can enter the lift area. then you wait to load on. honestly. crazy . Never knew these kind of shenanigans were going on task hills.

So we did a lot of forest runs. i got some deep fresh powder runs, got stuck in some tree wells. left the boundary. hiked in the boundary to the peak . so much snow. epic.
The east coast DOES have mountains. they may be old. they may be few. but they are VERY VERY there. and they are very serious. with the height they are at now. i would love to see what they used to be.
