Welcome to Vernon, BC folks. Matt & I left on Monday and headed to Calgary where we met up with my friend Nora, who is super sweet. We enjoyed a few bottles of wine and then we were off to Sunshine Village in the morning. Sunshine was unreal, it snowed the whole time we were there and Matt and I managed to get pretty stuck in spots that were waist deep. Overall fun day, but there’s only one picture of matt from the end of the day since I forgot my camera in the car that morning.
After that we headed for Vernon, we made a few stops along the way… We stopped in Revelstoke for some food and a stretch (it’s a 6 hour drive from calgary!) Then we continued on our way and stopped at a small town bar called “The Burner” on the #1 between Vernon and Sicamous. It was a pretty cool little place. It was decorated with old logging saws and like giant 4 foot chain saws. Pretty intense decorating, but everyone there was really nice and it was worth stopping. The sign is ghetto and it made me think twice about stopping when we pulled up but it was all good once you got inside!
After that we headed to Vernon and unpacked and met our “upstairs roomie” a pretty sweet guy from Ontario named Jeff. He’s still waiting for the rest of his roommates to show up too. We were in Vernon for like 2 hours before Matt’s Kelowna friends called and we were off to session a pvc pipe on the other side of Vernon. Pretty sweet setup overall… I crashed lots and got some pretty sweet hip bruises. After that we basically just spent the next couple of days riding big white and having drinks with some new friends. (ps I wrote this on monday but didn’t get it posted until today!) We got some really foggy snowy days and then on tuesday it was crazy foggy and then just BAM it switched to bluebird and was the best riding I’ve gotten yet!
