Top 10 of 2011
Because of this numerical switcheroo we call New Years, I figured I'd give the kids a challenge and ask them to give me their Top Ten List for WH20 2011. And while they scrambled to fit it in between playing with new Christmas toys and shredding the gnar, I was able to extract a hierarchy of memorable moments and experiences (I was only able to get nine out of the eight-year-old, but hey, I tried). Here they are:
13-year-old
10. Skiing powder with friends
9. My first days touring
8. Hot tubs after shredding
7. Waking up early for first chair
6. My first ever run down the Glory side
5. The setting
4. The touring
3. The terrain
2. The endless fresh tracks
1. The spirit
The 8-year-old
9. The first time trying Whitewater fries with gravy
8. First time on Glory Chair
7. First time on Glory Chair (guess he liked it)
6. The dummy downhill
5. Best ski day ever on Christmas eve going down Terra Ratta
4. My first time in Catch Basin
3. My uncle (Uncle James) came to Nelson and there was four feet of snow, A.K.A. Powder Dump!
