I fucking LOVE it here. The people are nice and rush hour is like Saturday driving In Toronto. I could seriously get used to this. Don't worry Kimmy, i'm coming home. But for how long? Lol.
So I woke up nice and early around 6:45 and Uncle Steve was up and we made tea and breakfast. Hmm. Tea would make this posting experience a little less tedious. Tea and some dishes done and I'm ready to write. Here we go!
So since I was headed to grouse and steve was going to work, he dropped me and my board bag off at the sea bus. The seabus is awesome. Going across the burrard inlet was so cool, you can see the city behind you and north van and mountains ahead. So cool. So then I got on the 236 bus that takes you to capilano and grouse. I will be revisiting this bus on Monday as I plan to do the suspension bridge then. The weather says it should be a decent day. So I got off the bus and grouse doesn't give a CASI discount. $65 later and I'm on the skyride gondola going up the mountain to the hills. That gondola in itself was a most excellent experience. I do have pictures from it, but I will have to post them when I get home as they're on my camera. You see the whole city from up there and the peaks of the lions which is ultimately so awesome. I checked my board bag after I got ready and I was out! There are a couple of nice groomers and quite a few ungroomed runs. I decided to take it easy and stick to the groomers mostly for my first day out on the snow in the mountains. Wise decision though because I'm a little sore this morning! I rode a variety of runs and had a most excellent time. Went in for lunch and had the healthiest looking thing on the menu, which was the chili and it was the special. It was pretty damn tasty. Went back out in the afternoon and decided to hit an ungroomed run and sank a few times as the snow was so deep! I never has as much fun falling than I did yesterday. But the falling let to my phone getting disputed from my pocket and I'm pretty sure it fell out in a lift line when I was clearly snow put of my jacket and pantalons. So I was a little choked when I realized it was missing so I took the run again, fell a few more extra fun times and didn't find it. Hoped I was smart and left it in my bag, but no. So I called and blocked it. Went back out to ride cuz there was no use in leaving I was having so much fun! This is where I meet Jon and his coworkers on the hill. Extremely nice guys and they are in the action sports industry. Jon gave me his number which I plan on using, as he said he'd take me to the billabong party in whistler! Yeehaw! Sick! Rode with those guys for awhile and then when they left I got ready to leave too. I went to get my bag and the girl behind the desk said someone just returned my phone!! Fucking eh! People here are awesome. Had a half hour ordeal trying to get it turned back on, but then was on my way back to the city as my friend Dave said he'd make me dinner! Score! It was great seeing him again. We have plans to do the stanley park seawall next week and go to cypress as he got us passes from his work. Most excellent! Somewhere between tuesday and thursday next week. I left my board bag with him as I'll be riding next at cypress with him, and there was no point in lugging it all the way back to Richmond from kitsilano. Today I'm gonna chill, maybe check out a mall, grab some snacks for next week.
I know I've only been here for like 2 days but so far it's amazing and I'm so glad I planned this trip. If anyone who reads this has never been out here I thoroughly recommend coming.
Love and hugs!
