Sun Peaks - BC

Its a long way to BC, but when you get there, its worth the 10 hour flight, short connection, dead legs and jet lag. If you fly at lunch time, you are treated to an 8 hour sunset.
There was steep stuff, mellow stuff, closed in tree runs, and wide open pistes, and plenty of sweet sweet powder. Local hero Chris Sladden, and Will Laws contemplate "Freddy's Nightmare"."Do you guys like tree skiing?" "Yeah....?" "Right, you gotta check out this glade, go to......"
A tip-off from one of the liftys, and we had our own glade to play in. Not too steep, but super tight in places, and with some tasty lines and drops.

Christmas day was clear and sunny, so another run through the glade, and a few hits on the last drop were in order...
...before hitting the terrain park one last time. Will Laws on the slopey up box jobbie, before getting back on a small plane with small seats, and then a larger plane with smaller seats, and snoring loudly throughout.
