April Pemberton Flying

Fantastic views over snow and glaciers and mountain ranges for the first flight of the year in Pemberton and very nice conditions! But it was so cold up high I had to turn around at North Creek. 84 km out and return. Flight track in XContest here. Pretty fast flight too, 27 km/h.

Nicole ahead of me at North Creek.

Cypress Skiing

After the hill closed I get first tracks on corduroy but I had to work for it! Coverage on Colins and Panorama was surprisingly good (only a couple of thin spots at the bottom) despite only 50% snowpack this year (April 16th). I made good use of my season pass, with 22 days (half-days) of downhill, almost 300 runs and 15 cross country sessions (short ones only... I find skating rather exhausting and the longest I skated this year was 2 hours).

Flying the Back of Benny

Fantastic day yesterday at Benny. First time for me to venture into tiger (or bear?) country north of Mount St Benedict. Also never before done that many spirals and big ear/speed bar on one flight (to avoid airspace... apparently it worked... max altitude 1980m). Nice flying first with Nicole, KVA and Rod and on the way back I joined up with Pete. Lots of other amazing flights too!

My 50 km triangle

A lot of tracks all over. Hammertag as they would say in the Alps!
