What a winter!!
As I could not ski last season because of a blown ACL and MCL, I certainly managed to make up for it this season.
I ended up working at night servicing skis and though the money was crap the hours were good and I skied some epic snow.
In fact I can honestly say I had THE best powder days of my life!!

With some shots from my Canon I entered the Anton 09 photo awards and won the prestigious "Action Shot" category.
Check out a few of my shots of the season.

Lloyd looking cool enough for me to take the WINNING shot and showing his parents why he was happy not working!!
So a big thanks goes to Lloyd who was there with me on the first lifts, Gene for the inspiration, plus Jacob and the sponsors for organising such a great event.
Here is to a summer of kayaking!!!
