Raakel's Pit on Final Ski Weekend at Big White


As usual, nothing but sunny skies and HOT weather for the final weekend at Big White. The skiing was spring skiing at it's best, with some slushy corn snow. It didn't stop the boys from getting a little crazy on the Cliff though.
We managed to stay up at the hill with Rob Nagy and Michelle. Partying the Friday down at Happy Valley, watching Paul Cotton win the film competition again for his new short called The B Squad.

Much of the weekend went like this - chilling out with friends in the Pit. The whole gang was there, so a good way to finish up my first season back at Big White - and Michelle's first. *Stub

Huge Back Flip by Spenny


Final weekend at Big White and I was sure glad I took my camera out for the day. I wasn't able to get crazy but the crew were 'going off' - hucking themselves off some big drops, and letting some huge tricks out. And there was carnage. This shot from below in the terrain park looked sweet, but the landing wasn't so great! Spencer McLennan, Mark Smeltzer and Jeremy Denman really performed for the camera and I nailed some sweet shots (check out more on Flickr). Getting ready for next years photo competition!!! *Stub
