So I went there for the experience and man did I get it!

For now I’m in Banff, Alberta doing some filming with the Rudeboys for shtchea.com  on Lake Lousie and Sunshine. So many fun times to be had!

Then I have the Billabong Flaunt It rail jam and slopestyle this weekend so looking forward to that! =)


Jib lap from today…

Borrowing a friend of a friends board (-thanks Meg and Trevor!!!)

Re-building my confidence after my wee spill I had yesterday. Managed to concuss myself and totalled my board…BUT today was funnnn.

Enjoy!!

CP


Made it through to semis complete with a broken board and concussion…

Had the Canadian Open slope style qualifiers today and all three Kiwi’s made the top 5 cut off out of 31 girls! NZ represent!!! 

My first comp on the international scene and I was first to drop…sweet. Nervous much??!

Luckily I stomped my first run as the second run I ate shitttt on the last jump snapping the nose of my board and hitting my head…Not ideal.

All in all it was a fun day and stoked we all got through! Will be keeping it pretty mellow in the semis if I do choose to ride depending on the head and/or if I find a board to ride! Hahaha.

Canadian Burton Open practice done and dusted…

Chew getting it done in practice at the Canadian Burton Open today in Calgary, Alberta.

 

 

 

Today was super fun, the wind picked up in the arvo which made the jumps challenging but it is what it is!

Tomorrow is qualifiers, will keep you posted!

 


Getting some turns in….

We have finally been getting some new snow lately!

So… naturally, we went and took some turns! FUN.


Loitering at Powdertools

Procrastinating about going to the gym. Especially when I can kick it with Dustin instead!

Getting some jump action…

The ladies…. =)

Off to Canada on Monday for the Canadian Burton Open… Wish me luck!
