Helmet Hair

Don't we look flash?! These are our new snowboarding helmets! Everyone wears them over here and people think you're queer if you don't - quite the opposite to NZ! Jesse had a really bad headache and sore neck a couple of weeks ago and the doctor thought that he may have had a concussion from skiing at Mt Baker, opps... So we thought we should really put 'safety first' and get helmets... Hot!

Mission Mt Baker!

The great thing about Van is that there are loads of ski resorts all pretty close. The mottley crew below (I work with Kim) invited us to go to Mt Baker in Washington State with them and of course we said YES!

This is possibly my favorite place is the US... Its a lot like the mountains at home in that its no where near as commercialised as Whistler and its bit more down to earth.
Apparently the weather can be a bit and hit and miss but as you can see we hit the jackpot!

Model at work again.
What a view ah?
We're off to Baker again next week for a friends birthday.

PS did I mention that you get to hit Duty Free in the way across the border? Score!

New Years in Whistler

We took off to Whistler the day after we got back from Vegas... A mission but SO worth it! We finally got to hit the snow which was a big thing that attracted us here. And what better place to do it than at Whistler.

This is Erin, an Aussie I work with who an awesome example of making the most of her season pass!

Gee my model gets around...
My model in action - that is him to the left.
This is the view from the top of 7th Heaven Chairlift - spectular ah. What a great place to propose!
Me and Jesse - about 2 minutes before he popped the question....
