i have a few loves in my life.
i love to write. i have loved putting one word after another since i could make words. i've been keeping a personal blog since may 2010 to flesh out my experiences, namely moving away from australia to live in Whistler, BC.
i love winter. odd for an aussie girl, but i've never been that comfortable in the heat. winter makes sense to me, settles me, gives me slow calm breaths to breathe.
i love riding. i learned last season (09/10) and by this time, the end of the 10/11 season, i am besotted with it. far beyond the first flutterings of lust, i am in love with the snow beneath my trusty 09/10 salomon 'lily'. i'd be the first to admit there is a lot about the mountains here that i do not know and have not seen, but i'm comitted to learning my way round now. me and whistler mountain are pretty serious, whereas me and blackcomb are still a little shy around each other. so i guess this means i have to do another season. or two.
i love mountains. they feel like home.
so those are my loves, as well as my life here with all the other ski-bums dedicating themselves to lives of minimum wage jobs in the name of seeking out powder, fresh lines and glorious tree runs... we have fun, we laugh lots, we tell tales of our epic days...
i've decided to start this blog about Whistler as a challenge to myself to start writing a little more professionally. i would love to be considered by WhistlerBlackcomb as a blogger for the 2011/2012 season.
so here i am, working on my portfolio. for now i'm going to run with the rest of the spring riding i'll be sneaking in, and in the middle of summer i'll do my best to capture warm sunny Whistler in all its glory... with, let's face it, reflection upon the past and future winter seasons.
suggestions and feedback are welcomed, in fact requested, as well as contributions of photographs if you have anything epic... i will hopefully start collecting some photos of my own.
below i've re-posted my mountain-related posts from the blog i've kept the past year.
thank you all for reading.
