Last Day(s) at Coronet Peak for 2009

So I got a leave pass.


Wicked.

Can you hear my tail thumping ? Yes I was excited.




Weather: overcast, intersprersed with cloud at the top of the chairlift.




Yes, a chairlift ride to the top of the hill.

I should mention a big UPS to Doug Hamilton for the one day pass that he gave me - cheers)


And I helped a guy called Grant who should not have been ridng down the DH track....he was walking a rock garden and fell over and is in hospital tonight with a broken leg. Bugger.

I was first on the scene, so went for help - fortunately only 4 corners from the top.

Then we helped him to the access road acting as crutches so he could give that bottle of antipain a good thrashing while been driven down the hill - Hope you're doing ok.




It was the usual who's who of local bike shop people later in the day......

Particular mention to Tony Moore who didn't need any encouragement to lead us off piste down some dodgy access road/ski run which was like ice and glue all the way to the bottom off the chair lift.




I called it a day after I think, 11 runs.




Best not to chance binning it on the last day of the season.....
