Last laps in NA before SA

Well the week has flown by and I am on my way to Toronto. I was planning on 4 days to bring me to 900 000 but I ended up loosing a bit of psyche and playing golf and going mountain biking. But then I toured a 15 000 foot day and a 12000 footer, which brought me to 880800. So I am 5 days behind and about to go 5 more into debt. All good though, because I will be in Las Trancas Chile by the 19th. How and why Las Trancas? Well I heard Craig Kelly used to go there,  he was an aquaintance and an amazing man. If he returned there a few years in a row then it should be decent. There are natural hotspings around, some you can ski tour to. Which, has been on my list of things to do for awhile, ski tour, shred some nice lines, drop into a hotspring, relax, and then ski home. There are a couple of volcanoes around and looks like a variety of terrain for me to play on. After a month we will most likely travel to another small town and explore some more.  I said, WE, because Tracey and the kids are coming with me. A family trip; with a small side mission to accomplish. But I have not seen enough of my kids for the last two months, and I recognize how integral they (&Tracey) are to my happiness, life is a bit empty without them.  Somehow Tracey is accommodating to my strange dreams, and is OK with this. I have updated greghill.ca, I was always frustrated by how my movies were not organized, now they  are organized into seasons and folders.  I like the new look. I am wondering about moving my blog to this same site, making it an "all inclusive" site. As long as I can keep the 4 years of blogging and information and transfer it all over; it may happen. As it stands this blog is a guide book of sorts to all the peaks I have skied over the years, type in a Selkirk mountain and you will probable get a photo and trip report, which can be pretty useful. All for now. Time to board my flight to Toronto.

Went to a Sox game the other night with my good pal, Alexandra. She bet me $20 that I couldn’t eat 7 Fenway Franks, and I happily obliged. Naturally, I ate the 7 wieners without even blinking, and after pocketing the $20 cash prize… I felt like a champion. It was a total win-win… I [...]

Red Bull Welcome Bobby Brown to the Family!

Jun 12th 2010 - 0 comments

Back in January, Bobby Brown pushed both himself and the sport of skiing to new heights when he took the gold in both Big Air and Slopestyle at Winter X Games 14 in Aspen. Bobby unveiled a switch double misty 1260 and switch double misty 1440 that, despite TJ Schiller's first ever in competition 1620, could just not be topped in the Big Air event.   Becoming the most talked about skier last winter, it was no surprise that Red Bull opened its arms to welcome Bobby to the family. We caught up with the 19-year-old Coloradoan a couple days ago at Mt. Hood and found out what he thinks wearing the Red Bull helmet, his late season injury and comeback, and what he's got up his sleeve for the future.      Bobby, let's start off by officially welcoming you to the Red Bull family.   Yeah, thanks. This has been a dream of mine for so long now and I worked so hard to get to the point where I was worthy of becoming a part of such a prestigious group of athletes. Being teammates with guys like Tanner Hall and Simon Dumont,that I've been looking up to for years, is indescribable.

Inner coach

Jun 12th 2010 - 0 comments

My inner coach is pushing me hard right now. I am hoping to be at 900 000 ft when I head to Chile, but it will require 4 more substantial days. The last two days I headed out to a nice 1400 foot creamy snow patch and pounded some laps, 12000 ft and then 13000ft today. Right now its simply about the vertical/physical challenge, not about exploration. But I must say I am delightfully surprised at how fun the skiing is, its not powder by any means but it is fast and carveable.
