Playground number three has now been cracked. The new road that goes about a kilometer along Brew Ridge was explored on the first day of 2008 and "WOW!" was everyones response. The runs are about 1200 vertical feet of sheer fantastic-ness. (Yes, that is a made up word) In a cat full of old friends we dropped into parts unknown. Dano Pendygrasse a senior photographer for Future Snowboarding Magazine named the first area as he dropped in saying Ready Set Go! So Ready, Set, Go! it is. 800 vertical of epic old growth and then about 400 or so of perfect open fields of powder with little trees to roop around. We dropped run after run and everyone was better than the one before. One was named Smurfland. The bottom of Smurfland became Gargamels when we had a 400 vert of the most amazingly tight trees I've almost ever been through. So tight we spotted a Sasquatch. So no we won't be skiing Smurfland again. At least for 15 years anyway. That's when it's slated to be harvested. So in 15 years get ready to ride Smurfland. Till then... Ready - Set - Go!
