Way to go Matt!

Even though Matt did not make the podium this time around, he certainly made us proud! We had a GREAT time out here today in support of Matt's Olympic debut! I would like to thank everyone who played a role in pulling this off but the main credit needs to go to Teresa McKenna who was the driving force behind today's RED, WHITE and GOLD Celebration!


The house was packed with excited fans!




Mayor Abernethy joined us today, He and president Chris Davies cheered Matt on together.


Frieda C. tends to the art table.

Believe it or not we got MORE NATURAL SNOW this morning! 3"-4" inches of WHITE GOLD landed on our slopes, adding to our already superb conditions!
After tonight's grooming, the conditions will be just AWESOME for tomorrow.

Cheers,

POW....

Ma Nature gave us a BOOST again last night with a whack of POWDER SNOW! The snow was delivered via high winds which created some pretty decent sized drifts that we had no choice but to groom out...but hey, it was all natural powder.



Kyle was having a GREAT day...


Lot's of little folks were cruising around...



Tomorrow is the BIG DAY! Our RED, WHITE and GOLD! CELEBRATION promises to be a lot of fun! Preparations have been going on all day here at Brimacombe, from decorating to finalizing some of the AV needs we're pumped to cheer on Matt Morison as he makes his Olympic debut tomorrow in Vancouver! Special thanks to Teresa McKenna, Doug Barlow and Laura Blaker for putting in so much time and effort to make this event a reality!

SNOW FALL!

Not that we don't already have TONS of great snow on the slopes here at Brimacombe....but it was exciting all the same to wake up to about 5cm of FRESH NATURAL SNOW this morning!

Sometimes it's hard to capture an image that best represents the amount of snow we received...hopefully these two will do.

Slope and STYLE

We had a lot of fun out here at the Brim today!

Retro day was RADICAL! A ton of people dressed the part by pulling their old attire out of the depths of their closets...or visiting the thrift stores. It must be a sign that I'm starting to age...I remember when the majority of this "retro" clothing was in style. :)
Our Annual slopestyle competition drew a large crowd as well. The competitors put on a fabulous show of talent for the judges and spectators.

Only pictures can tell today's story...so here they are.

Punk rocker!

Shock rocker

The MIGHTY Mullet!

Kelly is glowing....

Reiner Red...who remembers these days of the Ski Patrol?

Ryan was digging in his DAD'S closet for this one...

Andrew M. was just a little too comfortable in his costume today.

RACE DAY on T-bar 2!

Mac Attack, Alice Cooper and Work Out Wendy...

Louis B. on his 215cm "retro" telemark skis

Doug B. dressed to impress!


Following in his father's footsteps...Brandon fits Terry's old liftee coveralls just fine!


From RETRO style...to SLOPESTYLE, here's some action shots of today's event.






















Join us tomorrow for...

Another day in Paradise.
Cheers,
Mark
