I Can Smell The Flakyness
November 5th, 2009
By Zeady
It's November around the world and only in southern Ontario is there no fucking snow It's November 21st and last year at this time I was already skiing. The boys and I have waxed our skis and boards about 5 times each so far, and still no sign of the great white one in the sky shitting on us any time in this week. Killington Vermont opened this weekend and we were actually thinking of missioning down to the VT for some fuckin' snow but not for early season conditions the mission down to the VT will come eventually but we'll save that for January. For now we wait but there will be a nice little jib sesh goin on in my home town of Newmarket.
So needless to say we're finding ways to keep the stoke alive over the off season. Cleanin the room the other day and on the list of shit to do is now keeping my ski gear ready to go just incase the great white one decides to dump on us over night and I have to call in to work for the first time of many to come with strept throat, bronchidis, malaria, swine flu,
sars or what ever reason I need to use to get me away from what the rest of the world refers to as the real world. When we all know that the only thing truelly real to any of us is dropping an absolutely dirty line is some clean untouched fresh overnight dumping of 8".
E-mail me with however you're keeping your stoke alive over
the off season or if your season has already started hit me up
with some videos and pics or stories about your recent sesh.
Taste the Rainbow,
Zeady.
I'm a Ski Bumb

You know your a Ski Bumb when during the off season you shop around for new jackets snow pants and skis even if theyre way beyond your budget. The other day I was checkin these dope lookin Salomon Lords. And I was just inlove I saw them and like my jacket that I bought a few weeks ago.
I just had to have it. Yeeah. Well I bought the jacket within like 5 minutes of seeing it and now I'm just drooling over these skis that are a must have for this season. I have all my skis waxed and ready for what ever conditions mother nature throws at us this year. I got my big old (illegal) 186 race tigers that I got off of a member of the US ski team for 200 bucks last year and raced on all last year. I used those skis when I hit up gore for the first time and re-set all of the nastar record on both courses and when not encourse I was usin people as living moving gates it was pretty harsh at like 10 when all the lazy tourists finally got onto the hill and it was a fuckin zoo. I stayed out during lunch and just ripped that shit up like ticket clipping speed like small dip in slope and catchin like 20-30 ft distance of air kinda deal.
Theres a reason they only make certain skis for certain people, CAUSE DEY FUCKIN AWESOME. And then it dumped on us hard core over night with like a foot-and-a-half of solid prestine pow so we hit it mad early and I busted out my trouble makers that day found some dope lines on some stupid steezilly steep shit and just killed it. but yeah so all summer I've been re watching mad warren miller dvd's and shit and I've just been dying to go skiing again. today i got home and threw on my ski boots just to walk around the house in them still love my foils, but the hard wood floors didn't.
I'm working on my bro tilt to get my goggle tan started early and I'm going to bed ( my sleeping bag diff story) with my pre ski toque on that i chill with when a helmet isn't a nessy so yeah about that sleeping bag yeha I don't know why but i didn't get my camping fix this year so I've just been sleeping on my bed in my sleeping bag don't ask it just reminds me of over crowded hotel rooms and there vast floor space that I've slept on. I've been feindin for some of that crisp white powder and i aint talkin bout that shit you get from julio down at queen and jarvis. im talkin bout the white
Keep the stoke alive,
