Stevens Pass- Car Accident

Last weekend i got a ride up to the mountain from Avery. On the way there when we were about 10 minutes away. There was this guge car crash. it backed the highwday all the way down almost back to the closest city. We were stuck near the end and were wondering what happened so we debated to get out and check it out. We got out of the car and started walking. It was about a mile to the car accident. As we were walking we saw other people getting out to check it out to. Then we were getting out to check it out to. Then we were getting close there was a ring of people around the accident. We had to go up on the snowbank just to check it out. There was a truck flipped on its side with a huge dent in it. Then the other car got smashed togethter like a slinkie. The car was completely shrunk up. There was a guy in the car with his arm twitching. The cop told us to head back to the cars shortly after.

Whistler

When Patrick and I went to WHistler we saw tight stuff. As we were waiting to take the Pead Chair it just shut down. Wi were forced to wait but I saw the trippiest looking snowboard. The board was shaped like a beer bottle. Before I had a chance to ask him where he got it the chair started moving. Once reaching the top we saw this funny sighn that said danger , extreme contions, avalanchge threat and all this other stuff that basically said your gonn die. We found it so funny though because it really wasn't that extreme. After pictures next to the sighn we dicided to do one of the longest runs on Whistler Peak to Creek. We figured it was a good opppurunity to get some filming done. When we were about half way down in a double black section of the run, we saw this huge twenty foot tree hanging out over the run. Then this guy went full tilt up on the ridge grinded it and dropped the 20-25 feet drop back on the run. It was amazing.
