Expedition Halifax 2007

Cause isn't this the place where all extreme skiiers flock??
Well, at least Amy (my roommate and expedition partner) and I did...

We departed from the White House, our new Halifax ski-in ski-out Chalet on a sunny Sunday morning after celebrating Amy's birthday over brunch. The expedition team (Amy and I) first had a few warm up laps around the Halifax common (watch out for those baseball diamonds and pavement walking paths!) to prep for our next undertaking: Halifax's landmark, the Citadel. Dum, dum, dummmmm!




















Amy was joking that although the avalance hazard is nil, the traffic is a little daunting at the 6 way intersection, but team Halifax Extreme prevailed and we made it across to the Citadel.

After seeking out maximum vertical and snowback (about 1cm in the best of times), Amy hit the slope like a pro, with years of experience as a ski instructor in the Rockies definitely showing. I on the other hand, was a little wobbly on my cross country skiis and tango'ed a few times with a big ice batch, but despite the future bruising, we ripped up the commons inspired by the imaginary bagpipes in our heads!






The first image is Amy showin' off some skill and Kristy peeing her pants as the cars parked on the side of the road were approaching with a little too much speed...


So good times in Halifax all around... you Westcoast Whistler bums are definitely missing out on the action!!

Happy trails to you all! :)
