Hill Day

Last night Steph came into my office and said Do you know what’s happening tomorrow? Ah, no… It’s cardboard derby day on the hill!

Really, already? It’s been an amazing non-winter but the annual end of the season derby is something I’ve attended most years, so today we drove up. The road was dry, the weather fair, and the event was, disappointing.

After parking fairly up close to the resort I asked Steph if she was sure it was today? All we saw were skiers but when we arrived at the base, there they were. They’ve moved the run and are now charging $10 an entry, but I guess not too many people are interested.

I recall the good old days of a hundred creations manned by drunks and kids flying insanely fast down the hill. No more, but I still got some nice shots, so click below:

I have to admit, we didn’t stay for the event. We just grabbed a coffee, took some pictures and split. Maybe it was fun, but we’ll never know…
