Adjective-Noun-Verb

Today was Rad. And we've got the videos to prove it.

Before we jump straight to the video, I've composed a brief dozen phrases to characterize the day. I made these by asking Nat, Paul, and Mads for 12 adjectives, 12 nouns and 12 verbs. I then placed an Adjective Noun and Verb in each phrase in the order they were given (adj #1, noun #1, verb #1). With no further ado...

Today was,

Epic Tree Well Flying
Deep Cornice Sending
Cake-batter Cliff Powder Skiing
Like Really Freaking Fun Huck Eating
Huck-worthy Stomp Sitting
Rad Wipeout Pounding
Fluffy Lineups Feeling the Burn
Face-Shotty Moss Keeping Up
Whoopful Sweat Going Down Stuff that Andrew thinks You Can Do
Holleresque Spankys Getting Yelled at by Locals
Cotton ball-filled Fields of Bliss Getting Intimidated by Freaking Locals
Exhilarating Paul Being the Worst Skier On the Mountain, guaranteed, actually

Hah. The PMN trio is excellent at skiing, and we spent the day on Whistler's most difficult runs. Bushrat, Spankys, Diamond Bowl, Jersey Cream Trees, Seventh heaven trees, the Peak to Peak Trees, etc. It was fantastic! Madeline and Natalie filmed (after some technical difficulties) and we plan to wake up and do it again tomorrow. They're calling for another 25cms of snow by morning...ah, what a life!

Madeline and Natalie struggled with the video...make sure your volume is turned up.



This is a story. I went into great detail describing where the filmer should stand to take this shot. Once everyone was finally in position, Paul and I breezed down. The trees were extremely tight and we only had a small window through which to ski. To my dismay, Natalie, the camerawoman, was standing directly in my path. I had to destroy a small dead tree with my quad to avoid obliterating my cousin from existence.



We skied the natural forest (hasn't been thinned, cleared, cut ever) below the peak to peak Gondola. Paul was killing the tight trees...



Me skiing under the Jersey Cream chair, trying to showcase the powder. Our expert camerapeople held the camera sideways, so you'll have to tilt your head 90 degrees counterclockwise to watch it.
