The random life of Oli: Whistler Live and an almost bummer

So after a week of feeling bummed about C.R. I finally got out riding feeling super stoked on life. Did a couple of runs off peak chair first thing. Snow was wet and heavy but had some good lines. Then spent the rest the day lapping the park finally stomping 540's off the medium jumps I was a very happy chappy.

But then disaster struck when my rear binding imploded.

Feeling rather bummed out. But didn't let it ruin my day, I went and got a pair of K2 extremes from the demo tent to ride for the rest of the day... Have to say first time riding proper freestyle specific skis. They were alot of fun made spinning alot easier... So Tempted to invest in some K2 Domains next year. we shall see haha.

End of the day went to pretty much every ski shop in Whistler trying to find a new plate for my binding. Almost ready to give up and think id have to invest in new bindings some dude who worked at Comor came over to me asked me why I was so bummed out, Well he went to the back (after a guy before told me they had nothing) and found an exact plate to replace it. Being super stoked I asked the price. He only wanted a 6 pack of bottled Kokanee. Well I went off to the liquor store brought him a 18 pack and told him he saved my season... He was almost as happy as I was after. GOOD RESULT :)
