CANADA!!!

I know I’m not a good blogger. Had a busy time recently, been out on the airfield to test the UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) for my diploma thesis, gave a presentation and now have a more concrete plan on what I’ll be working on here.
But apart from that, I’m in CANADA at the moment, united with my friend Simon, the crazy Canadian from Quebec with whom I shared a room in New Zealand. And I finally have my snowboard here as well, the stupid US Airways forgot my bag in San Francisco… bastards… I am in Golden, BC, which is a small town with an awesome ski resort mainly for backcountry riding. Snow is not too good at the moment, but we’re still having an awesome time here up on the mountain.
I just got my personal avalanche training today so we’re ready to rock on a mean backcountry tour where we will certainly find alot of untouched powder. Tomorrow we’ll take the first gondola and go snowshoing along from peak to peak to find a place to draw our lines into virgin snow. The day after it’s time to go even bigger, so we’ll rent out split-boards and go to Rogers Pass
Since I cannot stay at Shimmy’s place I went couchsurfing again and found an awesome place at a student flat, not surprisingly all of them snowboarders.
