Hi Everyone, So another winter has come and gone in a blink of an eye! Whistler delievered on snow once again and all those pow day were just amazing. Not to mention all the kids I taught that I learnt something from all of them and charmed me when they were not naughty. At the end of each winter the Ski School hands out Instructor of the year awards. I was lucky enough to get the Kids Adventure Camp Instructor of the year award which I was very shocked about but very humble as well. As for my exams: well I didn't pass them unfortunitly. I had an off day mentally! So next winter I will give it another go. I finished Ski School on April 20th and have only skied once since then, seeing my ... read more

Hellow everybody.. Ik heb het net even opgezocht en mijn laatste blog update is van 7 januari.. Oops! In het begin gebeurde er hier gewoon niet zoveel dus had ik ook niets te vertellen.. Daarna was het dan weer veel te druk waardoor ik geen tijd had om jullie van nieuws te voorzien.. En daarna is mijn laptop gecrasht dus kon ik gewoon niets meer sturen. Soit.. tijd om dan nog eens iets te laten horen.. Met mij gaat alles super! Ik ben nu bijna 3 weken gestopt met werken en alle vrije tijd wordt momenteel gestoken in het volgende onderdeel van mijn reis: roadtrip west canada en Inside Passage Alaska met niemand minder dan mijn eigen broer! Indien gewenst kan je binnekort normaal een document via ons mama krijgen in word. Hierin staat alles in ... read more

We have purchased ourselves a 1981 Volkswagen Westfalia Campervan so finally have some wheels and a place to live in. She runs very well but is quite old and Tane is keeping himself occupied by fixing up bits and pieces. She is mechanically sound though which is the most important thing and the fridge and stove run perfectly so she will suit us well. It will be a relatively slow trip across Canada as these thing really aren't built for speed! We arrived in Whistler on Tuesday (currently Friday here). The temperature is approx 7-10 degrees during the day and drops to around 2 degrees at night. The weather has been mostly overcast with the occassional shower. There is still quite a bit of snow around at ground level - the ski season has been extended ... read more
My Grand Final week is here!

MY exam starts friday! Everyone involved in sport at some stage in there careers dreams of winning a Grand Final in whatever sport they play or dreams of being in the Olympics. This is my Grand Final or Olympics! The past 4 years have been a build up to the next five days. No words can describe how much guts, effort, patience and self belief it's taken to get me to where I am right now in life! Three years ago 'on this day' I was a complete Cripple and needed everyone around me to do most of my 'day to day' things for me. As for now; in 4 days time I've got the opportunity to get a level of Skiing that is certified by the ISIA (International Ski Instructor Alliance) at any resort around ... read more

Hi Everyone, Lets go back to the end of summer........ mid Oct I ended up finishing my residency paperwork just intime before leaving to come back to Australia for 3 weeks in late October. It was a very large project in getting all the paperwork together that was asked for and going threw it all in detail so it all matched up. It is one of the hardest things mentally I've ever undertaken (other them my surgeries). late Oct I hopped on a Air Canada Flight to make a quick 3 week trip home to Australia in-between seasons. I arrived home on the Wednesday and was in no mood to be sociable after a 16 hr flight. I went to Cricket training on the thursday with ever intention of playing in a low grade. After much ... read more

Ooops forgot to publish earlier :) So we were very lucky to spend time with family at Whistler, the Smith family that is. Massive thank you to Danni and Mitch for having us stay with them whilst we were there and making our trip wonderful. Despite being in Whistler for one of the coldest dates of the season with the weather being minus 21 plus wind chill we managed to hit the slopes. We got in three days on the snow which was a great way to end our snow season in Canada and being with Mitch and Danni made it even better. Kari hit the beginners terraine parks and each day her jumps got higher & higher and she also went along blocks and became a tree run enthusiast. Whilst Chris hit the largest terrain ... read more

Daarnaast zalige tracks gedaan, enkele tree runs en ook een beetje powder gezien.. Als dit je allemaal niets zegt.. trek het je niet aan! Kom gewoon even langs en let's punch this sucker together! :D Zie de foto's!... read more

Hey hey Hier ben ik nog eens :). In de eerste plaats wil ik jullie van harte bedanken voor alle kleine briefjes en het kaartje.. het doet zeker deugd om zoiets te ontvangen. Ik vond het echt super! Jullie mogen altijd blijven sturen naar: 6141 Eagle Drive Whistler, BC, V0N1B6 Canada :D Verder heb ik niet zoveel nieuws naast de gewone gang van zaken.. Teveel werken en toch teweinig geld.. af en toe genieten van het snowboarden en hier en daar een feesje meepikken. Gelukkig is de drukke vakantieperiode voorbij.. dus dat wil zeggen minder lang wachten aan de gondola's, meer ruimte op de berg voor ons en niet meer zo hectisch in the village. Tussen de foto's enkele van ons kerstdiner, en ook allerlei foto's genomen met mijn GSM. Slechtere kwaliteit maar soms leuke beelden! ... read more
