Ladies and gentlemen, the ski season has begun. Maybe there’s just a few resorts spinning their lifts, and maybe there’s just one trail open at each of those resorts, but the ski season is underway.
Don’t believe me? Take a peak at Rise & Alpine‘s first turns on Vancouver’s North Shore. Did it require some work? Of course. Was it worth it? I don’t know, I wasn’t there. But, judging by the video description, I’m gonna go with most definitely.
“This is the earliest I’ve ever been on my skis in my life and I couldn’t be more stoked to be skiing again in the sea to sky. Honestly, I am shocked with how good the turns actually were. I somehow managed to ski a few hundred metres of untouched pow. I can’t believe it’s October. Sorry ski bases, it was worth it!”
We’ve hyperlinked the video to right before when he starts skiing, but you can (and should) start at the beginning and watch the whole thing. Rise & Alpine has some incredibly positive energy that you can truly feel through the screen.
Rise & Alpine is skiing at Vancouver’s Cypress Mountain Resort, which typically doesn’t open until mid-November. So, while the lifts aren’t spinning where he is, they likely will be within the month.
Nonetheless, darn good turns for October, there’s no doubt about that. Some skiers won’t see a day that deep throughout their entire season (sorry East Coasters. Some of you might see one or two days that deep, but that’s about it).
