Another week has flown by and january is pretty much finished - mental. I recieved my new snowboard this week also...check out the rockin' graphics - I had a few comments on the hill about how it looked!
This past week at work I have been working away on learning new things regarding Drill and Blast while at the same time creating a model of a massive rock cut we are to take.
Basically it will be used to help us plan the blasts and different cuts that need to be done. I worked Saturday morning to get some more of the model finished but I ended up out on site for 4 hours or so helping with the different blasts that they had that day.
The model of Doodsons Corner (each styrofoam piece = 20m)Sunday: Today myself, Brian and Joe headed up to Cypress Mountain (http://www.cypressmountain.com/index.asp) for a day of snowboarding. We got there at 9am and parked the car and were onto the slopes for the rest of the day. Compared to Symore last weekend there was so much more fresh snow/powder - especially when I ventured into the trees for some crazy "off trail" boarding. We were there at 9am to beat the rush but I everyone else had that idea also...we were in the main parking lot but were at the far end. Still, after we were all rigged up and ready to ride Brian gave Joe (first timer) some pointers and off we went. After it was all said and done we left the mountain around 4, and after the 20 min drive home I am sitting here updating my blog feeling pretty darn tired.
Rob & Brian at the foot of CypressNot sure what is on the menu for the week ahead apart from the Kiewit District Meeting which is being held Thursday and Friday of this week. It is a time when all employees from western canada (BC and Alberta) get together and discuss current projects as well as any workshops regarding company topics.
Until next post - catch ya on the flip side!
