life is sweet!!

oh yaaa.. got a job at camp of champions!! (wich is the name of the summer snowboardcamp here in whistler) how i got the job is a long and wierd story, so im not gona say anything about it hehe.. i just still cant believe i got the job.. it REALLY is impossible to get a job there... but here i am, watchin the raindrops fall outside my window and waiting til tomorow when we're back on the glacier rockin the park!!! sooo stoked. about the job: its actually just volunterin so no money, but i get to ride the sickest park on earth, every day!! (except sat when they reshape the park for next session) soo, i work sun-fri, wake up 6am every morning, go to breakfast at 21 steps (restaurant in the village), where i do my first shift checking that ppl have their passes.. then, after gettin myself some bf, up the mtn, get up around 9.3 and can go ridin strait away! is suposed to do my next shift at around 1pm at the lift watching the coachline (so that no non-coaches sneak in there) whats good with having a coach line is that all of us who do not coach at the camp also get a "coach"-pass, so we dont have to stay in the loong liftline.. mee like!! :) even though im suposed to, i usually dont have to work my afternoon-shift, so basically i get to ride all day 9am-3pm!!

and the park, yeah it is sick! even though its mid-july i ride a park better then any other park ive ridden in winter-time.. soo wierd hehe

what else.. last week was super hot! +35°C every day.. soo nice! was pretty tired though, since i still work at milestones so my days from wed thru sun are wake up at 6am ride til 3pm go to work get home at 1am and sleep 4h get up at 6am.... so mon i was dead! fell asleep strait when i got home! but i quit my job and doin my last shift on sun, maybe next wed.. cant wait!! soo sick of that job right now!

played volleyball on tue again (that tournament i think i mentioned), this time we sucked pretty bad! lost both games... hmmm... gota win next time

and ye, we just got a dog in our house :) krista, one of the girls here, has been dogcarrying this fella and now it stays with us.. 

rebooked (??) my flight ticket today, took an hour or so on the phone but it was worth it. was just told that i could call air canada here in canada instead of calling some office in sweden (ive done that every other time) and stay up all nite and wait for them to open.. so im leavin for sweden on july 31st and arrives 1st of aug.. im kinda excited :) flying via toronto, never done that before.. fun! hehe

thats all folks, later skaters!

champ of campers

life goes on and summer arives slowly but steady..

me and some other "dusty's"-people (restaurant i worked in this winter) joined a beachvolley-tournament the other week. so every tues the whole summer we will head over to rainbow park and play. last week we played REALLY crappy!! didnt win a set.. but today we got it all together and played solid and actually didnt lose any set hehe... so we are excited about next week to see wether we can keep our exelence or not....

what else.... had another bbq at andrews the other nite (this time i managed to bring the camera) no rockband this time, but if possible more food hehe.. it was goood..

and yes, the camp of champions is here... http://campofchampions.com/ which means a lot of small rich kids in the village.. but of course also a lot of good riders on the glacier.. whats pretty anoying though is that our public park is next to the camp and, how should i say it, that camp park is insane... never EVER seen anything like it.. which make u just wanna go in there and ride.. hehe.. well well, we have lots of fun in our park to :) actually, im spoiled to ride such a good park in en of june!! cant believe its soon july.. so i guess i shouldnt complain...

well heres some pics from some riding, bbq and volleyball

time for some breakfast and then head in to village to watch some football (or is it called soccer, ben?? btw, when is england playing their first game??)

GO SWEDEN!

last day......

yesterday was the last day of regular riding.. the mtn closed for the season and we were hoping for a great finish.... well... it wasnt sunny and warm.. but it was cloudy and cold... hehe

today starts glacier riding.. have heard lots of people saying the public park (for everyone who dont wana pay 1000dollar a week for riding the camps) will be really good this year.. usually they wont make it as good as they could, since they think peple wont go to the camps then... but this year they realized they could make it good without making it too good.. hehe..

so im really stoked on rinding it..

gona go up now!

later!

snow...??!!

its snowing, its fucking snowing... not in the village but on the mtns and its beg of june!! i must say its crazy... or is this normal these days, with global warming and all that???

detroit stanley cup champs

detroit won the stanley cup and Lidström became the first non-canadian captain ever to win... thats pretty awesome! GO RED WINGS!

IRON MAIDEN!!

it was finally time to put on the maiden shirt and get ready for some real explosive and rockin' action! iron maiden was playin in vancouver and ofcourse did i have two tickets, for me and lisa. we were sooo stoked!! and what a show they gave us.. might have been the best maiden-concert (out of three) that ive seen.. all the good old songs were played and damn it was good!! i was smiling and screaming thru the whole show.. thanks lisa for joining me!

the most interesting part though was were i was gona spend the nite.. for some reason there was some kind of politic shit goin on at this very day so all hotels were fully booked and all hostels were full of maiden fans.. hehe, i was pretty shocked when i found it out and realized I had to find somewhere open all nite and take the first bus back to whistler the next morning.. found a tim horton/wendy's which was open all night.. after eatin a small shitty burger it was time to kill a few hours, this was around 10pm... i was pretty tired, but didnt want to fall asleep cause then i might get kicked out for sleeping at a restaurant.. so im sitting there freezing (was cold in there) wanting to sleep but knowing that i cant...I put a newspaper infront me and trying to make it look like I was reading it while hiding my eyes under the beanie.. hehe.. must have looked pretty funny..

but i made it, woke up at 4.15 taking a cab to the busdepot and jumped on the whistler-bus... u usually dont sleep much on the greyhound-bus, but for some reason i slept all way, duno why... hehe

me and lisa were excited!
