We met up with Patrick and Hannah for breakfast then proceeded to hit some easy trees around Emerald. Found some decent powder on the five or six laps we took. Late morning we headed into the Roundhouse for a coffee and a bit of a break. Irish wanted to Skype home since they are eight hours ahead in time.
Afterwards, we headed towards Symphony via the Peak Chair. The snow on the open runs is getting kind of choppy from the cold weather and winds, but the snow around the trees is still nice and soft. We did two runs through Symphony and on the third run, Irish and I found ourselves in the Creek area. This spot is kind of like a rollercoaster run with one track and with dips and turns everywhere. There were a few markers X'ing holes in the snow where the creek was running underneath. Just as I was about to finish the run, I came across Irish upside in one of those creek holes!! Scared me to death... as well as him. He got a bit out of control and launched head first submerging his entire head in the water below. He somehow managed to get one foot out of his bindings when I arrived and he quickly stood up. Luckily he was only wet. Needless to say we went up the chair one more time so he could rush back to the Village before he got too cold from being all wet. Scary, scary .... Stay safe out there.
