Every winter, we lose 3 or 4 sections of fence to elk. They tore a 5/8 inch sheet of plywood in half to get at the round bales last winter.

Perhaps even more rare of a sighting is a hunter stalking an elk with a camera.

I agree the death of the college student was tragic and wearing a helmet could have helped.

When I first saw this clip, before Christmas, I was going to post it on News in the Kootenays, but then the young man died. I realized it would be bad timing and would promote the wrong message that people should wear helmets.

That skier, JP, is a bit of a legend, I gather, and it’s a shame he doesn’t wear a helmet.

Rabbit Ridge sounds mighty interesting and I’ll see what I can do to strap the .22 onto the pack so it can come along.

He looked great. You had any troubles with elk breaking fences in your neck of the woods?

I haven’t seen a ski movie for years. I prefer doing to watching.

What I have seen is a bunch of folks without the experience, skill and support of rock stars doing themselves in at an amazing rate trying to imitate what they see. The young man from Calgary who died in Nelson recently was likely trying to imitate the segment you suggest watching when he landed on his head without a helmet and later died of his injuries.

The last ski flick I saw was by Bill Heath and it is by far the best I have ever seen. That man has an eye like nobody else. No hero bullshit, just fine lines, great skiing and deep soul. That’s what skiing is all about.

I’m stoked you are skiing, Chris, and I can’t wait till you get your legs under you and I can drag you off into the woods for some real fun, the kind money can’t buy. I have a favourite spot called Rabbit Ridge I suspect you would like. Does your .22 break down and fit in a pack?

I’ve noticed rednecks and greennecks can be hard to tell apart. What I like about greennecks is they tell it like it is (as a redneck does), without caring what others think.

I’m still to polite to do that as well as some greennecks (I’m looking in your direction, Junior) but I’m working on it.
