winds and snow

Methven is a sweet as little farming ski town. I was very surprised to see the pubs packed on a friday and saturday night. feels more like big sky! Been running the tune shop at big als for the weekdends for now, until matt the previous shop manager leaves on the 23rd for the U.S He has been asking me everything there is to know about the u.s. He's very curious and very excited to go, hes really into climbing so hes gonna travel around for 4 months and do some climbing. I tried to get him to come to Big Sky for next winter, but I think he's over winter. Don;t know how?
We've been getting hammered with snow and gale force winds. Some resorts have reported up to 3m( 9 ft for those who have forgotten the 3rd grade) of snow which is out of this world. But the unfortunate part is that the roads have been closed to go up to the ski fields. So still no skiing, yet. but hopefully by the end of the week we will be making some pow turns.
The house i'm living in is a pretty sweet spot. It's owned by an ex-pro snowboarder who was a in boarderX, and apperantly won quite a few events back in his day. He's a real chill guy, and just really wants to snowboard all the time. There are a handful of asians that live in the house as well, not exactly sure how many. But they're nice, theyre here to snowboard as well. But they've been coming here for 10 years or so, and still speak very very broken english. ( more like none at all)
Brett and Renee are moving down to Methven today so that will be cool to have some people to hang out with other than just Danny! not that, thats a bad thing.
Well hopefully Gale and her winds move out of town and let some roads open and get some more fields open. Hope all is well back in the states.
Cheers!
Hopefully I'll be putting some gopro footage of some gnar gnar pow pow up shortly!
