fernie

after a long day travelling across the US northwest, we finally made it to fernie. we had an invitation from FWA catboarding, not only to shoot at their area with the cat for two days, but also to stay at their lodge. totally different style there. everything very laid back and a super good atmosphere. so nice to stay at the place, where the cat starts and not having to hassle in the morning.

the FWA base is in the middle of nowhere and that is another thing that makes it so great. literally in the wild, as christian can tell. he spent some minutes outside in the dark for a ciggy, came back in, pretty scared... he had heard a growling sound pretty close to the parking where he was standing.

the next day, some guys from FWA found large footprints of a wolf or a cougar just some meters away from that spot. since that, the outdoor hot tub was the dedicated 'field kitchen' or 'cougar's fast food'... :)

(yiiha, mu just invented a new trick... i call it the 'mulitwister')

(the boyz on the cat: mu, sani, corey and christian)

(sani, into the great white open)

(the temperature that the body can withstand without getting harmed is about 60°C... the wood fired hottob at FWA is about 70°... beer for sure helps)

we spent three great days at the FWA lodge. weather was not the best and also the snow could have been better, but it was great snowboarding and a very very nice overall experience nevertheless!

thanks to scott & crew for making this possible, you guys rock!
