Good news! Cajun is coming out to Vancouver next weekend (Aug 29-31), to help me with my Vancouver bootcamp (sign up on our site)
It's always an awesome time when Cajun comes out.
When Cajun came out to Vancouver this winter, we decided we were going to go skiing after the
bootcamp. There was just one problem - neither of us had any decent ski equipment.
If you've ever been skiing at Grouse Mountain (just outside Vancouver), you'll know that it's a yuppie rich-kid fashion show most of the time, and everybody's dressed in their designer ski wear. Anyway, we decided we weren't playing that game (we didn't have the money), and the Grouse mountain yuppies could stuff themselves.

So we decided to go to the Salvation Army, buy $10 worth of warm clothing each, and head out to the ski hill. Derek was wearing a leather jacket, and I had a wife-beater, some cop-glasses from 1978, designer jeans and a soviet-union sweater. My gloves were hand-knit, the kind that chuchgoing grandmas make for the Salvation Army. I guess you could say it was a kind of cheap-o
peacocking.
I have to confess - I know now there is a reason why that top-end ski equipment is a lot more expensive than the Salvation Army. After a few hours, and a few wipe-outs, my ass was literally freezing to the chairlift seat. Now I know why people don't wear jeans skiing. But all in all, for $10, I think our ski equipment was a much better value, and I wouldn't trade that experience for nothing.
And most importantly, you should have seen the reaction we got from the girls at the Chalet. We got approached several times, though weirdly, we got asked twice "are you guys australian". Despite the fact that we looked like we'd fallen off the turnup truck, we actually got a lot of attraction because we were conveying a clear "who cares" attitude, and looked like a lot of fun contrasted with the uptight crowd that was there.
We were just two guys, sent to shake up their lame-o ski hill.
Cajun and I are going to be doing a
bootcamp together in Vancouver this August 29-31st. Sign up at lovesystems.com!
