Copper

It's coming towards the end of my trip so I thought i would give everyone a little look at what the facilities here at copper are like.
Usually the weather is pretty overcast but it never usually dumps snow (I met a guy that explained this to me the other day it has something to do with the weather systems not being able to make it over the pass "full" so by the time they squeeze over they are empty and we just get the clouds but not very much snow). This isn't such a bad thing as it keeps everything in good shape.
So here is a photo of one of the higher lifts on a bad veerryyyy cold day i think around -20.



Then there is the pipe that's built by Frank Wells and his team from Snowpark. It's Always in pristine shape which is really good as a training facility, having a reliable pipe
This is how the pipe looks on most days when it hasn't snowed at all.




Anyways I'll be back home in Australia in not too long. I think it's about a week. And i might even have a little video to post up on here for everyone to see.
