For anyone who hasn’t already heard, I took a pretty bad spill snowboarding (on a cat track / green run no less, just ollieing onto and off of a ledge), elbowed myself in the gut and ruptured my spleen. Click the link for more info.</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruptured_spleen">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruptured_spleen</a></p> <p>A few hours later due to abdominal pain as well as shooting (referred) pains in my shoulder I decided that I needed to go to the hospital so Brett took me to the Whistler hospital where they performed an ultrasound. It was lucky that I made this decision because an injury like this can lead to shock and/or death if not treated immediately. On a usual day they have 5 nurses and 1 doctor, close at 10 pm, and didn’t have all the equipment necessary to treat me so I was sent by ambulance to Vancouver General (with lights and sirens, about 1.5 hrs away) where they performed an ultrasound, CT scan, angiogram, embolism of parts of my spleen to stop the internal bleeding, and later a laparoscopic surgery to remove blood from my abdomen. Spent 6 days there in total before I was released…and they lost my health card somehow in the process. Despite that I feel that I received very good care and my own room in the trauma unit with free TV (thankfully to keep me from boredom). Met a couple interesting patients, and my dad flew out to see me as well.</p> <p>Unfortunately due to this injury I am no longer able to snowboard this season or do any strenuous activity for 3 months - this led to my decision to fly home rather than lie in Whistler in pain for a while and be tortured by the snow, and boredom during the day while everyone else would be out. While initially in a lot of pain I now am feeling much better and definitely miss being in Whis with all of my friends - but I think this was the right decision, Whistler will be there later and I am definitely thinking of doing another season somewhere out west again. I’ve been bit by the mountains and haven’t gotten my fill.. it’s just disappointing because I was having such a great time and had lots of goals to accomplish in the park. Next season I guess..</p> <p>An edit of the minimal footage I got will be coming in the future, but I have been trying to rest despite having lots to do and figure out since I got back. Stay tuned.</p>http://www.davefleisher.com/post/19859765029http://www.davefleisher.com/post/19859765029Sat, 24 Mar 2012 16:07:00 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzxero9Sdi1r6u1vlo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzxero9Sdi1r6u1vlo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzxero9Sdi1r6u1vlo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzxero9Sdi1r6u1vlo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzxero9Sdi1r6u1vlo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzxero9Sdi1r6u1vlo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>On Feb 18, 2012 we (me, Brett, Rob, Tara) were meant to go hike the flute bowl again off the symphony lift. Due to extremely long lift lines (as a result of President’s Week in the USA and the beginning of UBC and other universities’ reading weeks) we decided not to ride and to go to Nairn Falls instead, just south of Pemberton. IT ended up being a pretty good day, except Rob lost his camera, even after going back to look for it.</p>http://www.davefleisher.com/post/18222960578http://www.davefleisher.com/post/18222960578Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:00:26 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjwb6KHvF1r6u1vlo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjwb6KHvF1r6u1vlo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjwb6KHvF1r6u1vlo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjwb6KHvF1r6u1vlo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjwb6KHvF1r6u1vlo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjwb6KHvF1r6u1vlo9_r2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjwb6KHvF1r6u1vlo8_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjwb6KHvF1r6u1vlo10_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjwb6KHvF1r6u1vlo11_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Valentine’s Day photo shoot in the Blackcomb park. Photoset 1 of 3.</p> <p>Huge thanks to Rob Morrison for bringing out his SLR to get shots on this beautiful day. Now I’m thinking of getting myself a GoPro HD Hero camera that can be attached to my board or helmet to get cool wide angle HD footage when riding alone. It can also be attached to a pole to be used by someone riding alongside to film. Now or never right?</p>http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17999460286http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17999460286Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:25:16 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjvmiJYYl1r6u1vlo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjvmiJYYl1r6u1vlo2_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> Sick edit by Rob Morrison<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjvmiJYYl1r6u1vlo4_500.jpg"/><br/> Pretty camo<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjvmiJYYl1r6u1vlo14_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjvmiJYYl1r6u1vlo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjvmiJYYl1r6u1vlo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjvmiJYYl1r6u1vlo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjvmiJYYl1r6u1vlo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjvmiJYYl1r6u1vlo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjvmiJYYl1r6u1vlo10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Valentine’s Day photo shoot in the Blackcomb park.

We did have a certain lake in mind, Blackwater Lake, but due to the 2-wheel drive sedan I’m driving we couldn’t make it up the steep and snowy logging road to get there. Change of plans - we decided to try to fish from a creek we saw on the drive up. It turns out the water in the creek was way too low so we just decided to go exploring instead.</p>http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17967134425http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17967134425Mon, 20 Feb 2012 13:11:00 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzkivyx29B1r6u1vlo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzkivyx29B1r6u1vlo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzkivyx29B1r6u1vlo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzkivyx29B1r6u1vlo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzkivyx29B1r6u1vlo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzkivyx29B1r6u1vlo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzkivyx29B1r6u1vlo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzkivyx29B1r6u1vlo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzkivyx29B1r6u1vlo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzkivyx29B1r6u1vlo10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Our friend Tara works as a dog sled guide. One day after work we were able to go play with the dogs in their kennel for a little bit. The dogs were smaller than I expected, but the whole experience was a lot of fun! Working there would definitely be a fun job for a season. Three of our roommates, Nate, Josh and Gal came with us.</p>http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17957529707http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17957529707Mon, 20 Feb 2012 10:34:37 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzgvjr3Xu41r6u1vlo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzgvjr3Xu41r6u1vlo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzgvjr3Xu41r6u1vlo3_500.jpg"/><br/> Aussies on the loose<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzgvjr3Xu41r6u1vlo4_500.jpg"/><br/> Passed out girl<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzgvjr3Xu41r6u1vlo5_500.jpg"/><br/> Brett and Fabi ???<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzgvjr3Xu41r6u1vlo6_500.jpg"/><br/> Garf's<br/><br/> <p>A random night out in Whis.

Just out of bounds off the peak chair, there were 100+ people partying here on Feb 8, 2012. There was a bar made out of snow where you could buy shots, beers, and hot dogs to roast on a fire. Most people bring cans of beer in backpacks. In photoset 2 you can see pictures of people hitting a pole jam and some booters that were set up. You can also see some pics of people launching their GoPro’s into the air using a slingshot to get some cool footage. Photoset 3 has pictures of the turnout later in the afternoon and some great shots of the sun setting. Definitely a great time and a fun ride down.

Photoset 1 of 2. We headed to Van in the evening and went to stay with a friend from Carleton, Mikey Melon Tang Williams. We went out with his friends to a bar called the Met. Pretty wild night, lots of fun people and we walked past Marc Emery’s Cannabis Culture Headquarters on the way home. Waking up in the morning we didn’t expect such an amazing view of the ocean - definitely a great start to the day. We went out for lunch, then hit Mikey’s friends hot tub on the hill with a great view of the city. Following that we walked across the Lion’s Gate bridge to see the view, and took a walk along the seawall and through Stanley Park - altogether about 2 and a half hours. Then we headed back north into the sunset to buy food in Squamish and return to Whis. Be sure to check out the video of the goat - coming soon!</p>http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17173903729http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17173903729Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:42:17 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxvnsBJuL1r6u1vlo1_500.jpg"/><br/> Rodney against the mountains<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxvnsBJuL1r6u1vlo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxvnsBJuL1r6u1vlo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxvnsBJuL1r6u1vlo4_500.jpg"/><br/> Million Dollar Ridge...super tired<br/><br/> <p>The day we hiked from the Symphony lift to North Flute Bowl, then rode Million Dollar Ridge.

Photoset 1 of 2. About a half an hour hike. Took a good amount of time to chill and have some snacks at the top when we met our friend Rodney the raven (I think). Pretty big birds, smart too. They sneak in to get your sandwich backwards so they can take off afterwards, and if they see you looking at them they bail. There was a great powder run after this although it was a little heavy as it was pretty warm.</p>http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17122254223http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17122254223Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:39:07 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxu1q8tnD1r6u1vlo1_500.jpg"/><br/> T-barrin' it<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxu1q8tnD1r6u1vlo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxu1q8tnD1r6u1vlo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxu1q8tnD1r6u1vlo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxu1q8tnD1r6u1vlo5_500.jpg"/><br/> Sweet trees to ride<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxu1q8tnD1r6u1vlo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxu1q8tnD1r6u1vlo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxu1q8tnD1r6u1vlo8_500.jpg"/><br/> Lift line chills - love the DC logo here<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxu1q8tnD1r6u1vlo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>A day of riding the 7th Heaven area on Blackcomb.</p>http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17113263893http://www.davefleisher.com/post/17113263893Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:12:18 -0800
