Episode three: The third episode sees the “There Goes..” crew whisked off to Calgary, Alberta. Jake was not so lucky with the whisking and his flight path went like this: Anchorage > Seattle > LAX > Tuscon > Calgary, see you in 24 hours mate. John & Jye had a good time taking an hour or so convincing customs to let them in. We were ideally a week late and what little snow was left had been melted and refrozen, this left little possibility for any “stoke” to be mined and we had to instead mine snow at each spot from the nearest and largest pile of ice.
Many more miles were clocked in the minivan pinging from spot to spot, usually no snow or some aggressive capping would greet us as we finally found each feature. After we could squeez no more out of Calgary we headed north to oil town, the capital of Alberta: Edmonton. Here we discovered the Edmonton Queen Riverboat frozen-stuck in the river, this became our playground for the last two days of the trip, and I think we were all super greatful to bag tonnes of shots there.
Stay tuned, More webisodes will flow in coming weeks…
