Whistler Visit

I was thinking that because I needed to get out of the States, I would go back to my old hometown of Whistler, BC. It’s been about five years since I got to ride those mountains in the winter so it was time to visit. I honestly couldn't remember what to expect since it had been so long. According to my friends who still live there I came at the best time. Whistler just got dumped on finally so my first day of riding was a pow day. The leg pain was a nice reminder of how it feels to ride a real mountain. The second day was blue bird, so I got to ride park with my brothers and experience the best of both worlds on both Whistler and Blackcomb. It was really good to see all my old friends, I'm glad I finally got a chance to go back there. -Kara Rennie -Photos by Blake Payne Myself at the top of Whistler Mark, Brian and Derek Peak to Creek Fresh snow overnight at Creekside gondola Slash through the trees Tire bonk on Blackcomb

Pow mow day with the boys

I got to be the Token girl on at cat boarding trip to Powder Mountain, Utah. It hasn't snowed in over a week but there was still pow. So fun!

Xgames 2012

There's always so much going on at xgames and I want to see everyone so I forget to take pics. This is from my iPhone on the last day, the halfpipe, my VIP pass and the VIP lounge.

Mexico teaser

Last week I was in Los cocos, Mexico with the family. This was our first ever sun spot vacation together. I took way too many pictures but these are my iPhone pics to start off.

Tattoos

My friends, the triplets decided for their 18th birthday they would get tattoos of three sparrows. I decided to get mine as well, the cross. Thank you Brit for the skin work.

New Years in Aspen

I finally loaded my pictures from New Years! A couple friends and I had some wine and some Champaign while getting ready to head to the bar. We danced at the bar for the most part and I constantly walked around collecting balloons and party toys from all over the building. As a result of the night, these iphone photos became my favourite from the day/night.
