Billy Bob Bear says “no hibernating”

BBB shred

Billy Bob Wants YOU… on the slopes of Smuggs

Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. Billy left his den, strapped on his board and shredded the gnar! Our Bear doesn’t hibernate… he hibernaps. There’s too many folks to entertain, he can’t sleep all winter (a short snooze now and again will have to do). With today’s sunshine and snow no napping was on the dance card.

Rockin’ Ron for Hugh.  Wow… the POW! Today I had the privilege of teaching a class of level 4 skiers. When we went in Whitetail Woods, one of the kids said: “there’s too much powder.” Kids say the craziest things.  Then I met my friends Eireann and Steve from the Toronto area, and we got in some great runs. We found freshies in the glades and on all of the other trails for that matter. Afterwards I went to the daily Snow Report meeting with Mike McAdoo and Eli Moore and they said the word of the day was “butter” – as in the snow was as smooth as butter.  However you describe, it was easy to go with the flow.
