Opportunity knocks!  I have been driving this hill for years and always thought it would be a cool run. It is an access road for the bobsled run at Canada Olympic park that over time has evolved into a traffic short cut for people on the hill to get to the highway. It is a very steep incline for a little over a km with switch backs and a constant grade. Anyway my son’s school Jazz band was performing at a function at COP tonight, I had an hour and a half to kill. So ….

After cresting the hill I ran along the top of the ski hill to the school and then did a loop and started back. Halfway down the hill the view was incredible from halfway down.

I had the opportunity to cut onto the mountain bike trails and run some of the obstacles tres cool.

and run on some rough trails with very steeply banked corners and some incredible jumps (although jumps are not as much fun when running).

And finally came out at the bottom of the ski hill looking up at the half pipe with all the snow still there.  It’s freaking May!

It was a great run, not that fast but a tough effort, I can feel it in my throat.

May the fourth be with you!
