Chris’s newfound vagabondism makes for some damn good Casual Fridays. It does not, however, make for consistent internet access. While we wait for our traveling contributor to poach someone’s leaky wireless signal, check this edit to hold you over. The good people over at Right as Rain and Plenty Soul put it together on a preseason day up around Whistler.

Oh, and if you’re in the state of California, please take the password off your wireless network so Chris can email his story and steal your credit card numbers. Thanks.

Nick Hickling:  Our day started pretty late– around 3.  The place was packed with 50 or so kids lurking around.  We all met up at the cliff/stepdown spot, and finally moved to the blue PVC rail when everyone else left.  Kadenwood is up in a development above Creekside in Whistler so there’s building supplies all over the place.  Great day, great little intro to the season
