Vacation 2002
Squamish Days, Logger Sports, Squamish, British Columbia, Canada - Aug. 3
How fast can you split a log this size?
There is some raw power at work here!
A big crowd turns out on a beautiful day
Some first-time logger sports spectators
Nick and Elke are loving it
An 80-foot tree topping against a mountain backdrop
Who can stay on the turning log longest?
This log is sawed through so fast!
Another team giving it a try
These guys finished first
Looks easier using a powersaw - but this was tricky, too
Chokerman's relay race - a second later, he was wet
This guy is standing atop an 80-foot tree
And now he is even doing a headstand
Nick is amazed at these skills
This is another 80-foot tree topping attempt
The relay race starts with a raft float
Here a Norwegian competitor uses an ax to split a log
Next, the Jack and Jill hand bucking component
The task is to place two boards up the tree before chopping
"This was fun!"
Mountain scenery on the way home
This cloud just sits on top of the mountain
Nick has found a new friend in Whistler
