April 30, 2010 Flagstaff (Alta,UT)

When Snowbird Resort recorded 33" of new snow, Tiphanie and I decided to skin up Flagstaff and make some turns.  WOW!

One final backcountry ski run for me.  These were most likely my deepest turns of the 09/2010 ski season

A frozen face still knows how to smile!

Smiles don't lie how good the run was!

Rocky Mountain Sherpas

Most of us have lost our interest in playing in the snow this season and ready to swing clubs, ride bikes, surf, hike, climb and more......   Let the countdown begin!

check these videos out if your bored at work or home and tease ourselves until next season.


Riding snow is a lifestyle not a hobby!

Ummmmmmm?



Ride tomorrow, tee it up on Sunday? So, Im heading up to KTown tonight to - what I thought was going to be just grab my shit from the condo for the season. I was just gonna hike around Killington to see the season off, enjoy the sun and warm temps and mentally detach from winter.....UNTIL.....I looked at the forecast!!! Not sure exactly what Im gonna do yet because the better forecast is for Jay and they're re-opening on Thursday. Ill have to assess early tomorrow, but I'm beyond psyched that almost exactly one month after I f'd up my knee, having already caddied 10+ times that Im gonna get to break out the brand new Malolo on April 28th!!!!! Thanks ULLR...Liv2Ride.

recollecting!

As I sit here sippin' on local microbrews watching the sunset over Jackson, Wyoming I start recollecting memories of the '09-'10 ski season and more( Nov-May '09-'10).   

I want to start by thanking everyone that was part of the season!

-4-D "beast" crew for letting me rest my head in the "cozy nook" for December and ringing in 2010.  
-The crew that visited Salt Lake to shred Solitude and drink Hop-Rising with me and of course, much more.  
-Getting Hobacked at J-Hole with Soligully and Brigdonk brought much laughter.  Thankful for Teton Pass
-the memorable day of a 10 mile round-trip trek into Diamond Fork Hot Springs after a full day of ski touring.  .....and of course Molca Salsa at 3:30 A.M.
-A solo camping escape to Moab's hot sun with Skicrazi's dags.  
-3day weekend in South Lake Tahoe gambling, skiing Heavenly and a bear sighting on the beach.
-Mountain Biking getaway to Gooseberry Mesa 
-visiting National Parks ( Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce, Grand Teton, Capitol Reef)
-Apollo Couloir on Mt. Olympus.   


A few damaged body parts but that is part of what we all do.  Continue to play safe and push for excellence with smiles across our faces. 


Live the Moment!
