Flat Speed


4 miles an hour through Minnewaska in the Gunks. Sustained for 1 3/4 hr. No these are not wooden antiques for show. They're speed demons. Snowfall - approx. 1 mm per hour of freshies. Only 4 spills. Not able to turn these puppies more than 10 degrees yet... forget stopping on pitches.

VT 1/12-1/13


Made a quick video too, but had technical difficulties loading it. Check Gaybook if interested...

Bring it.

BIG snow amount forecasts for many of the CO mtns through end of week. A quick edit of some footage from Sunday at Berthoud pass. No music so be sure to play the music player on the blog.

There was 10" of new snow reported overnight and the snow was still falling. Helmet cam was a little shaky but good enough for a little teaser vid. Approximately 3,500 vertical over a 4hr tour... 7am-11am. Perfect timing as when we returned to the BP parking lot it was FULL. Not even room for Santa's sleigh...

12.11.10 Berthoud Pass

Arrived at the BP parking lot at 6:30am to find jdwicks, AKA John Denver, headlamp lit and itching to get on the uptrack. Fortunately we were waiting for one more (Jeff) so had some time to get down that last lung dart before we skinned over to Floral Park.

Lap 1: East Side, Floral Park:


I'm pretty sure Jeff & John (below) will tell you this is about as good as it gets for 7:00am:



Lap 2: West Side, The Plunge:


Lap 3: West Side, The Plunge:




The snow will continue through early week with a short break before the next front comes through just before the weekend... Keep 'em up!

Don't forget to be safe, read below article and link to video on youtube - drainage between BP and WP:

danger under the snowdon quad

Soligully and Trouble Maker on Snowdon quad chair getting ready to avoid the human bowling pins on the way down.  Well they avoided everyone except for each other.  They collided directly under the chair.  Soligully ended up in the woods and Trouble Maker had a close encounter with the snow gun.  Some crew we have! Steer clear of the rookie tele skier and "morgan rocket mouse" on her new skis

11.14.10 - Day 3

Early curtain call this morning hitting the road at 5:45am. Clear skies and roads until Empire and then had to deal with winter driving conditions up to the pass. Not quite white knuckles but keeps you on edge. After logging close to 2,500 vert and 4 laps, I was on my way back to Denver at 10am as the crowds started to arrive.
It's starting to fill-in real nice up there. It will continue to snow everyday through Wednesday this week, so Friday should be a good day to play hookie up at Berthoud.

Until then, keep your tips up!

Rum Pointe GC - Ocean City, MD

Panoramic of the view from the back porch of the clubhouse. Looking out at holes 9 & 18 that lead back to the clubhouse and are separated by a monster lake that swallowed up many of our balls throughout the week! Killer golf course...

Soligully getting in his last few swings of the season before the flakes start to fly.


Liv2Ride didn't quite make it to the ladies tees on this tee shot! Just following the rules.
