• Two-Pack o' Monos March 6, 2012
  A great Bluebird day in the 'Boat and we got to share a few hours on the slopes with Butch, our southern buddy who just plain rips... and for us to say that, you know he's fast! It was a spring day out there, and it's although a nice change from the cold we've had, the Almanac says nothing major until the 3rd week of March.  2 weeks of wa […]
• A "sleeper" report makes the snow last longer! March 2, 2012
  Today's 6am report said 4" and snowing.  That's what we call a "sleeper" report.... that's a good thing.  sleep·er noun /ˈslēpər/ 9. A movie, book, play, etc., that achieves sudden unexpected success after initially attracting little attention, typically one that proves popular without much promotion or expenditure. In addition […]
• A little love on Leap Day March 1, 2012
  It's one of those days that locals call "weird."

  We called the snow report this morning twice at 5:30am. Then again at 6:30. It was so funny, we recorded it. "Did she say twenty seven inches?"  And she did say it was still snowing. Around 7 I checked my snow report app on the Droid to be sure ~ Vail: 0".  Winter Park: 4".  Steamboat: 27".  Holy shit. Patience pays off. I've li […]

  Jesus its coming down and no signs of stopping! […]
• Piling it on! February 15, 2012
  After five days of skiing and a stompin-fast African Dance class this week, I wasn't sure my body could handle the additional 9" on top of it all, man is Mother Nature piling it on!  But between a morning and afternoon meeting today I managed to make it up for about 90 minutes of powder hunting. As I love to challenge myself when riding alone, toda […]
