back..... after 11 years.


so my shred sticks are gonna be a little jealous when i bring home my newest babies.
let's knock on some wood in hopes i dont tear my knees in two riding around on these beasties. riding is like an old dog that you can still teach tricks, but they come more slowly. hopefully skiing will be a easily amused puppy with an exponential learning curve. hot doggin.

turnagain last week

last week we went to turnagain to do some steep shreds on the snow machines. it was sunny and warm and awesome. brendan did some sweet airs and some equally sweet falls, while jim hit some nice little cliffers. you'll be able to tell from the pictures that this shit was steep and you had to go fast as to not get eaten by the sluff river.

admittedly i was a little terrified at times. most notably when brendan dropped me off at the top of the really steep one and i was just standing there, walking along this massive cornice peaking over the edge to see jim as small as an ant at the bottom. peaking over an edge that you couldn't even tell what was along the way down to get to jim and brendan... and then just dropping down and feeling like holy fuck please let this feel somewhat solid under my feet until i get down there.

this weekend we rode alyeska and pretty much just hiked a fun little quarter pipe. brendan did some nice handplants and had all the 17 year old boys drooling.

easter wasn't very easter like. we boiled some eggs. here's the pics.

WE GOT A FISH!

and we named it RGB. for all you coloring correcting sons of bitches who know what that means, you won't be surprised to know it's red, green and blue! and we put a kitty in it's bowl!
brenda and i are happy to have (yet another) work distraction.
