fasterinfall

holy shit. so so good today. woke up around 730am to take a piss and saw about 10" sitting on the roof of the building next to mine. needless to say there was no going back to sleep. got my shit together and headed out to the Beav. 4" reported at 5am, i'd say there was closer to 10-12 on the mountain. didn't get first...

Day 8 tomorrow and Day 1 at Beaver Creek. Beav is always my second choice out here but, i mean how can you really complain. but nothing fun is open yet over there so hopefully the snowfall (4" so far) continues through the night otherwise it'll be all groomers. i really want to ride the burton, but it hasn't been sharpened or waxed yet and...

oh man. two stages working with me on 2 consecutive nights. makes things hectic. so these guys come in and work a night for free and we evaluate their skill level, personality, and work habits. its a pretty stressful thing to go through and our kitchen is intimidating as hell to work in. you give them simple tasks, explain the way the kitchen is run,...

no storm yet. but the warnings were bad enough i didn't go to Denver and had to endure yet another annoying conversation about it from my Denver friends. i guess they win this round, but how can i go over Vail and Loveland Pass when there is 3-4 feet of snow and 50mph winds and a winter storm warning in effect on a day i...
