had a real nice day at Beaver Creek today. good snow, mild temps and NO LINES. I wore myself out by noon i was lapping chairs so fast. once things started getting tracked i did some park laps (and i NEVER ride the park really) but they have this 10' quarter pipe with a mailbox stall on top that i just love to session.

so there was a shooting at the sandbar in Vail on saturday night. 1 dead, 3 injured. pretty fucked up. i was thankfully in denver and i say thankfully because that bar is my normal saturday college football hangout. my roommate WAS there and witnessed the whole thing. he was actually talking to the guy earlier in the night before he came back in after...

Holy crap!!!! Glad everyone is okay. Did you know anyone?
fasterinfall:
no one that was hurt. my roommate knows one of the bar managers who was shot in the arm and will be okay. the person who was killed was 70 years old, two 20 somethings were shot in the arm and leg, and a 63 year old was hit multiple times and flown to denver, he's in critical condition.


i think people around here are just shaken up by it happening, its the first fatal shooting in Vail in like 25 years. The guy is pretty creepy looking and supposedly has post traumatic stress disorder from vietnam.

I'm thinking i might have to wake up early tomorrow and drive to my storage unit and get my snow tires put on in preparation for my drive to the airport early friday morning. that is of course assuming that it will be possible to drive to the storage...

Those roads are great in the snow...pft
fasterinfall:
CDOT is a joke they barely plow and they don't use salt out here.

to evilsaint, I live in the Rocky Mountains in Vail, Colorado a ski resort town. we get about 400+ inches of snow a year. the state just does a terrible job keeping the roads clear.



surprisingly enough though we got zero snow today.
