Snow Golf

With wind chills around 35 below zero and the canyon road still backed up in to the city at 10:00 am I gave up on snowboarding and got out for a quick 18

The greens were really slow for some reason...

Actually I hit REI ans rented some xc skis- classic style which was fun, though I think I am more of a skate skier.






New Year's Eve tonight- I am trying to round up some people to go up Millcreek to be outside for midnight but it looks like it might just be Sammi and I.

Happy New Year!

Tram Line

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Went up to Snowbird this afternoon for a few runs. Brought my new-to-me digital camera out and the battery froze. These few pics are all I got after I warmed the battery up in time for the last run. Watch out Schirf- I'm practicing.

hell yeah!

I wasn't sure if Ty was going to post this or not but it's got to be up... classic!
For more pictures from a recent backcountry ski day check out our roomate Mike's blog at schirfphoto.blogspot.com. He's to cool for our blog. Ha ha- take that Schirfy.

Flailing

Wow- Saturday was quite humbling out at Wheeler Farm. I think I must have fallen 2 dozen times at least!

So crazy- that was my first time riding in the snow and I'm still not too comfortable on my cross bike. Those aren't excuses, I flailed it horribly. I really wish I had some video of some of the corners where I fell 4 times in a row. For some reason I just couldn't ride.

Props to anyone who rode smooth out there! Fun stuff.

Tool

F%$* YEAH! Not much beats seeing your favorite band live. Stoked!

don't piss off the troll

we need snow!

Here are some pics taken yesterday at Snowbird. It's finally cold enough for them to start making a ton of snow, but mother nature needs to cooperate and get the winter going!

Cycle Ball

So I managed to watch this entire video, and I can stop thinking that it's a spoof

Pink Dinosaur

"This is downright degrading- these are going on the internet and I'm not even going to get paid!"

Although I did almost get paid last Saturday night at a bar in Denver. I was almost best costume which would have been a $5oo dollar prize. I don't really think I ever had a chance.


Happy Halloween!

sunrise

a bunch of us went to Tanner's movie premier at Harry O's in PC last night. Despite coming home smelling of smoke, it was a good time. It's always fun to see a ski movie on the big screen with a crowd of people. Definitely made me even more stoked for the ski season. Lesha and i are house sitting at my Mom's and I managed to get up early enough to take some pretty cool sunrise pics while walking through the woods. Winter's pretty sweet, but fall might be my favorite season. The weather has finally cooled off, bike trails and in perfect shape, there's the anticipation of winter, and the mountains are really pretty. stoked.

Bobsled

Rode the Bobsled tonight- its in great shape. This shot is old but its all I have.

I need to get a camera. That's after a cross bike, skate skis, a snowbird pass and a new board! Ouch. Watch out Visa.

Maybe I'll start stripping part time to make some extra cash.

Go Bo Sox!

Ha like I care about Baseball. Actually i am pretty psyched about the world series for some reason.

Smog sucks, I need to live in the mountains out of the soup. Its already starting and its only October.

Winter

This fall is crazy- winter one day and then summer the next. I guess thats how it is around here most of the time.

This pic keeps me cool in the summer and takes me out of the 103 degree heat to a snowy fantasy land. It's my friend Rich and I on a touring trip at a yurt up near Beaver Mtn.

Anyway, this post is going a little better than the last one- it took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to post a picture with words. Before long I'll be a master blogger.

Hope this works...

so since we just started this blog I've been trying to remember some of the funnier youtube video's I've seen... this could be one of the best.... can't remember where I initially saw it though.
