SIA

Ty is down at SIA this week- I didn't have to go this year so I thought I'd post some pics from a few years ago in the SIA spirit... We hit the Rum Jungle then a buffet at 2 am for some leathery steak and soft serve. Yeah Vegas!

St. George- fingers and fun

My friend Brandon and I headed down to St. George last weekend to do some mtn. biking with a bunch of people. It was super fun- despite the fact that Brandon got robbed of riding dirt by a dislocated finger. It was a gnarly crash and I actually saw his bone sticking out of his finger! I thought he was going to be really messed up so I guess it turned out OK. I went to get the car and brought him to the emergency room. 4 stitches in his finger and 3 in his leg and he was back out on the bike by 5 pm. Hard core!! Sunday I met up with a bunch of people for a ride. It was super fun and ended up being really long. Here's Bart stopping for some lunch- its hard to see but there is a sign in the background that says "Wraps $8.50." Crazy. Here's a photo of me courtesy of Brad Keyes. What you can't see is that it is 40 degrees with probably a 40 mph north wind! Cool view down to theVirgin River Gorge and Mesquite though. I almost dropped down to play some slots... Brandon put in 3+ hours on the road on his mtb. Sunday- tough as nails! We got back late Sunday night then I hit the road to work Boise/Sun Valley Monday morning. As if that wasn't enough driving I took a wrong turn on a "short cut" and tacked on a good hour to my return trip. I guess things look a little different in the dark. Anyway- crazy week!

styaing up in PC for my Mom and Peter while they're in Jackson and I'm a little bored, so I thought I'd post. Hi Lesha. There's a huge storm rolling in for the weekend and I can't wait to ski again. The snow's been awesome lately, and another couple powder days this weekend would be pretty sweet. New skis are on the way, but I don't think they'll be here in time for the weekend. Super stoked tomorrow's Friday, it's been a nice shortened work week with new years falling on a Tuesday. this is my most random post ever, and probaly the most I've typed in one post. here are a couple pics from driving up parley's with Lesha. Aahh, the moustache. check out Mocha chilling in the back seat too.

Cheers
