1st race

Alex is heading to St. George for the 1st mountain bike race of the season. Good luck man, hopefully the new Rocky Mtn frame holds up better than this guys did.

Belated Photos- Hogum Fork & Dented Frames

Finally getting around to posting some photos of last
Sunday. We tried to get an early start up Mt. Superior
but they were conducting avalanche control work
until 8 am. I am glad the guy told us- that would
have been a bit of a surprise when the howitzers
started blazing and we were on the ridge. Ended up
hiking over to Hogum Fork instead, where we found out
what 100 mph winds can do to the snow. At least the
weather was calm and clear and killer views made up for
extremely beat snow.

Sunrise over the valley-














The Pfeifferhorn- oh wait who are those jerks?














I told Tim and Libby to pose together on this wind
drift in hopes that it would slide and I would have
some peace and quiet. No such luck.
(Actually thats almost not funny and it was totally
safe or we wouldn't be goofing around)















I've only been drooling over the Hypodermic Needle
(the chute on the right that looks like a downward
pointing arrow) for about 8 years now. Someday...















Great views of the lake-














Ex-stream skiing-















Sweet- new hardtail frame arrived today















Not sweet... my new Element showed up last
week with a dented frame. Had to send it back.
F@$#&*% DHL!

Pagan Basin

Hopped on a 7:00 am tram this morning to do a few
laps out below Mineral Basin. The peak was socked in
with high winds but by the time we got out to where we
were going it cleared up for us.















Here's Libby, Keith and Tim looking bright eyed and
ready to ski. The snow ended up being way better than
we thought and we got three good laps in.















How bad did Tim want to do Pagan Chute?
















One ski had to come off eventually...















But it was well worth it...

ski demo

Spent the past two days at Snowbasin for the on snow ski demo. The highlight of the two days was defintely the Tibetan monk who was walking around in sandals and a robe. The temperature was in the mid teens, and it was super chilly in the shade. He was super stoked to walk around and check out all the skis and had his picture taken standing on a pair of Armadas's, as well as a picture with me. I wish I had a business card on me so I could have had them e-mail me their copies of the pictures, the pic from my phone below will have to do though...
