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

Who needs champagne when you have hot coco, peppermint schnapps and vodka.











Proper classic xc technique...




and skate...

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
