Bags are packed... I'll be on Da Plane Da Plane (for all you Tattoo lovers out there) in less than 4 hours... couldn't sleep for shit last night.... go figure. SO STOKED!!! Jack was trying out the gopro helmet cam at work yesterday driving around on a Taylor Dunn and shit... was funny as hell

way to get it guys.... I'll be on the plane to Tahoe in less than 4 hours... hells yeah

Work is absolutely brutal right now.... even more so because we are slow and over staffed No right now the scouts aren't even in my possesion, a friend of mine borrowed them about 3 weeks ago. Both pairs 9 wards going this time around.... PE's will sit in my basement.

Oh.... sorry GSS. didn't know what you meant there. Flying southwest out of philly to vegas and then to reno on same plane so no worries about luggage not making the transfer as it will be on the same plane the whole time. No worries about snow delays into either airport obviously. We rented an expedition with a ski rack and will pick up tire chains if needed... We're good to go!!

Really?? You'd get slammed to all hell..... especially since it's basically groomers in the video on top of the singing. I'll post it on Alpine Zone again....lmao

like I said that video is much better when muted....lol

++++STOKE+++++ GoPro vids a must!!!

I'd be down for a mid-week pasr day at shawnee if we can get some peeps there

LOVE to hear that man... I'm going to start packing my stuff tonight....ok more than likely tomorrow...lol Wifey is getting a little frustrated with my ski shit right now...

Doug... JH might be in the cards for 2011 with the Blue crew.. Gotta see how things work out, but a return trip there is in my future for sure.. I'd like to hit either Utah or Whistler first though, but all depends on if my friends head out there or not.. JH is sick and I need to get back there though... If I get enough brew in me, I might even hit the dance floor all kid n play style yo.. This fat guy still has some moves in him and I'll do anything to get peeps to laugh. Don't think I'd screw my foot up though, more than likely I'll pull a groin doin a half split... gd - brown instructors jacket and black pants can be a tough one to find....lol Dominick (Pa Ridge Racer) has the same gear as he teaches over at Boulder. I know it's a bit away but my next trip to JF is going to be Feb 6 or 7th, but I'll look out for you then.. Always cool to see other PASR's around...

Yes sir White XL7... My son had the PE's, I was the fat guy in green pants, white jacket

Well it's the 17th and I'm getting there in 6 days so these storms better start blanketing shit quick....lol Damn this is kind of a bummer, as we're doing heavenly 2 days out of our 6 because of location. We're going to do them mid week though so hopefully they'll get some fresh by then to liven things up. our schedule is as follows so far...subject to change.. 24th - Squaw 25th - Homewood 26th - Heavenly 27th - Alpine Meadows 28th - Heavenly 29th - Kirkwood

what fatties you rockin Toast?

Mike and I got there really early and pretty much caught first runs down challenge.... Snow was FAST today!! I was trying out my water skis for the first time ever and they like to sail for sure. Speed is definitely not an issue, they charge hard!! Went down river shot a few times and then met up with JFskiDan and headed for the elevator. I kinda went down it hesitantly as I was not real comfortable on the big stix but had no issues with it. On my 2nd run down the elevator I decided to redeem myself and hit it BALLER style full on go from the top... my right ski popped on my 2nd turn, (left) then my left ski hit the ejected ski, and popped which sent me superman down the elevator. I jammed my pole in so I could get headed down feet first stomache down rather than head first superman style, I then tossed the poles so I didnt get impaled as I slid the rest of the way down the white monster we call Vader... LMAO It was definitely the yard sale of this decade so far. I was laughing so hard and wish we caught that one on video cause it was funny as hell....although in a scary sense until I got myself feet first. Head first belly down sliding at mach 50 isn't exactly kosher on a face that has rocks on it (although 95% covered today to my advantage!!) Dan ended up leaving around noonish and Mike and I kept hitting the elevator and floyds until Dominick made his way over from boulder. The three of us hit Elevator a few times as well as challenge, etc.. Today was groomers paradise as the snow was soft, smooth, and fast. Dom had a seriously cool recovery on vader when he got crossed up got off balance and popped off the side straight back up into his turns.. Another one that would've been killer on video, but the cameras stayed in the pockets today. The rains came and we all bolted around 1:15. A pretty darn good day for my last one of the month in Pennsyltucky. Headed to Lake Tahoe next... whut whut!!
