Aweomse Mike...It's going to be hard skiing at Blue on Saturday

Besides trips and PA pow days, I never ski during the week anymore. Yes, I do work

I just counted...I had 8 true powder days this year in CO/WY. 8/20 isn't too shabby. I have 49 days in this year, 20 out west, 1 in VT, and 28 in PA. Not a bad ratio.

My face is really dark. In case you're wondering who the black guy is next to JohnnyStyle in that lift picture, that's me. Supposed to be cloudy tomorrow with no new snow, so 7 ski days out here is what it's going to end up being. 20 days out west so far this year. Maybe more?

Today was another bluebird day, and after the snow baked in the sun yesterday, we took our time getting to the mountain this AM (rolled in around 10:30ish), and brought our skinny skis. Johnny on his Racetigers, and me on my Mantras. We did a lot of showing off under lifts, including some "hollywood" bump runs that Doug likes to do. I know it's not dick deep powder, but it was 40 degrees and not a cloud in the sky, and we were having fun on my 20th day of skiing out west. Oh, and I know my form isn't perfect, the next turn was better, but someone forgot to move the camera

Glad you guys enjoyed the first day of the rest of your life. Where you two going next?

Jay skied at Ajax today, so Johnny and I went to Snowmass. I had a feeling things were going to be wind buffed, but wow, did it suck. We skied a few runs and were almost ready to call it a day when we saw the Hanging Valley Wall open. So, we hiked up to the top, and we found some decent snow. Rinse and repeat. I actually had some of the best turns I've ever had, not the deepest snow, but it was steep, smooth, and you could just rip huge turns down it. JADIP.

And you do?

They're "Neon Fire" Oakley Splices...they're supposed to be obnoxious, so I'll take that as a compliment

Because we were at Highlands, and hiking the Highlands Bowl is always an option. I don't want to carry my skis for 45 minutes on my shoulder.

This one was for GSS...We figured we'd find him in there taking a break?

NSjay just tweeted this pic of me...from Aspen Highlands today.

Here are some random shots... Day 1 @ Ajax...NSJay was in heaven. Day 2 @ Snowmass...NSJay enjoying 'Possible'. A narrow 40+ degree chute (pic makes it look flat/wide). Day 3 @ Snowmass...JohnnyStyle was very happy today. His first pow day of the year, and we certainly took advantage of some nice conditions below KT's/Cirque.

JS is sleeping right now...maybe we'll goto the Woody Creek Tavern for dinner tonight.

I always had the internet on my iPhone, but didn't have the motivation to write a TR via my phone.

Yes! I am alive! Our internet has been restored. Give me some time, I'll get some pics and some details up. I need to catch up on some things first.

On the taxiway at EWR waiting for our release time to ORD...should be another 10 minutes...fun day so far. Could be a mad dash in O'hare.

On the bus...the driver locked the keys on the bus and then we had to turn around on 22 to pick someone else up. There is a fuel spill on 78....going to be fun.

My 6am flight got canned. Jay, Becky, and I are waiting for a limo bus to Newark to fly via ORD into Aspen. I arrive at 2pm now.

Maybe JS and I will run into you at Steamboat one day

I called you a few minutes ago...there is a chance I'll be in Aspen much later then expected. I'll call you tomorrow when I'm in either Dulles or O'hare when I know more about my day. If my 6am flight gets canned tomorrow, I'm going to try to arrive in ASE around 7pm.

I put a GPS tracking device on his car...actually, I guessed his location to within 30 miles, and that was guessing his starting time this AM. He's moving along quite well
