@NazarethSkier Jay and I flew Newark to Vail on Saturday arriving about 40 minutes early. We got our car, and hit the road before our flight was even scheduled to arrive. It's a beautiful drive from EGE to Aspen through Glenwood Canyon. We checked in to the Grand Hyatt, got some Big Wrap for lunch, and was on the Gondola by 3pm. Did about 4 runs then it was time for the Ajax Tavern for truffle tries and champagne. I went out for an early run the following day, and then went for a nice breakfast at the Little Nell. We were going to ski Ajax that day in some beautiful sun. We met up with JohnnyStyle for some high speed runs on Ajax's finest groomers. Was a beautiful day to be out on the snow. Yesterday we skied Buttermilk. I love skiing there. It always brings a massive smile to my face. Between the lack of people, the amazing groomers, the rolling terrain, and the amazing views of pyramid peak. I also demo'd some new Kastle MX99s for the day. The first run or so I almost put them back in the car, but after I adjusted to the shorter radius, I was absolutely loving them. Jay tried them as well and instantly loved them. Today we skied Highlands. We went to a local breakfast place to fill up before a tiring day at Highlands as we were going to hike the bowl, in addition to the other leg burning terrain there. On the way back from breakfast Jay suggested we stop in this insanely priced ski shop to see if they had any MX99s for sale as the deal at the place where I had previously purchased Kastles and demo'd the MX99s was mediocre at best. I almost had to ask if the price was accurate that was listed on the ski. They had 2 pairs of 184cm's left, and we bought them both. Jay even bought bindings and had them mounted in 30 minutes so he could ski them today. They're insanely fun skis and will compliment (not replace) my MX98s very well. Highlands has a completely different vibe than every other Aspen resort. It's the JH of Aspen in terms of clientele and terrain. We skied a bunch of woods before finally hiking the bowl. About 1" of cream cheese fell last night really making the surface soft. Had some pizza and a pitcher of beer to finish off the day.

If you don't show up, @toast21602 has my permission to ban you until the 2019/2020 ski season starts.

@enjoralas knows how to cook. The rest of us just know how to eat.

@enjoralas is the fucking man....in case everyone didn't already know that. His food is always amazing, but today was over the top, I thought. The sausage and pepper relish flat bread was amazing. The ribs were gone instantly. But the Crème Brûlée was insane.

When I pulled in this morning I sat in my car for like 5 minutes not wanting to get out and boot up in the brutal wind. It really wasn't that windy on the hill and it was way better than expected. Great job Blue. I hope to be in shorts at some point tomorrow. -

Who the hell was skiing on my Kastles?!?!

Not nearly that good.

Once Toast left it started to get nice. Challenge and NMDW were pretty damn smooth. Could really put the hammer down.

We need Champagne. If you don't know what to bring...bring a bottle or two of champagne. We never have enough.
