Afterparty at The Brew Works? Pre-party at toast's? hmmmmm

the production on it is REALLY good. the rest of it? not so much.

how about a "please"? there's no reason to be rude, sir.

pretty sure they only carry Dalbello

I hope a sick bird finds the hood of your car

got my first Transworld Snowboarding issue of the season yesterday. the stoke market is officially open!

got me some Dalbello boots, Dynastar Legend Mythic Rider skis, and some Scott poles. Hope I get to use 'em more than once a week....

nice! the snow actually doesn't look all that terrible.

looks pretty awesome. and that dog rules.

Got fitted at Salters a few weeks ago, and they did a great job, especially with the biomechanics of skiing and making orthotics. They don't have a shitload of stock or anything, but they do boots well. And yeah, that's right. I got ski boots. Look out.

done. that's really awesome, toast.

Buckman's in KOP had them all season in both red and white.

looks great!

after quotes like that, it's hard to defend you not being an asshole.

glad you made it out alright. really scary shit.

that shit's pretty amazing

Blue was terrible today. It was like an inch of mashed potatoes on top of an ice rink. Maybe it was more like riding on a pool table: a microscopic layer of felt covering a foot of slate. Razor's was the only run that remotely enjoyable.

Jeff took about 45,000 other pics, so hopefully he'll get off his keister and start posting them

I'll be up at some point tomorrow, too. Most likely earlier than later.

I put a bunch on Facebook. I'll post them here when I get a little more coffee in me.

That was in the hobacks

I was there for only 3 day last year, and it was a life-changer. This year was even better. Despite Doug never ever, ever, ever, ever stopping talking (ever), it was an amazing trip. My first day, we hit totally untracked powder all morning. Riding a legit powder board through powder is just ridiculous. Even when we only had 3-4 inches of new powder, the mountain was amazing. Hitting untracked lines through the back bowls is something everyone should experience. And when you can tell a woman's ass looks good through ski pants, you know her ass is unbelievable. Even though my board choices might have been a little off (should've ridden the SL more than the Premier F-1), I've never had a better 5 days out. As much as I missed my wife and dogs and all that, I still wish I was there. And I've already got a line on stiffer boots for next year. My calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus for those in the biz) are still jacked. I'm still surprised there's still snowboarder hate. Between that awful Aussie woman and that rotten guy from T.O. ("You know what's great about Alta? No snowboarders!"), it's really surprising there's still that old school attitude that exists. The past should stay in the past. And one-piece suits should go into the incinerator.

Great day today. The first runs Jeff and I took together were amazing. No one in front of us whatsoever. Fresh tracks down the Cirque is something I'll never forget.

Conditions were great today. The new snow really filled in some spots and made the rest of the mountain even better. Apparently today was gaper day. Goofballs everywhere. An 87-year-old Aussie woman rode the first gondi of the day with us, and asked "So who's the snowboarder here?" Another guy and I raised our hands, and she replied, "Why!?!" She went on a tirade about how awful snowboarders are. I've never punched an octogenarian before, but I was getting close to finding out. She then got back to fussing with her moleskin noseflap she had velcroed to her goggles. A fine look for any season. The tram going back to 1992 leaves shortly, and you might want to be on it, grandma.
