I Win (The Game of Oneups-manship)

BP, Dan, I have something to say:  I win.  You thought you were cool with your 210s or your other variously absurd skis.  K2 built these guys custom for their shop in Vancouver during the olympics.  They are 16 feet tall.  That would make them 468 cms.  In that case I win... by quite a lot.  I will be purchasing these skis and than I will be the ultimate skier.

Lake Tarded in the Raw (200th Post!)

Three years into this blogging adventure and I've hit the 200th post.  Who would have figured it would be the Lake Tahoe raw footage collection?  As per Tim's request, I've put up all the unedited riding footage (plus a few other gems) in one long unedited clip.  It goes Heavenly Day 1, 2, 4, then Kirkwood, then Squaw.  Whole lot of fun stuff in there and great out west snow.  First times for everything!

Squaw (Olympic mission)

Off to squaw on the 755 bus after an absurd number of wines and tonics.

The mountain is amazing - thousands of acres of huge steep bowls.
Everything is good here. That is all.
