ooootahh part 2

ok, so i've been back in washington for 2.5 weeks but here are a few more photos from my utah trip. was there from jan 1 to jan 7 and we rode every single day. logged 5 days at brighton and 2 days at snowbird, and at least 4 days were pow days (memory's getting foggy). brighton is now a sister resort of my 'home' mountain, the summit at snoqualmie, so i get 10 free days at brighton.

sunny, light snow, and everything is cheap; utah's got me hooked. $3.99 for an arby's beef and cheddar combo, c'mon, that'd cost like $6.50 here. plus, gas was like $1.35. big thanks, again, to ben and tony for letting me crash on the couch. see y'all at baker. and big thanks to BB for giving me the opportunity to do some UT shredding. still got 5 free days left at brighton...

oootahh pt. 1

hi er'ybody! happy new yarr. my resolution is to pay better attention to this blog and put up hella purrrrdy pictures. my other resolutions are: swear less, get tough, be awesomer, and land my first seven. updates to follow.......................? crap, boob, fart.

FIRST DAY OF THE SEASON!

well, it's been pretty darn cold in seattle recently and we even got some snow in the city (rare) but 2 sunday's ago (12/07/08), before there was much more that a hint of snow in the mountains a group of friends tested out luck and a promising forecast up at chinook pass. chinook is on the east side of rainier and the pass is somewhere around 5000 ft. which is probably about as high as you can get on a paved road in the central cascades. this pass is typically closed between nov. and june/july depending on the snowpack. since winter has been slow to come out here it was still open. anyways, we lucked out and found some pretty good snow (i.e. pow, pooh, etc.). even though cover was kinda thin we built a couple of real small jumps & jibs and had a blast.

it feels real good to know that something that brought me so much joy when i was 10 years old and riding in the front yard in wisconsin on a plastic mogul monster snowboard that my parents (aka Santa) got at Farm & Fleet still brings me the same amount of happiness now that i'm 30.

the first 5 pics (green jacket) are me, the rest are friends. the last one with the giant pooh slash is my favorite.

ok, 1 more

hoen's been helping me get the snowmobile to look pretty bitchin'. PROOF.

hood's not done yet but the chicken's lookin' good.

grrr

ok, so it's been a long time. here are some pretty pics from when i went hunting. didn't kill nothing (damn crafty deers) but tried to kill two things (chukars aka big partridges(sp?)). hmm, that didn't come out right. here's some pics, i don't feel like typing. bye bye.

Whoo?

blast from the not so distant blog past
