    Summit County, CO 10-26-06

    My two best girls and I skinned / dogpaddled up Keystone through two feet of the heavy dense today. Only on the steep shots was it possible to turn, but we got some? Someone whose job seems unecessary but gets paid anyway must either really like it, or really need the money. Or both. Then...

    Large Marj

    Sometimes, plan B works out just as well. Two cars were shuttled to Bakerville the night prior, with the purpose of carting six people back to their starting point - the A-Basin parking lot. In between was to be a challenging traverse along the Lenawee / Black Mtn ridges, and more, to the peak...

    :)

    Some days are diamonds. Just the right combination of everything turned Tuesday into one. I fell asleep to the sound of rain the night before, and wondered if it would still be falling in the morning ? the morning of my birthday. My friends and I were going skiing. The forecast had mentioned...

    ty vole!

    Chainsaws, motorcycles, and beer. Oh, my! I noticed, while listening simultaneously to revving engines and screaming blades, that there is happiness in beer. I mean, in playing. And doing so in numbers. And beer. Ales sits in the sun next to the keg, smells the marinated meat smoking on...

    mine

    Above the quiet of a cozy little neighborhood sits a shack that once sat vacant for years and years. Sometime and someplace outside of 19th century Breckenridge, it was headquarters for a minor mining operation. Silver or gold or something else was carted out of a deep shaft behind the cabin...

    Don't feel bad for Cartman

    Looks of disbelief darted about the bus when George told a tourist that his binding was repaired with space-age materials by a rocket scientist from NASA. Only George wasn?t lying. Well okay, he exaggerated a little. This guy with the coffee mug is actually a retired NASA rocket scientist...

    Seeing things

    It?s been a little while since I was truly inspired. Now I am again. I have the vision. I see things, and they are beautiful. Stunning. Just look. Been there and done that are the ugly cousins of complacency and indifference. If you don?t use your appreciation, you?ll lose it. When you see a...

    The Definition of Bliss

    Thirty degrees and no breeze. Sparkling snow set ablaze with an inferno of glitter. Utter silence save for skins on snow striding upward under the squinting eyes of someone seeking solitude, and finding it. No clouds to be seen anywhere; not one. Just a fiery ball in a corner of the sky ? a...

    Red Mountain 02 04 06

    The sun has been bright all day and I?m still groggy from a week long powder binge. It?s 2pm and we?ll get it together soon enough. Puffy white blobs cling to everything just outside the door. The road to paradise isn?t paved. But it is packed down and skinning up it lends a perspective...

    Ullr's Pipe Dream

    The snow god is watching over Breckenridge. He sits in the middle of town, playing his magic pan flute to fill the air with snow. As you can see, he is a kind and generous god. That?s him in the late hours of Groundhog Day, 2006. That?s him in the late hours of Groundhog Day, 2006...

    Hero Snow

    It?s on! As I sat on the chair behind those clowns, the two girls next to me whipped out their cameras. ?I took a picture too,? I said. To which one of them replied: ?Yeah, they do this all the time. Superman?s my boyfriend, Spiderman?s hers.? You don?t hear that every day. At the top, I...
