Time again for slaughter of pow, bumps, and EC ice.
Days on snow = 0
Days in powder = 0
Days in hospital = 0
Here some good ones both are my buddy, a non-mag, the second pic was comming down colters at bb after 45'' in 24, you can just see the top of his head took me a long time to find his other ski usin my probe--the first one was a failed back flip attempt
Somewhere near alta...
Man, I wish I had some pics of some of my double ejects or both tips sinking and causing me to do a flip and slam into the snow or the famous I had two skis in knee deep pow but now I am on 1 wipe outs.
Lucky I haven't seriously hurt myself trying to get better at off piste/powder skiing this year.![]()
Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

Here's a great still frame sequence (pulled from video) of me from earlier this year:
Drop the rock
Stick the landing
Whuh-oh, kinda chattery here, and heading right for my brother (the cameraman)
If I can ... just ... hold ... this ... line ...
Hooooh shit don't want to kill my brother
Recovery! It's GOOOOOD!
Oh, no, it's not good, it's a tree right in front of me!

OMG, fucking winner. The placid look on the face is priceless. Good thing he had his goggles up.

Not my picture (she knows I am posting it), but its my roommate eating shit at the Fernie comp. She walked away from it somehow, I think I would have severed both legs with a crash like this.
^ Owwwwwwie that looks painful![]()

^^ Well, the binding screws held...
Since then it's been a book you read in reverse, so you understand less as the pages turn.
The things you find on the net.

Every man dies. Not every man lives.
You don’t stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing.
^^Should be in the "Amazing Recovery Room Shots"! The second fall is actually a "low altitude forward"...
Screw the net, Surf the backcountry!
