Day 115 Done and Done

Vail, last day on the mountain. Headed up with Jeff, Tizzle, Berto, Cody, and Taylor. Cruised the mountain and made laps in the park. Went up to the top at around 3:00, had a few beverages with alot of folks in crazy costumes. Headed over to Jeff and Tizzles after riding for a little end of the year cookout. Kind of a weird fealling knowing that the season is over, but hopefully I'll be back next year. Now time to back up and head back to Atlanta.

Day 114

A-basin,

Went up for 1 run today. Im offically over it. no more till Sunday. That will be my last day of the season. Heading up with a bunch of friends for a little adult beverages and some slushy riding.

Day 113

Breckenridge,

Just cruised the mountain for a couple of hours. Nice and sunny, got a bit of a sunburn. hit the jump iline again a few times, I think next year I will work on trying to do some spins, but I'll have to see.

Day 112

Breckenridge,

Just rode a couple of hours today with Berto. Hit the small jump lines at breck over and over. Bertos helping me to get my form down on jumps and in the park. Slushy conditions definatelt slowed things down.

Day 111 Winding down

Beaver Creek,

Headed over for the last day at Beaver Creek. Rode with Berto, Tiz, Jeff, and Jeff. Just cruised the mountain on 55 degree day stopping frequently for some adult beverages. Nice and slushy snow, made a few laps thru the park and just free riding. Pretty good day. Beaver Creek was the first resort on my Epic pass to close. It was kinda sad at 4:30 when they closed the lifts i realized that it is all comming to an end.

Day 110

Beaver Creek,

Headed over and just cruised the mountain for awhile this morning. Heading to the folks cabin this afternoon to see the progress. With the season winding down I think I am over it for this year. Being on the mountain was foun today, but it is getting harder and harder to get motivated to get to the mountain every morning if there is no new snow. Looking forward to just hanging out with the folks this weekend, and we will see how I feel about riding on Monday.

Day 109 Powder

Vail,

Got 19" overnight, Made the 1st cabin on the gondola. Went straight to the back bowls and almost choked to death from snow on my first run into the Sun up bowl. Heard alot of the locals talking about spending the day in the "White Room". took me about 4 turns to figure out that I was right in the middle of that room as well. Hit up Bluesky and the trees, as well as the Champanige Glades. Spent some time in the North Woods and just killing the powder in the front trees. Starting to feel alot more comfortable going off of jumps and catching some nice air. Wish I had some pics, but that takes away from my riding time. Found my buddy Jeff late in the day and made some laps off of the gondola. Best snow of the year by far, I hesitate to say best day, but it was so far.

Day 108

Vail,

Got 13" overnight, made 2nd cabin up on the gondola. Snowed all day long, fresh trackes all day. It was really windy on the ridges, so I just stayed on the front side. Lots and lots of snow. We are suppost to get another 3-5" tonight, so tomorrow should be good as well.

Day 107

Vail,

just cruised around the mountain all day. Not that great of snow, but its better that hanging around the house. Suppost to get 4-8" tonight and 4-8" tommorrow. Hope the weather man is right.

Day 106

Vail, headed for the back bowls and blue sky from the start. Captain and I caught the first cabin on the gondola this morning. Pretty good day, just cruising and hitting tree runs. Got off of the mountain around 1 and headed to the Arrabelle hotel at Vail, sitting in front of a warm fire, waiting for cookies at 3.

Day 105 Powder

Vail,

Got 11" overnight. Powder shots all day long. Rode from 8:30 til 4:00 with a little break in the midle to catch my breath. In fact I road so hard that I broke one of my bindings. I cracked a metal piece in half that was about 1/8th of an inch x 1/2 of an inch. Yeah it was a great day. Was suppost to meet up with my cousin, but we kept missing each other on the mountain, so we didnt get to ride togather, oh well some other time.Leftovers tomorrow.

Day 104

Keystone,

Made 2 runs then headed home, some days you are just not feeling it. Today was one of those days. I think being on the mountain for 100+ days is taking its toll on me a little bit. Suppost to get some snow tonight, so hopefully that will stoke the fire and get me going for the remainder of the season.
