Pushing it...

The endless winter is upon us...

After an hour and a freaking half drive to Danny, Chad, and Amandas, we screw around with my box and finally finegal is onto the roof of the hEllement for a total of 29 square feet of stowage space on the roof. hahaha Insane...9:30pm - we're off - headed to pick up Heidi in New Hampshire. Then, on to Mount Washington.

***Started writing this one back in the day and never got around to finishing it...go freaking figure...anywho...that trip was epic, surprise surprise...

Chang o plans

Looks like the plans are changing a bit...I'll be frank...Tucks looks like total shit. Massive runnels big enough to roll through in a kayak...moguls galore...etc etc. Sounds awesome actually...but I'd rather get more turns in then just whack it at Tucks all weekend. With that being said, it seems like Sunday River and Sugarloaf still have massive bases...So I think the tentative plan is Tucks tomorrow, and points in ME Sat and Sun. I'm pumped. I have never skiied in Maine, but, I'm sure as hell looking forward to it. Jay is going to be open next weekend and the prospects of natural snowfall this week have me thinking...lets see what happens. Oh yeah, Snowbird got like 4 inches today...how bad freaking ass! Too bad I'm not there...

Tuckermans

Tomorrow night the core four leave for Tucks...im stoked! Can't freaking wait...I have no freaking clue when the hell I am going to pack and tune skis though...not enough hours in the day...It'll be nice to really get away from everything for four days...conditions are looking sick...dodges drop, anyone???

almost forgot...

Vermont last weekend!!

What a kick ass time! Jay still had a bunch of snow, and so did Stowe...so what else is there to do? Pack it up and head north...

Roll into Jay at the usual 6am, head to the Jay Cunt Store, get some AM feed, roll back up 242. The squad this weekend was The Core Four and Matt...Amanda came up with some catchy name, but, it is fleeting me at the momment...

Jay was overcast, but so awesome all day! The trees were still really really freaking good. After the second or third time Wishard flew out of his bindings, we realized his DIN was on 4...lol too bad it was the end of the day. Oh well.

Jay was sick.

We wrapped it up there and drove down to Stowe to kick it with Thorin. As usual, he was ridiculous as hell. haha Took him, his roomie and his other buddy out for some pizza on the mountain roda. Yummy. Then, we picked up some beers, and went back to his crib. Luckily, I had the new Jack Johnson album and he had Game Cube...DUH! BRO DOWN! SO, we bro'd out for a long while, played some beer pong, and called it a night.

We woke up to 20 degrees...if you recall, it was really warm all day, the day before...yes, it was boilerplate. Somehow, it was a freaking blast though! As usual, Thorin was an awesome tour guide, and a blast to ski with. Luckily, we didn't get lost this time, so, things were a-ok in my book. haha Oh yeah! Thorin and his buddy from Oklahoma or somehting totally hooked us up on lift tickets...we totally skiied stowe for 20 bucks on a sunday....soooo awesome! As usual, it was great seeing T Dawg, but, we had to be getting home...bummer

So, that was prob the last trip this season to VT for resort skiing...this weekend we are heading up to Tucks..they have soooooooooooooo much snow! We're prob bringing up a keg, too...soo bring your party hats! ahaha

"Today was proof that you don't need the best conditions to have a good time..."

That was one of the quotes of the weekend from last week's Vermont trip...but before we go there....UUUUTTAAAHHHHHH

So, it's not secret, I'm like everyone else and blow major ass when it comes to this blogging stuff. But, that doesn't mean I'm totally sucking at life sitting around whacking it...just that I'm too busy getting after it to blog about it...haha
