Skiing My Butt Off!

I just tallied up all of the hours I’ve spent skiing so far this year, and I was shocked to see that I have skied over 150 hours already!!! I got an early start on my ski season this year with a two and a half week trip to Summit County, CO. Now I’m back home in Sun Valley, I’m feeling stronger than ever, and I’m antsy for winter to show up. Snow is in forecast this weekend but Sun Valley isn’t waiting. They have put snowmaking efforts on full throttle, and new terrain is opening every few days…

Reacquainted With An Old Friend

I’m in the best mood EVER!!! Want to know why? …Because today was the first day of my 09-10 ski season. It felt so good to finally get reacquainted with the snow, and I am so happy to be sliding down mountains again. I forgot that I would have to get used to my equipment again, but after a few runs i was quickly charging ahead at full speed. After skiing today, I have a feeling that the rest of this season is going to be truly epic!


My 08/09 Season Blasts Off At Revelstoke

I went to Revelstoke Mountain resort for opening day on Nov. 27, 2008. The mountain opened with 80cm, which is awesome compared to other mountains in the American Northwest. Revelstoke Is an amazing mountain, there isn’t too much for one learn on, but the intermediate, and advanced terrain is impressive. I had a great time and I can’t wait to see what this mountain is like with some real snow on it. I had an amazing first day skiing, but it seems that no matter how much I train, my legs turn to flab within the first couple of hours or so each season. Nevertheless, it was great to finally get some vert in; I managed to get about 31095ft in the 5hrs I skied. I’m ecstatic that ski season is upon us once again, see you out there…
