Boarding at the Bird

I went to Snowbird with friends on Saturday. Three of us didn't have to pay because we didn't get checked on the bottom lift and we stayed on the upper lifts all day. That right there made it a good day and all of the powder qualified it for a darn tootin' amazing day. These first two pics are me coming off this cliff in Mineral Basin. Too bad my head got chopped off. Look at how much powder was at the bottom though. It was a blast!

Here is to putting the cart before the horse.....



I was recently chastised for not updating my blog enough, so since inquiring minds are searching for answers, here is the latest:

My company recently restructured its departments and all of the job titles/responsibilities. Translation: I’ll do more marketing and less customer service and a few of my co-workers are looking for other employment opportunities. Bitter sweet.

I went boarding again Saturday with friends from work and then took a personal day from work on Monday when I woke up to a foot of fresh powder outside. Some of the best boarding yet! I finally purchased a helmet but can’t decide if it will prevent injury due to the philosophy I have adopted since buying it. “I can go off that jump a lot bigger now that I have a helmet,” or “I can go a lot faster through the trees now that I have a helmet.” I’m hitting my head more frequently now that I have “protection”.






On the way down Big Cotton wood canyon Moni tells us his Durango is running out of gas. With "0" miles till empty flashing and the needle below the E, we coasted into the 7 Eleven at the mouth of the canyon. Good thing for gravity!

Snowboarding at The Canyons

Saturday I went snowboarding at The Canyons Resort with a group from work. It was one of the most fun days I've ever had snowboarding. There wasn't a ton of snow and some of the runs were crowded; however,last weeks storm dropped 8 inches of fresh powder and you couldn't have asked for a more fun group of people. I am sporting a nice cut on my face from a guy jumpin off this small ledge through the trees and smacking me right in the side of the head with his board. I think it's sexy. Left to right: Tyson, Eric, Leamoni, Kahiki, Bryan, me, MJ, and Tyler.
