snowboarding is neat.

Just got off of a day at Vail. You know, CO has soo much better snow than upstate NY or NC. Rockin the new board, new bindings. It's amazing what a difference a modern board makes.

Any of you CO peeps riding this weekend? Be hitting up Beaver Creek tomorrow.

mmm, fat tire.

Don't let the cat out of the bag about BC. It's a sweet resort with no crowds. Don't post anything positive about it.:D

Man, I missed you by a day. I had to stay in Boulder this weekend for family duties but will be up at Keystone on Monday for our corporate snow day. Remember that year you rode with us then had a free dinner in Breck? That was some time ago!

Have fun on the new stuff. What'd you get, BTW?

[mehugtree]

the Beav was horrible. Had to spend all day in some stupid glade just to get soft snow all day. Sheesh.

Hiked some on Berthoud yesterday (Sun). Man, THAT was nice. Deep and untracked lines through the trees had a group of us whoopin it up the whole way down. A sweet way to end the trip.

Have fun with the company. That WAS cool when we did that lo those many years ago.

As far as new equip goes, I have a couple year old, but never riden Ride Yukon, brand new Ride ES bindings and even upgraded to a jacket made this decade. Kind of feel like a kook with all new stuff, but I guess I've been riding beat up stuff long enough.

Berthoud lines will give you a perma-smile all of the time.:D

What, no duct tape on your outfit? It's only a matter of time.:p

[mehugtree]

ditched the duct.

berthoud was sweet. Definately the best riding of the trip.

here are some stolen images from my friends <a href="">blog</a>.

Cool pics MHT... Looks like great snow and cool terrain... Sometimes you don't realize how badly you miss things until you get a taste of them again.

Ah, good times.... Some day I'll get out that way for a few turns.. Another year..

Did you loose or find a dog while you were there? Just saw a post on another site about someone who lost their dog while at Berthoud on the 27th... Linky: http://www.splitboard.net/talk/viewtopic.php?t=441

man, that's heartbreaking! Looks like a cool dog. I did see a couple of dogs running around with their owners(one who we gave a ride in our van), but not Jed.

go home Jed!!!

Snow looks great! The Beav never gets tracked out...especially in the trees.

Berthoud's got some nice stuff, huh?

Bummed we didn't get a chance to meet up. At this point I think I owe you like 4 beers?

:(

Ya know T, maybe you should just go for a six pack ;)

Cool pics CO may not get a lot of snow but it sure does stay fluffy for a long time.

The place I play volleyball at had a sale the other day...5 PBRs in a metal bucket with some ice for $6! :)

Sounds like things are well in Utah? Lucky bastage.
