I know I have told people that I will ski in Europe one day and that day has come – earlier than I expected. Tamatha and Bungles looked after me my first weekend in the UK and they were fantastic hosts!!!  They saw how nervous I was riding the tube and those freeky double decker buses so they thought I would be more comfortable on … Continue reading Skiing in Europe

This should be the last skiing post for a while – tonight it starts snowing (AGAIN) and is forecast to snow for the next 5 days (should be worth a foot – maybe 2).  Then Andy is off to Japland and I’m off to the UK. So I have only limited chances to share the great snow conditions. Andy and I were up at the … Continue reading Last skiing post for a while – I promise

After bringing in my birthday early this morning with a couple of sheilas in the hottub (yes little spoon can verify it).  This morning looked terrible – 60mph wind gusts, low cloud and a little snow (you thought I was going to say something about the girls looking terrible). So after the 8am weather check it was back to bed. Then waking up a little closer to … Continue reading Cruising on a Tuesday

I’ve been looking forward to some hiking but to date there hasn’t been the opportunity (the snow has been that good inbounds). Little Spoon and I picked up some hiking gear – my first set of skins (they are 100% Baby Seal) and these tricky binding things that AJ and Richard instructed me to get. Here is me looking like an old hand (more like … Continue reading Time for some hiking

Lurch and Lisa are in Big White for their 2nd honeymoon…..  I think that Lurch didn’t didn’t perform on the first one so Lisa called me in to help out. Definitely a little weird being on someones honeymoon as the extra wheel but I’m comfortable with my ‘positon’ – hehehe. Today was a wicked day sking with Jon and Blind Andy and there will be … Continue reading Back in Big White

I’m not sure how many pics I’ll get on this trip but we’ll see what happens. Day 1 – Keystone, Colorado to Evanston, Wyoming First full day driving the Beemer and she is twichy.  A bit of ice on the road has kept me on my toes and under the radar. It is a Saturday but on one stretch of road I counted 2 cars … Continue reading Road Trip

Tomorrow I’m off north – going to be a mission of a road trip and I’ll try and take some pics and post them here.  This is one time I’m hoping it doesn’t snow. But I’ve still got to ski tomorrow morning and today was a pretty cruisy, late start kind of a day.  Here is a cheesy group foto to kick things off. Andy, … Continue reading 2nd last day in Keystone

Check out this short clip of me jumping off one of the summer … Continue reading Another foot
