Tom's Skiing Buddies

Spring is well and truly here – soft snow and bikinis at the Basin.  Unfortunately the following pics are just my fat arse – no bikini’s I promise.  I’m testing me new skis – they seem pretty aerodynamic to me….. … Continue reading →

You guys know this is going to be a big post – this is day 2.    More cliffs to open things up.  Me showing lots of confidence going into the Montezuma Cliffs.  I won’t talk smack about how high this … Continue reading →

Last week Lisa Doris was on loan from the cripple and cancer kids of British Columbia. The ‘special kids’ in Colorado (aka Little Spoon and me) were jumping for joy….. (Avalanche debris at a future snowmobiling location) (Little Spoon ‘phucking’ some … Continue reading →
