snow flakes on my face


since we talked last a few things have happend. First of all, that certain ridge above the house has been getting hammered with tracks since we layed down the freshies for everyone to see. Second...the Yetis tied a game!!! Ties are BS though and personally I would of rather lost than given up a good lead to tie. The bad news about hockey is that work says I cannot play anymore in my weekly game because the game falls on sunday- when I should be at work. It sucks, and I'm not real happy about it. We'll have to wait and see how it turns out.


Something that I am happy about is the fact that I just bought a creekboat. It's good to go, and I'm ready to fire it up. It's been long winter almost completely devoid of boating and I am ready to get in the water. The problem is I am living in wyoming and the thing about wyoming in the winter time is that there just isn't a whole lot in the way of kayakable rivers. Everything is frozen or there is no damn water in it. Were are scheming on a trip as soon as our schedules permit.


Another thing that makes me happy is the quality skiing I've been sneaking in. With a borrowed beacon and probe, and a loaner plastic shover with a hockeystick handle I have been poking my way through the woods- mostly up at the pass. My roomate has been showing me some goods and it has been awsome. A bunch of chutes to straightline, a couple cliffs, and a pretty icter von sicter ricter pillow line. Today everything was windloaded and sliding all around us. It was a bit unnerving as we were commited to running some pretty sketchy terrain, but everything that we needed to hold, held, and we made it to the bottom without incident. I did get a granite lap in last week, and that was totally out of control!!!It was soo good. But dont even worry about that because chances are you have no idea what that even means. In other snowy news, we built a jump going down the driveway. It isn't the biggest, but you can spin on it for sure, and it adds a little excitement snowboarding down to the bus stop. We still have the mini terrain park in the back, but since the money booter down the driveway the park just doesnt see as much attention.


well, thats about all I have to say right now. until next time.
