Down Days
It’s 10 am. I’m exhausted; too much Lotza and a bad run in with some Russians. But we’re laughing, and that’s what matters. I lie in bed post-breakfast debating what to do with the day. It snowed 3 feet in Centenje, the town just over the low coastal mountains that we visited yesterday. We nearly …read the rest
Vacation Hangover
I guess I can’t pretend like I’m on vacation anymore. I’ve unpacked, done laundry, gone to work, gone to the grocery store (three times?) and driven up LCC twice. Yup. I’m officially done with vacation, even the jetlag has subsided. I don’t have anymore excuses for my absence from here. Sigh. Australia was amazing. …read the rest

Changing Pace
A week ago, I was surfing in Bali with five of the best girls I could wish to go on vacation with, Saturday, I basked in the Salt Lake sun on my mountain bike, and Monday, I skied ten inches of powder at Snowbird. The crazy variety in my playing isn’t the only thing that …read the rest
A Hint of Spring
It’s snowing in the Wasatch. Not just snowing, dumping and my facebook newsfeed is spewing “best powder day of the year”, “sooo deep at Alta”, and “waist deep? Hell yeah!” every five minutes or so. What am doing on facebook? Well, obviously, I’m not skiing. In fact, I’m so far away from the Little Cottonwood …read the rest
