Busy Times

I thought I would just post that we've been busy. Right now we are tearing apart the mudroom and turning it into the washroom /(slash)/ nice entry way to the house. I only have 2×6's in the ceiling area, and I would like to put in some fancy recessed lighting… It's hard to find a good compact recessed lighting can. I came across these however: http://creelighting.com/LR6.htm

I am thinking about do it. They use so little energy! Speaking of energy, you have got to try this:

 Goji Bliss (Coconut Butter w/Goji Berries), Raw, Organic, 8 oz.

YUMMMMM!

Welp, I'm hitting the sack.

Kevin O’Meara takes 2nd Place US Freeskiing Snowbird

I just want to shout out a “big up!” for Kevin O’Meara, riding Praxis Skis, taking second at Snowbird this year, 2008. The US Freeskiing Series is rad to watch and even more rad to compete in. Kevin’s been killing it for the last 3 season’s, taking finishes in every comp he enters. So here’s to you man! Take 1st at Kirkwood!

We hit Jackson Hole with 18″ Plus of Fresh

Jackson Hole Looking at Sublet Chair

14.5 hours there, 14.5 hours back. That’s all it takes. It’s about 2 good audio books or 5 live Grateful Dead shows, both sets. We had other music though. Oh, don’t ever bother to listen to The Broker on audio CD, it’s terrible.

We followed the USFreeskiing tour out to watch and support our buddy Kevin O’Meara. Too much fog or cloud layer on the hill for the first couple days of the comp, so we didn’t get to see him run. Kevin ended up in 10th overall.

The first day we skied it was about 6″ of dust on crust. Coming from the Sierra’s, the snow is LIGHT. The following day, the “heavy” day we had, with 18″ of fresh reported, was amazing. Even thought I’ll take an 18″ Sierra powder day, any day, over the light snow in Jackson it was super fun to get face+ shots. The terrain in the image to the left is below Sublet chair. Sick terrain!, but alas, it was closed. You do hit rocks there. Just gotta be light on the skis you know!

Below is a video that we shot on the way out with my digital camera. Each clip is 30 seconds, then it’s all sped up 1000% and put to Immaculate Machine’s Jarhand. The song is funny with the little, didoodidoo diiidooodidooo keyboard part.
