Skiing On My Mind

So,  I was just remembering some of my first Alta turns.  Nick and I did laps under the Germania Lift all day UNBELIEVABLE!!!  We were blown away.  Powder conditions, great pitch, and tons of fun.  I actually think Fred’s Trees is the only run we skied all day.

Later that day, Jesse, a Peruvian employee who had been around for a few years, said , a little sarcastically, “you guys really like Fred’s trees, huh?”  I remember thinking, “Yeah, they were sick, where were you sucka.”        As Freshman year continued into a full Graduate Program at UofA, I continued to be schooled in the Alta Goods.  Fred’s trees was literally the tip of the iceberg.  I am a bit older and wiser now, but always plenty to learn.  Hoping to go back for the Doctorate sooner than later!!!!

Now this is arguably better than skinning up Mt. Washington

So I just ran across this link to http://www.snogression.com on FB.  Pretty cool.  An indoor training center for ski tricks.  Practice your 360′s to corked 12′s to screamin’ seamin’s.  How sweet is that.  Year-round, doing tricks on your skis.  I’m intrigued.  Must have been a pretty hefty investment for the foam (or whatever you are sliding on).  Anyway, I believe this is brand new, out of SLC, so check it out.

Okay. I’m there. This happens every fall. In fact, sometimes it happens mid-summer, or even late spring.
I am ready to go skiing. Damn, I love this time of year. The days are getting shorter, the temperature is dropping and the leaves are starting to change. “Hoodie Season.”
Nothing better than putting on your favorite hoodie, and getting your winter hat collection out of the crate in your basement. And even more importantly, it is “ski movie premiere season.”
I’ve already been looking up the different ski movie premiere’s in the area. No better way to get fired up for the season. Seriously!
Sometime I’ll have to do an entry on the best ski movie premiere that I have ever been to. It was a Last Day Productions film; “LIFESTYLE.” Completely crazy, unbelievable, and ridiculous.
Check out the latest Meatheads Film premiering soon…
