Today Jamie and I decided to buckup and ride Vail Mtn today. And after we decided to do it, it was so worth it. Every run from Simba Run to Blue Sky the lines were so fresh. Now It's time to go to work.

Here's our next system, let the games begin.

Today was my first day off in awhile. I have been really busy with work and dealing with Mexico City in town for the Holiday. I went Cross Skiing today for the first time this season a realized I really want to get into Skate Skiing. The cross country planks I have are traditional style. Well maybe next Year.

And when I looked out my window all day today, all I saw was white.

Tasha was loving all that Pow today

Today on my dog walk we walked through Lions Head and saw how busy it was there for the holiday week. Suckers!

This is how we roll here in Vail Christmas Eve. Nicole and Veronika had a Christmas Party at there place, and to the looks of it we all had a great time together!

Today after I went snowboarding with friends I took Tasha and Peanut on a hike up behind my place. The weather today was once again warmer than usual. Tonight being the Eve Nicole and Veronika are having friends over there place for a little get together. The the Euro's of the Sonnenalp are going to have a snowbar party at Solar Vail.

Merry Christmas to all from Tasha and Friends

Today I went to Mtn Wave sports in Breckenridge to get my new board boots. So since I was in Breck I decided to ride there new chair lift called Imperial Lift. The views were so spectacular up there.

You are looking at the highest lift in North America in Breckenridge CO.

Today Dan and I hiked up Ptarmigan Ridge to hit this really nice kicker. The run in was kinda weak, but the landing was waist deep pow. Temperatures are a bit warmer than it suppose to be at 41 degrees at the base of the Mtn. Hopefully the weather cools off.

After I got out of work today I was walking into town and had to take this picture of the Mtns from Vail village to put on my blog. I later ended up meeting up with Nick for a pitcher at Los Amigos deck, then later ended up eat at La Cantina for dinner.

Here's a picture of the front entrance looking out of the Sonnenalp, depicting how much snow we got.

So here's a picture of Nick who broke his snow board yesterday. Thank God that Burton has the best warrenty in the world.

After I got out of work tonight, Tasha and I went to play in the snow. This snow storm we got later today was amazing. On my walk home, I thought I needed snow shoes. I hope the town of Vail plows the walks ways for my commute to work tomorrow morning.

Here's Nick and Ryan taking a little break on the slopes of Vail. Today Ryan finally made it out with the boyz to make some quality turns. The snow was great today, but the visibility was crap. Afterwards Ryan and I drove to his place in East Vail to find out his hot tube was out of commission.

Today Jamie and I rode a mellow day on the moutain together. The snow was really good in some areas. Tonight the forcast calls for 6 to 8 plus inches of snow.

Me hitting the secret money booter.

Jamie dropping it like it's hot in Pump House territory.

I woke up this morning to a beatiful sunrise over the mountains of Vail with the clouds kinda lingering over the base of town. Today I rode with Jamie, Nick, Spencer, and Shaun. We spent the whole day on the frontside of the mountain and made this really big jump. At the end of the day we all went to La Cantina, meeting Len, Brian, and Cali to eat and drink some great Margaritas!!!

This is what happens if you go big the night before at the bars in Vail.

Here's a picture of our hip kicker we built, in a secret location on the moutain. And yes it throws ya!!!

This picture is the morning crew of Spencer, Len, and Nick. Later that day we met up with Shaun and Jamie. The new snow was deep at 9 plus inches. The weather was super cold but really sunny. Tomorrow the wind chill values are going to be between -18 to -28 F below.

Here's a little step up jump we made up to the kid shack.

It snowed like crazy last night. As of 8am this morning the clouds are moving out and the High Pressure is moving in for great weather today, but still cold at 11 degress F.

After a long hard day of work my boys and I went out to dinner to celebrate to best snow ever. Tomorrow will be a powder day and I'll show everyone on my next blog. FYI in this picture I did not down that bottle of Soy.

Here is the mystery animal of the day. I have never seen one of these before. But I got the opportunity to see one today on my hike with Tasha. Today I went to work very early in the morning, which ended up in a very busy day. After I got out of work Tasha and I went for a hike behind my place to enjoy the nice weather.

The is the side view of our new wing at the Sonnenalp.
