After a few runs we hung out in the lot for a quick tail gate party

After work yesterday Melanie and I went out around town to practice portrait shots. On Thursday I will be taking a group shot of the management team from the new Vail Mountain Club.  So wish me luck!

After shooting all afternoon we had Nick and Jen over for Fundue night at our place. 

Good Morning Vail! We just got a couple of inches of snow up in the mountains.  But looks like great indian summer for the rest of the week!

Last Friday Jeremy, Spencer and I met up at the Edwards skate park to make some turns.
