Living the Dream

First day of my new routine. Woke early and took Gibson out to play. The wind was wicked and the sky was pitch black and cloudy. Afterwards, we cooked some breakfast (pancakes of course).Then I got ready to go skiing. Kim took the day to get used to the altitude so she stayed home to watch Gibson and get some work done. I put on my ski boots and threw my Seth Pistols over my shoulder and walked the two blocks to Clark's Market where I can pick up the free shuttle to the mountain. I got to the mountain just before the lifts opened and slipped into the nonexistent line at the Silver Queen lift. Flew up to the top in no time (high speed detachables are a good thing) and dropped down to the High Lift t-bar. I figured my first run at CB should be something marked "Extreme Terrain" so I sidestepped up to the top of the Headwall and cranked out a bunch of turns down some 50 degree chute. Very cool. Basically the rest of my day was much the same with lots of trips to the two t-bars that access the extremes. I only dropped one small 10 footer today as the snow was a little hard and there are lots of exposed rocks. I did get one sick straightline in out in Teocalli Bowl which definitely satisfied my afternoon adrenal jones. Ok, enough skiing details.

I took the bus back to town and found the house empty. I guess Kim met up with a neighbor who has a lab puppy named Bode and he and Gibson were off playing in the part of town called the Poop Loop. She didn't have the camera with her but here are a couple of shots she took downtown.
