Quick CO Break

This post is to mark the start of a new direction for the blog. Enough moopy tears on the shoulder. Lets talk about teh stuff that matters. Adventure.

I am in Colorado for a week to watch some football and breath the thin air I love so much. Now that I have been living in the Tahoe area for a summer, I really miss the big mountains. You just cant really get the same views and dreams of "one days" anywhere else. The Sawatch are just so beautiful. But with the size comes much more serious consequences.

I am happy to be in a coastal snowpack while I am still getting my BC feet under me. And there is talk of a lot of snow falling. So it wont be all bad. I just neeed to get some good partners, and also find some personal motivation. I have a big interia problem when I am doing stuff solo.

So the plan: 1)be a ski bum working at Sugar Bowl 2) ski 100+ days 3) shovel the driveway... alot! 4) save money 5) keep looking for more permanent work


And now teh yearly list of goals. So while these goals over lap with the above plan (a good thing) they deserve some of ther own space.

2009/10 winter goals:

1) No injuries.
2)100+ days total, 20+ days in sidecountry, 20+ days in the true backcountry.
3) Learn a back-flip.
4) Train Luke to be a damn good snow dog.
5) Get my Avy 1 and hopefully Avy 2 certs.
6) Learn some trade tricks with Patrol.
7) Make a good decision to not ski that tempting avy slope.
8) Save money in everyway possible.
9) Face Shots!!!
10) Take some deep breaths and enjoy what I am given.



Alright, so that is a bunch to do, but it can be done. For now teh fall season is beggin me to go out and do something. Cold, crisp, and empty. A wonderful time of year.
