Haven't gone on a bender like this in a while. The shotski at work has taken things over the edge. The real christmas miracle is going to be my liver making it through the week.

I got my final grades back and not only have I managed to keep my scholarship for another semester but I got the A in the class I was trying to impress the prof. Looking forward to next semester, optics lab in the morning and Bridger in the afternoon is the stuff dreams are made of.

I really want to ski with you but at the same time I'm pretty sure you'd be the type of guy to shotgun 7 beers before dropping into spanskys ladder and breaking something...

Haha well lets rip Spankys together if we are here at the same time. That is the one part of the mountain I wish I knew a little better I haven't quite figured out the primo lines and drops and sort of follow tracks in there.

Im too big to ski anything difficult after I drink even if its only 1 beer or a shot from a flask I'll cramp and feel shitty hate mixing booze with skiing/hiking. I'll get drunk mid day bc the pow is skiied out and cruise down the green after but thats it. Most of the cliffs I huck these days are done so unintentionally in pow too I wish I was just a tiny bit less of a pussy especially b/c I don't usually land 10-20+ft drops when I easily could stomp them but Im like 'oh shit' and airborne unexpectedly and I stop and slow down right before the cliff when I shouldnt when I do have the balls to hit one on purpose.

I need a bad ass ski chick to follow to get better and bigger balls.

Now if we are talking a little bit of good cocaine on a pow day I'll definitely do some before dropping in....

My brothers cool and all but holy shit he gets irritates so badly by average things. On our way to get food someone rides his ass, immediately puts the bird out the window and drives like he's Lewis Hamilton or some shit and it happens so often and the rest of the car ride he's a little bitch. Maybe he lowkey has ass burgers

I work at mid-mtn at one of the resorts in PC and its been a literal blizzard since I got here at 12:30. Its now a few notches after 6 and there isnt an end in sight. Easily 6-10"+ through the day, blowing snow, huge drifts, etc. Theyve closed our road from town down at least 3 times today to get it clear so we'll see how it goes getting off at 10 tonight lol. Another two feet or so expected tonight thru all day tomorrow, Really do want to get after it but honestly it just might be a bit too gnarly out there, but we'll see.

Same boat here, UAC and UDOT will be doing avy control in the cottonwoods all morning and probably wont open it up till at least 9am, probably 9:30 more realistically. Combine that with all the people in town, everyone thats local thats off school/work, and a few other circumstances, it could be a massive shitshow. It was the deepest snow of my life last year but it took me at least 4-5 hours to make what should be a 50-60min drive even when it does snow and i get all stressed out over that shit.

I love it when it dumps but i also get anxious as fuck all like "will i be able to shred this snow?" and shit.

Skiied springlike conditions at my hill today... in December haha. Yesterday was sort of Icy and way too crowded to really ski. But today it was soooooo nice to really carve and fuck around. God, I never thought I'd be so stoked about skiing in the rain(: hahah. Hopefully there's enough of a base that the rain wont completely wipe it out and we'll get another day in tomorrow. If not, it was a solid 2 days. Hopefully winter comes and stays soon! Life makes sense again (:

I broke my boots over thanksgiving break and have been trying to get them warrantied, but since I couldn't bring them into my bootfitter in Colorado he told me to ship them to salomon myself. So I shipped them, but I got a message in my tracking saying they couldn't be delivered and a note was left. But I did some google-ing and the address that my bootfitter gave me is a different address than salomon's Utah offices. So now I'm hoping that the random real estate company that got the missed delivery notice doesn't pick them up from the post office and I will never be able to get my boots warrantied. God this has been such a shitshow and now I don't know if I will even have boots before I have to get on a plane and go back to Montana for school

call the real estate office and tell them it was a mistake and not to pick them up! Then tell the post office and they'll get them back to you asap!

I'm currently waiting for my bootfitter to call me back today to see if I should try to send to a different address or if I should just have them sent back to me. I paid like $30 to ship them so having to just ship them back to me would suck.

I woke up at 7am today to see that Heavenly got 36" overnight.. Having never skied California before, I was expecting blower pow like Utah/CO, but was greeted with the heaviest, wettest, mashed potato snow I've ever encountered. Still a fun day, but definitely somewhat disappointing.

You've never heard of sierra cement have you? it takes quite a bit to ski, but once you adapt it's pure fun! :)

Haha I've heard of sierra cement but today I truly learned what it actually consisted of.. I still had a blast, but I definitely wished I had fatter skis.

On a related note, I'm so stoked to ski Squaw tomorrow. I'm meeting up with my old race coach who is a crazy good skier and knows the mountain really well. My only concern is being able to keep up.
