We've been patient long enough.

Good start, now keep it coming!

Mother Nature laid down her first coat of the frost white stuff last night. Wooohoo! Here's a pic from the base of Sugar Bowl.

C2K, powered by Hot Chillys!

If you don't know Hot Chillys, they make all kinds of great base layer clothing, and lots of us in the cabin wear their gear. When Hot Chillys heard what we've got going on with C2K, they decided to send us an awesome care package of goodies, complete with beer koozies, stickers, and enough Atomic Fireballs to keep us warm on the coldest days on the slopes!


Thanks Hot Chillys!

Check out their website. I especially like their recipes section. C2K feast anyone? You can find Hot Chillys gear around the Bay Area at stores like REI and Sports Basement.

Hitting the slopes in South America

My sister Sarah has been living in Santiago, Chile for almost two years, and we finally worked out a plan for a visit. I traveled down there with Beck, one of my other sisters. (My last sister Kimi already started Fall semester at NYU, so she couldn't come.)

It was a long haul to get down there, and the day we arrived, we started a 14 hour bus trip from Santiago to Bariloche, Argentina. Bariloche was well worth the trip. The geography around town reminded me a little of Tahoe...huge crystal clear lake ringed by snow-capped mountains. Town was friendly and fun, and home to countless chocolate shops we discovered. The skiing was good too. Definitely spring conditions down there, and it felt a little strange to be above the tree line the whole time.

After five days in Bariloche, we returned to Santiago for five more days. We explored the city a bit, and skied another day at one of the local mountains. Side-trips to Valparaiso and Puerto Varas were a fun way to see a little more of the country.

Here's a slideshow of pics from our trip!

It's snowing ... a lot

68,898 vertical feet of fresh tracks

Heli-skiing in the Bugaboo Mountains in British Columbia was absolutely epic. From start to finish, the weather cooperated, the group was a blast, the staff and facilities were top-notch, and the skiing surpassed my highest expectations.

Here's a pic of me blasting through three feet of powder yesterday!



We took a whole bunch of pics and video on the trip, so have a look!

Getting soooo spoiled

The skiing up here in the Bugaboos with CMH is absurdly incredible. Wow.
