12/10/08 Breaking in the box

After much anticipation, the day finally came. The box we have set up outside of where we live is ready to ride... Ben, Cory, and myself decide we are the lucky ones to break it in...


Hard work pays off.


















Who's gonna ride first?















Paper, Rock, Scissors.


















Cory riding 50/50














Ben riding 50/50 coming straight at me.


















Ready to drop in... Still need more snow...


















My turn.


















Locked in and riding.














Now time for a soft landing.

12/7/08 Zephyr lift opens to top of Winter Park

The Zephyr lift opened which takes you from the base of Winter Park (9000 Elev) to the top which is 10700ft. This lift also allows access to trails that take you to the Olympia Express lift and the Eskimo Express.

About 400 feet higher than base.

Lower Hughes run is to the left.

They're getting ready to open this run soon.

Getting higher.

Made it... Look familiar mom and dad? This is where we had Thanksgiving dinner (well, the restraunt behind me in this pic anyways)

Then you ride down March Hare to Jaberwocky and take the Olympia Express lift back up to get to the access of Mary Jane.

12/4/08 Pow Day @ Winter Park

Thank God for snow... Winter Park was blessed with 9 inches of fresh Gnar.... Gotta take advantage, you know it doesn't snow much out here in Colorado.

12/3/08 Burning wood piles on ground

A view of all the wood piles burning

S'mores anyone?

Maybe roast some hot dogs?

Or not.

Anyone wanna get closer to cook on an open flame?
