Terrain park @ Sol Vista 2/16/09

Here are some pics taken from the terrain park at Sol Vista.



Frontside boardslide taken too early (didn't get the full turn until the last part of the rail)..














Just stomping out a straight air.


















Boardslide.

















Another boardslide with most of the board hanging off.













One more straight air.

Entering downtown Winter Park. Ski resort in the background.













The front range to the left, ski resort to the right.













Winter Park ski hill.. Vasquez ridge are the runs on the right side. Parsenn bowl above that.

Sol Vista Night Skiing 2/14/09

Here are some pics from Sol Vista at the beginning of their night skiing session.



I love this pic.

Still light out.. That changes quickly.




































Looking down at Base Camp One





































Sunset over the west mountain




































Gotta include myself in pics every once and a while.















































3 runs lit for night skiing... Wisconsin spoiled me with being able to ski at night. It only happens once every 2 weeks out here.

2/12/09 Coors Brewery Tour

Went to Golden, Colorado to visit and tour the Coors brewery. The tour was more informative than the Miller tour but my heart still lies in Milwaukee breweries.

Mountain brewery. Tap the Rockies

The main tour building.


















Coors... Whoops!!! Miller-Coors!!!


















I.D.'ed and ready to roll.

The kettles

More kettles. They did have more brew kettles than what you see at Miller.

Roasting the barley.

Not really sure what this was. I think it was the thing that filters out everything down to 1 micron!

It's Miller time! I mean Coors time.

Some randoms

Here are a couple random pics I never posted.


Me, Mindy, Milutin, and Carolina at Steamboat on Christmas day. A day filled with festive waist deep pow and listening to Trans Syberian Orchestra in the parking lot Gnar-Gating (think tailgating meets the ski hill)






















Get creative and jib anything you can. Boardslide on Milutin and Zlatko's old car.

Central City/Blackhawk gambling 2/8/09

Decided to go to Center City/Blackhawk for the first time to experience gambling at 8000 feet above sea level. Well, the towns had their small mountain charm with small-medium casinos occupying every building.



A frozen waterfall along I-70


















The turn off of I-70 towards Central City.


















That's it! Central City!














Every building is a small casino in Central City.


















Entering Black Hawk



















Blackhawk through a cracked windshield.

























They are adding onto the Ameristar casino by building this huge (by mountain town standards) hotel addition.





















First stop.
























Blackhawk's casinos are a little bigger and more modern than Central City.

























Inside, wait, where are we again?
























The poker room was packed!

















This little casino sucked!!! Drink service was terrible.






















Inside the Ameristar casino.























Zeus took my money.. Damn greek gods!





















Another shot inside of Ameristar






















Outside Ameristar, see the new hotel in the left corner?






















The Lodge? Forgot which one exactly this was.






































Yep, just like Vegas! Wait, I win in Vegas!
