Nice sunrise out the front window this morning.

We made to here, got snow pants on, put our boots on, helmets, and then my wife realized she didn't bring a coat.... to go skiing....

Just spent the week boarding over in the North Italian Alps...Cervinia. By far the best boarding I have ever done.

You might recognize that bad boy to the right. That is the actual Matterhorn. Disneyland ain't got sht on this!!!

This weekend we spent Saturday at Winter Park, then went up to the Grand Lodge at Peak 7 at Breckenridge where we were staying for the night, and then skied Breck on Sunday.

With a sign like that the BBQ is required to be good

For those of you that haven't had the opportunity to ski a double black in the Rocky Mountains...

This is what they look like

DBESTGTI, you torture all of us with your weekend adventures. Colorado seems more and more tempting every time you post.

I'm finally going to go skiing this season over mlk weekend. Probably stick to groomed runs and a couple park laps since snow cover is looking weak.

Using Colorado to make people jealous... it's what I do. Today I get to mock friends and family back home (Chicago) because their windchill this morning was -40 and here in Boulder it was mid 50's.

Tomorrow night were headed back to Breck and staying there and skiing Copper on Saturday.

All ski trips have been placed on hold. More co workers are leaving and I switched to nights. I may not make it this year.

I'm salivating. Skiing on sheets of ice is fun and all but that snow looks divine.

Nice pictures above!

Does anyone have experience with Hertel's 'super hot sauce' (all-temp wax)? Any other recommendations for an all-temp wax?
