torn ligaments.

so yesterday i decided to fall off of a box in freeway directly to my shoulder. the result is a seperated shoulder and possibly the end of my season.

on a brighter note, found out yesterday that erin and i are going to live in Madison, WI this summer.

oh yeah, lack of posts...life isn't too exciting, just snowboarding every day :) (up until the recent injury)

What you know about that?

Fun photos

busy

picture credit is brian. good times have been had here in breck. snow is on the way. so, that is it for the update, sorry for the lack there of. lots of work has equaled a lack of snowboard progression. a new video should be coming soon featuring the iowa kids. for now here is a video that is a bit older...

blizzard.

so, colorado is getting a lot of snow right now. which means it is time for lots of fun on the slopes. yesterday john, foot and I rode until we caught last chair and enjoyed fresh snow all day. good times. here's hoping that there will be no lesson for me today (i am an instructor) and can ride to my heart's content.

the only downside about all of this snow is it kept erin from visiting. i miss that girl.

weekly posting.

we rode today at vail. Dave (above) had the great idea to hike into the backcountry. the result of our hour long hike/traverse was seriously amazing snow. we jumped off a cliff and it was lots of fun. however, the excitement did not end when we left vail. on the way home john managed to put his Blazer in a ditch. luckily, Coloradorans are super helpful and drive suburbans equipped with these.

sometimes not smart is fun

so we (dave, brian, bean, roo, geraldo and me) went to ride loveland for the first time a couple of nights ago during a full moon. given that good times were bound to be had no matter what, the lack of preparation made it super fun. after our one run we found a bump on the side of the road and ten minutes later it was a kicker. showing his usual approach, geraldo hit the jump at least 20x more than everyone else.

more good snow.

The number of powder days I have been able to ride seems to be increasing at an amazing rate. Today was a short day due to crashes, illness and crowds. However, it wasn't without some fresh tracks. Brian and I hiked off of chair six at Breck where we were able to ride some very good snow. Above is a picture of Brian enjoying some fresh turns.
