stupid back...

Posted January 31, 2011

Bear with me for a minute here.  I'm going to rant.

Sunday morning as I sat at the kitchen table eating perfectly cooked sunny-side up eggs, something unwound in my back.  Like a spring un-sproinging itself, I could feel things slowly go south.  Despite immediately going to lie down and get the pre…

Bike Magazine, cameras and other miscellaneous items

Posted January 25, 2011

Well, I managed to make the presses again.  Bike has published my haiku and praise of their alliteration.  Of course as an avid reader of my blog, you already know what I sent them (if you're new, just go here to read my original post).  This is the second time Bike has published one of my letters…

Pole Whacking

Posted January 23, 2011

Alright.  If you've been paying attention and done your homework, you will know exactly what the title of this post is referring to.  If not, go back and read my A.S.D. post and do the assigned homework, then come back.

OK. 

Done?

Good.

Now, this weekend Tree and I went back to Mt. Cain.  There …

A.S.D.

Posted January 19, 2011

A.S.D.  An acronym I fully intend all of my dedicated readers, all 16 of you, to become very familiar with.

A.S.D. stands for "Awesome Surplus Disorder".  In this day and age it is a rather rare condition, and revolves around a persons desire for "awesomeness" in their life.  It is pretty much the …

I like Bacon!

Posted January 13, 2011

I like this! I mean, who doesn't like bacon?  I've even heard that some former vegetarians came back because of bacon!

I have to admit, I didn't create the image you see below, I kind of "borrowed" it from a bulletin board I post at (too much).  I should probably ask permission, but I am sure the a…

STOKED!

Posted January 9, 2011

Wow - I'm still stoked.  I only skied three runs today, but I have to say I have probably  never been more satisfied after a day of skiing.  Run #1 - groomer from the top of Mount Cain to the bottom.  Run #2 - we headed into the East Bowl and watched a group ski the Dream Chute, then headed down …

I'm off to Mount Cain again for the weekend, but before I go and leave you all with nothing to ponder, here is a follow up to my "death" post.

As it is the time of year most people make their New Year's resolutions, all to often broken, I have a challenge for you all.  It's a simple one - I call it …

Binders!

Posted January 5, 2011

I first started back country or "apine tour" skiing three seasons ago (2008-09) and have been hooked ever since.  BC skiing has some appealing similarities to mountain biking, in that for the most part you earn your turns.  I like that.  There is also a certain sense of adventure to it all, as you a…

Daisey's

OK - last one.  I have to put a little promo vid together for Mount Cain's site, but that's it.

Up next, I will do a quick review of the G3 Onyx Alpine Touring binding...probably next week...

I'm off to Forbidden Plateau tomorrow morning, Mt Washington with my Son Thursday and Cain all weeken…

Happy New Year!

First off, to my dedicated nine readers, my apologies for not warning you of my impending absence.  I had a trip to Mount Cain booked and after a rockin party Christmas Eve, I was in no shape to post anything coherent Christmas Day.

Tree and I headed up Boxing Day and were greeted b…
