You know there isn't much going on when I'm throwing another spectacular update at you within a week.
Innocent rock skimming fun, who needs crack?After 5 days of half-strength beer, no fresh snow or blue skies, failed brakes and numerous trips to Victoria's Secret, it was well past time to check out of the SLC. Stu and CP delivered me right to the plane door and took off, making certain they got me out of their hair after a month of Monster-fuelled non-stop Ponzio draining the life out of them. Thanks guys, hope the drive home was productive.
Not as hot as a Stu Macqueen abs shot, but still worth a look.So, after a 7 year hiatus, I'm now back in Tahoe and pretty stoked about it. Instantly I was reminded why I loved it here, the natural beauty and feel of the area are pretty special (sorry if that makes you vomit in your mouth a little bit). First day, Liam Kaska, Tom Pelley and I went for a quick slide at Northstar, which on the surface was almost unrecognisable from my days working there. Massive transformation has turned it from the quaint little family resort to a major ritzy destination. With no expansion of ridable terrain, I shudder to imagine the crowds after the incredible increase in on-mountain accomodation and parking. That kind of stuff doesn't worry Tom though, who jibbed the shit out of every natural hit in his path, making me feel very old in the process.
Kaska can't walk on water, yet.
Cohen, beholding the beauty.But, enough of that trash, yesterday we saw a coyote. Cruising around in search of spots, we saw a large dog-like figure cross the road and casually cruise around peoples' houses hoping for a dinner invite. It always stokes me out getting a closeup of wildlife we don't have back home. It's been a good trip that way; on the way to SLC we saw a group of bighorn sheep beating the hell out of each other right by the I-70, then we almost killed that deer right in the middle of SLC, somewhere in Breckenridge a squirrel ran along my snowboard and sat my feet checking me out, old mate Foxy gave us the ice-smashing with his head display, and then the coyote. Good times, forget snowboarding, it's all about the animals.
Spot the sccavenger.
