Holiday Powder!

So the Holiday Season is upon us. Merry Christmas everyone!

The past couple of weeks have been the epitome of early season training. Not a lot of snow on the ground and the backcountry has just been a little too dangerous to really do anything of great fun so we have been in conditioning mode for winter. Well it seems to have finally hit this week!

This year's Winter Solstice decided to make sure it would be noticed and remembered as a day that still holds clout when the Solstice graced us with a foot of new snow, the weather gurus estimated 3" - 5". Love it when they are wrong like this, bless their hearts, he he. Winter is full on now with bell to bell face shots accompanied with burning quads fueled by whoots and hollers. The sounds of "so sick" and "hell yeah" were echoed all day in between shit eating grins and experiences that make us remember that life is meant to be lived to it's fullest. Can't wait to experience this with my kids! :-)

Some how Brad Biolo and I managed to be one step ahead of the crowd this particular day and while everyone was waiting around for chairs to open we happened to be getting first tracks in all the zones we were hitting. Making a few laps, never crossing a track, and then head to a new lift just as they were opening it. Make a few more virgin laps and then on to the next lift, that was the progress of the entire day until around 3:30pm the quads, glutes and calves screamed for forgiveness. OK, time to rest and fuel up there is always tomorrow!

This past few weeks also saw new product being delivered from sponsors. Core Concepts shipment came in and I must say that this year's line is SICK! Diggin the new Entourage and the changes to the Stripes sweater are bomber. Again every piece is well made and stylie. Don't forget that you can get all of their products at 50% off when you go to www.corelayers.com and enter code "jturn50" upon check out. Use it up and tell your friends too!

Mystery Ranch Backpacks also has made sure that my travel and adventures would be well organized with new travel bags and accessories. Check them out at www.mysteryranch.com, guaranteed to be the BEST hand made backpacks and bags you have ever used!The Spandura line is killer and really stoked on my One Man Duffel!

All right enough for now...

P.S. There will be a Jamie Pierre Memorial Fundraiser for the wife of the late Jamie Pierre, Aimee, and their kids Clementine and Royal. Please contribute and help with some form generosity for this incredible woman and her kids!!!

Merry Christmas and Face Shots to All.
