Sled Headn'

Digging deep, who cares if the snowpack was meager enough to be churning up dirt!

150 horses of power throttling.

The Season Is Upon Us

We don't have a ton of snow, but last weekend we managed to get out and go for a ride up on the Continental Divide at almost 10,000ft on top of Togwotee Pass about an hour drive from town. There was was enough to play around in the wind deposited meadows. Super stoked to get out and be on the sled again.

Chels, a budding sledneck?

Yep, snowpack is shallow, and probably going to be almost gone by the end of this week with temps in the mid 50's, but sleddin' the first day of November is sweet no matter what the conditions.

Good Times

Good times were had all around on Halloween, of course. We went to Sarah and Jim's for a little pre-party celebration which turned into Beer Pong Fest '09. My attempt at a costume was to be the Big Bad Wolf and Trevor could be Little Red Riding Hood, but for some reason he opted out of that great idea to be Marco Polo. So I decided I was a Wild Thing instead. It works right?

The Wild Thing and Marco Polo, what a pair!

Allison and her little baby penguin, Oliver, stole the party

Jim, dressed as "gross" and Sarah, a lovely candy corn, prepped their team for some tough competition on the pong table.

Miss Candy Corn and Tracy the Biker Chic, don't those tats look scarily real?

Ted, dressed I think as a dumbass, and Brian Hager as scary substitute teacher guy.

And don't forget Jason "Chicken Dinner" Rolfe...sorry camera battery died after this, so that is all the debauchery you get to see!

In Between Seasons?

A little late starting the wood supply this fall. Spent today over at my bud Jim's property downing trees. We aren't lucky enough to have a wood stove in our tiny little apartment, but I like to have a good stock of wood for camping in the summer.

A little fuzzy, taken going 60 out the window, but this is what we affectionately call "The Ribbon". Jackson Hole has started making snow, ski season is coming soon.

Cody picked up his new sled today. It's the bombdotcom

Getting ready for winter

Stevie has been preparing for winter spending lots of time in his new hideout under the pillow. He burrows underneath and literally will spend hours and hours sleeping the day away. Slightly jealous I am.

New Boards

Did I read somewhere that if you make out with a new pair of skis it will bring lots of snow? I am obviously willing to give it a try.

And we ran a half marathon!

The before shot, 5:00am and getting ready to head to Union Square in San Fran to meet up with 20,000 other women (and a handful of guys) for the Nike Women's Marathon! Mindy, my mom, Liz and me.

The AFTER shot, successful and exhausted finishers...way to go ladies!

The after marathon celebration with Mindy, Liz and Megan...food!

Berta and Mindy. Enjoying San Fran and some Mexican food with our great host!

Mindy's no longer a trolley virgin.

Of course we hit Ghiradelli Square too.

Alcatraz in the distance.

I realized I really enjoy hanging out of trolleys, it was scaring Mindy to death!

Wrapping up our trip with a pic of Mindy and our nice trolley driver, Mel.
He said we made his day.
