We want our body's back!

The sport of broomball certainly goes against all logic.  Running around on ice when its below zero.  Broomball is with out a doubt, the most sore muscle causing activity we seems to do.  The season just wrapped up this week and while I am sad to see it go, on the other hand, if I dont play another minute of broomball until December, I will be ok with that!  

Our beloved team, D and E Cabinets had another amazingly stellar run this year in the playoffs after a very pedestrian regular season.  D and E turned it on in February.  We lost our first playoff game and it looked like it was going to be an early exit from the playoffs with the double elimination format.  Ohh wait....., no so.  WE then ripped off 5 wins in a row, all of which with tons of pizzaz and style, and then made it all the way to the city championship.  The championship was on Wednesday night, we gave it a good run, but eventually lost 3-1 to the team that won it all last year.

Until next winter Broomball....

Park City weekend

So last weekend we had our first traveling race to Park City and it was awesome. Mostly because the kids are sweet skiers and hilarious, I got to hang with Liz and it was 3 days of amazing blue sky sunshine. I mean really, what more could you ask for?

 Even Stevie wanted to make the trip.

 Me in all my coaching glory, on the side of the hill with a radio.

 

The view from the top of the race course at Park City.

 And I got to hang with Lizard (who lives in PC), who after 5 minutes of the kids hanging with her was quickly renamed, The Crazy Cat Lady.

 

  Hanging with my girls at the start...this was right after I got my hand massages from them. Ahhh, love this job!

 

BB looking ultra-glam in my shades and her own amazing rat-nest hairdo creation.

 

After their runs, the kids would come down on the course and hang with me and Liz...I don't know, I guess they found us entertaining. Chilling here with BB and Ann.

 

Look at that hotness that is the Lizard, love that girl!

 

Did I mention it was sunny? Anything for beauty and sun protection.

 Liz ordered and received 2 cat capes for Lil' Chels and Lois and the next morning she surprised the whole van of kids by bringing Lil' Chels (decked out in her new stylish fish bone cape!) to the parking lot of the ski area for a mini fashion show cat walk! It was amazing. That didn't help her get rid of her new nickname, but we all loved the visit...love you Crazy Cat Lady!

Hot Damn....

 As previously reported in blogs gone by....., Jackson is the only place I have seen that continually under reports new snow amounts.  Friday night the Village reported 2", and I am here to say, it was knee deep up Mosquito on Saturday and freakin badass!  Easily one of the best riding days of the winter.  I mistakenly thought it wasn't going to be all world, so, I was under gunned with just my iphone.  Ohh well, here are some of the pics that I got.  

Drew and I sessioned this cornice!  

 I was actually under the cornice to get this cool shot.

 Ho hum, just another 2" pow day in the backcountry with the sleds.  You can always find good snow on a sled.

And yea, that landing was as soft as it looks!

Waitin for the weekend....

Tag team, back again...., yes, the weekend has arrived.  I was traveling all week for work, so, it seems l like the wait to sled was short this week.  Scrounged up a few more fun shots from last weekends epicness.  I normally do  all the photo taking it seems, as I love taking shots, but for a bit last weekend someone else got behind the lens and took all this posts shots of me.  I heart sledding.  

Trenches and untracked late evening goods.  

 

 Me, getting really close to Steve, his sled, and his steady camera hand.

 No photo shop necessary?  Wonder how this cool shot ended up the way it did as a stock photo?  

 Really, really, really fun, blah blah blah....Those that know, know, those that dont, well, I guess you dont know what you are missing!

I am hungry for more goodness tomorrow!

Ooops, we did it again...

 Sledding in deep pow and sun is about as much fun you can have in life in my opinion!  It's the coolest!  Another sunny day and more trenches and face shots than were countable.  

Steve, admiring the solitude and the view of the Teeters.  

 Deep trenches are kick ass, so is this view.  Shadow Mountain in the foreground. 

More and more I am getting comfortable getting the snowmobile airborne.  Of course if its three feet of fluff, I feel pretty confident launching.  Boosting a downed log.

 

Busy scene at the trailhead. 

BOOOOOOOOM

 Well....., the wait is officially over.  It snowed, and snowed a lot!  We got over 40" this week in Jackson and I did nothing but sled this entire weekend.  So, sit back, stop complaining about "nothing but snowmobiling pictures" and enjoy!  

Me, waist deep.  It was shoulder deep in places!

"Steve-0" The man, the myth, the legend.  57 years young back in the valley for more punishment.  Good to be back riding with ya partner.  

Kinda stuck.

 

 Drew, carving.....as good as it gets.  We found a new little zone up Ditch Creek.  20 minute drive from town, no crowds, and more untracked goodness than is humanly possible.

Back to the truck just as the sun was setting.

 

 Friday was the reason you own a sled.  Absolutely magical.  Blower, over the hood, amazing sunset, just you and a few buds.  One for the memory books.

Perhaps the only downside to it being so deep....., its really hard on equipment.  Fixing a blown belt. 

Hannekahm Party

The Marco Sullivan Fan Club was large and in charge last weekend for Marco kicking out of the gate first in Kitz.  Well done brother, still scoring points despite some pow skiing along the way.  You are the man!  Kick ass at the World Champs next weekend.  We are rooting hard for ya from afar.
