Winter Is Rolling In

Last weekend Sara and I made our first trip up to Tahoe this season. One lift was spinning and conditions were not perfect but we still had a blast! So great to strap on the boards, ride the lifts and chase each other down the hill. Looking forward to many more runs this season.

I'm heading out for a shoot but the storms are lining up. Get some if you can! Ill be back for more soon.

Black Beauty

This morning I sold my car.  I have bought and sold a lot of cars in the last 16 years.  I loved every single one of them.  They all had personalities.  They all took me and my friends to great places.  And they all were down for an adventure.

I had black beauty for four years.  Four amazing years.  I bought her with 74K and sold her with 123K.  In the last four years she made countless trips to Tahoe.  She was buried by many a snowstorms in Yosemite.  I towed a fullsize Chevy out of a snowbank and blew an old man's mind.  She took Chris and I over washboard roads DEEP in baja.  She even cleaned up and parked between all the Lexus, Porsches and BMWs on the CBS lot.

Good bye black beauty.  Thank you for all the fun!

Storms

Storms have been getting a pretty bad name lately thanks to a beezee named Sandy.  Well, Sandy's cool latino cousin El Nino is rolling back into town to restore the family name.  Here are three videos to remind you that winter is coming and storms are good.

An amazing video capturing the fun of storm skiing.

My favorite ad ever.  I still quote it whenever I get the chance.  "Maybe the rain hates you."


Turn up the volume.  This dude is stoked.

One for the weekend

I recently was told that in 1973 Bob Dylan wrote the chorus to the song Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show.  Amazing but not surprising.  Thanks to the amazing network of pipes and tubes we call the internet I have found the recording.  Just a reminder that you were not here first and you won't be here last and greatness has no age.  Here's a hot tune for the weekend.
