Space Between Trees

OK. Here are the highlights. Let's try to save words here. - Headed up on Thursday night with Big Air. Skipped worked on Thursday.

Jay currently has a deeper base than Steamboat. We did a real fun gang run down Expo and Expo glades at the end of the day. We looked like a Warren Miller movie scene. Those types of runs are always fun. - Very rusty on the first few runs on Friday. New board felt clunky. - First day on my new Board (Custom X 158). Definitely felt short compared to my old 160.

And probably better because the ground is definitely more frozen. For the first run, I was a bit rusty. So it wasn't the most enjoyable run. Also, timbuk had already been beat up a bit. So I met up with the some other skiers and we decided to hike over to powerline for our second run, because the entire main side of the mountain was closed so we were sure to get some fresh pow over there. Powerline was the shit. Definitely ...
