OK. Here are the highlights. Let's try to save words here.
- Headed up on Thursday night with Big Air. Skipped worked on Thursday. Wanted to get some pow before the crowds.
- Met Jaba and Payne, who also headed up on Thursday night.
- Typical Friday at Jay. No Lines. Lots of Pow.
- Met with Jeremy, Brian, Kathleen early in the morning. Later in the day, we met up with them again and Jeremy's brother Kyle, who was visiting from Steamboat. 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. But by the end of the day, it felt very natural and I stopped being concerned with it. The new board is going to be Jibtastic! Should I add a Malalo to the quiver??
- Looping the Orchards. These were the best runs of the weekend. Didn't even mind the Corona highway.
- First Dip run of the season. I'm guessing last year, we didn't do a Dip run until late January.
- The common theme on the chairlift? This good on December 8th. Wasn't this good until early Feb last year.
- Real fun Friday night at the JVI. Real fun Saturday night at the JVI. We were super loud. Even drove away the table behind us. So what?! We were having a blast hanging with friends! That's why we do this. Even got a comment on the mountain about our conversation the next day by another patron from another table. "I'm surprised you all made it to the mountain this morning!"
- Dan, Nikki, Erick, and Colin got a great deal on a slopeside Condo. The deal was less than a day of skiing each and they got the condo and 2 days of skiing.
- Sunday was pretty brutal. The snow was worked and had hardened. Even the untouched powder seemed to be unmanageable. We left quite early.
- Pretty amazed that I wasn't as sore after 3 days of riding this early in the season (though, I was pretty worked by Sunday).
- Need to mention the booter on the right side of the expo run. Nice 8 foot drop. Smooth kicker.

OK. That's it. Hopefully I'll get some sort of media soon.

What a horrible, horrible EPIC week. Wednesday January 28th - Drove up in the morning during a snow storm. It wasn't a bad drive, just took a long time. Unfortunately, it appears that I lost my phone the day before but didn't realize it until this morning. This delayed me about 45 minutes. Never found it. Got to the mountain between 1:00 and 1:30pm. There was a good amount of snow falling and a fair share on the mountain. Probably about 4-6 inches. I was really soar starting out and had problems with my boots. I only rode for about 2 hours. Didn't have great runs, but the snow showed potential. Wanted to save my energy for Thursday. Thursday January 29th - Woke up early but took my time to get to the mountain. Don't know why. It appeared that we only had a couple more inches over night when I looked out the window of the house. I was wrong. When I pulled out of the driveway I got stuck, because there was about 8 inches of light, fluffy snow on the ground. But that...

Trail Date: 12/2/2016 Headed up Friday afternoon to get more settled in the house. Plus there was snow forecasted for Saturday. Woke up saturday to about a foot or more of a heavy snow on the hill. The mountain looked great! Started with a Derricks run, filming Kathleen. I believe we rode this a couple times. I was noticing several patrollers coming out of the woods as we were going up the lift for the third time. As we approached the top, the patrollers were just about to drop the rope! K and I quickly jumped down kitzbuehl, I then went into the lower cash money woods (jet glade??). We continued to hit the stuff skiers left on the jet...Montrealler and Hell Woods mostly. We also decided to hike to CanAm. It was fantastic. We got barely touched (not untouched...) turns. It was fantastic for the second day of the year. Much better than I could have hoped for. We took several breaks since we aren't in tip top shape. We didn't venture into the thicker woods either. K decided to ...
