Today was hot! It was about 47 degrees on the top today, that is snow melting hot! So me and Jason took a trip up to Sundance for a few hours and got burnt on the mountain. I did get a few photos and about 2 min worth of video, in the video someone is hurt and a girl makes her jump.

You could say Jason has taken his falls on the narrows in the Pipeline up at Sundance, in fact one day he knocked himself out there. Every time we ski through the Pipeline he gets to the same spot and has a pretty nasty fall. Last week he twisted his knee in this ominous place and today just like every time down he fell in the same spot! So we took one more hit down Bishops Bowl taking a moment for him to rest on the catwalk on the edge of the Pipeline before dropping into his own hell run. Well I got him to slow things down and take his time getting to the squeeze spot, as he hit it you can see in the video he just works his way past the bad spot in his mind and finish the run without a single fall!

Check out the video and see for yourself, don’t miss the cool pics from this day.

To get to Marmott Gulch you have to take off your skis and climb for about 10 min up the hill on your right as you get off Ray’s Lift at the summit. They have this marked as a Black Diamond but I would class it closer to a double black. It is a tight fast drop through a very steep and narrow gully.

It had been 4 days since I had been able to ski this week, I was blacked out on Monday for Presidents Day so I was needing my snow fix. So today I went up to Sundance solo, Jason couldn’t go and today. The snow on the bottom was a little slushy but the top was pretty sweet, looks like they had gotten a few inches over the weekend. It was soft and fast today, I like it that way! I did run into a cloud passing over the top and got some pretty cool photos and video of it so check it out.

You don’t get to see photos of me skiing very often, in fact never! Last Friday Jason Leonard and I went for a 1/2 day at Sundance and Jason is a photographer and was able to get some photos of me so I thought I would post them and let you see me for a change. Jason is just learning to ski and you could say he is better with a camera right now than on the snow but he is learning fast.

For years there was this big red bra hanging in a lone tree on the lift to the top of Sundance, last year during a snow storm it blew away for good. Yea I did go looking for it with West but we never found it! Well this year there has been a lot of underwear growing in the trees like fruit but it seems to be getting picked. Today there was two pair of panties and a big white bra signed by someone?

Check out the photos and video for more on this strange thing.

Wow what a day, after a long painful weekend watching the snow fall all around me I finally got out and played in it. Me and Jason Leonard took off up to Sundance for 3 hours of snow, sun and fun, I spent most of last week in Las Vegas where there was no snow to play in! So today was my first chance to get out and have a little fun. Jason is a pretty good sport even when I took him down a few pretty nasty blacks runs, he did very well on Bishops Bowel to the Pipeline.

Had some extra fun today, Jason Leonard and Tom both joined me at Sundance for a few hours of fun in the fresh snow. It had snowed all week and there was a good amount of fresh stuff to play in today. Jason had not skied in about 15 years and was in the beginner stage of learning so I did get his first run on video with all the fun crashes.
