    I was at Soda Springs on Monday! Bummer I missed you!


    Soda Springs is supposed to be one of the snowiest places in North America. I spent a long time in 5 mph traffic going through there 2 weeks ago during the blizzard. Crazy snowstorms in the Sierras, but incredible skiing. Try Kirkwood sometime, great place, huge, and so much varying terrian. Avoid Boreal, aka Boringhill. Cheap to ski, but sucky. I just got new skis for my birthday too! Such a great year in the Sierras for skiing.

    I heard Mt. Rose is the shit as well. Kirkwood is awesome. I was there and there were 60 mph winds and it was snowing 2 inches an hour. Nuts!!

    I'm heading to Whistler, BC this week for some skiing. Anyone every been there and how do you rate it? All the buzz is that it's North America's biggest and best place to go.

    Whistler is the Best place I've even been too for Snowboarding. Mt. Baker being a close number 2. You'll have fun for sure. It's Party time all the time up there. Mt. Hood is still getting blasted. Another 3 feet last week and more coming :)

    I'm going to Sugar Bowl on Monday, if anybody else is up there I'd love to get a drink with you!
    At this point, my 4 year old now goes down black diamond runs. She's fantastic! It's so cute to see this little tiny girl in a big helmet skiing down the steepest parts of the mountains.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    I just got back from Whistler, that place is so freaking unreal. It puts the Sierras to shame. We arrived on St. Patty's day and were greeted by tons of Australians just waiting to party. The Whistler and Blackcomb mountains were so awesome to ski on. It seemed to take over a half an hour just to make it down the mountain because it's so BIG!!! The scene there is so much fun and the rooms were not as much and I thought they'd be. I'm already planning next years trip up there.

    The place is the sickness for sure. I hiked to the top of Blackcomb glacier and hauled ass to the village and it took 45 min. :)

    Crazy to think that all of Tahoe's resorts could fit inside of those mountains. I hope you enjoyed the waitresses at Longhorns ;)

    It is pretty nuts how big the place is. We skiied the peak of Whistler and it had to have taken us well over half an hour to get to the village.

    Yeah the waitresses at Longhorns... it was a difficult task to watch them without my wife watching me!! Definitely good Poutine there!!
