Lost keys and a ride

Went to Reno today to procure a replacement for the Envoy's keys and remote which I apparently dropped in the snow somewhere at Northstar yesterday. Set me back $125.

Rode 30 miles while waiting for key remote to be reprogrammed

Chico Wildflower ride is on the 24th so I have to get my butt in shape before then.

Breckenridge

Traveled to Breckenridge Co for the Mountain Dew Vertical Challange on April 2nd. Mountain Dew VC Took 2nd place in my age group out of two racers. Somewhat of a disappointment for me. Here are the official results. Mountain Dew Finals. Skied Vail on Monday. It is a huge resort.

Me holding event promoter Jeff Brausch's Highline Sports skis and Jeff holding mine. I switched them by mistake earlier that day. Jeff is pointing at the Bavetta.com sticker that led to me getting back my own skis. Jeff was still kind enough to get me a free pass to Vail for the next day.

Sam a Coyote and me

Off work on Sunday. Went on Aaron's level 2 training clinic in the morning and I forget what I did in the PM. Aaron says I should extend more on my turns.

Sam having a smoke on Sunday.

On Monday Kelly and I skied a foot of new heavy wet powder at Northstar. Here is a view of me squinting into the sun just short of the top of Hornets Nest. We had first tracks.

I spotted this coyote yesterday AM in the Northstar Parking lot.

Volunteered to work yesterday. Put me on high level kids who wanted to play in the terrain park so I spent some time sliding boxes which was a new experience for both the kids and me. Both survived.

Ryan home spring break

Ryan is home from MIT on spring break with his friend Salome. Nice to see him and to meet Salome. Ryan is still talking about biking across the country this summer with some friends and has invited me to join him. I would love to do that! Ryan flys back to Boston on Friday.
