The house has been filled. The past several days have been devoted to setting up our house and little more. We were able to make our way to Keystone for a day of riding this past weekend. The conditions were as good as any solid day of New England skiing. I still get a kick out of these western powder skiing folk. When there isn’t a couple inches of fresh snow they don’t know what to do with themselves. Proof of this was the four downed skiers we saw on one single run once the trails started to get a little skied off; these people just cant handle the slightest bit of ice.
I have been in a pickle with a owner of one of the “best” bars in town for a gig as a bouncer. I’m hoping to lock down that job today if only our endless game of phone tag would cease. I figure this job would be perfect for my social life and my snowboarding schedule – I figure I wont be missing any powder days working at night!
I now wish I brought my road bike with me. This week has been 55+ and the skies have been clear as I’ve ever seen; perfect riding weather. A lot of people road/mountain bike out here as there are intricate trail systems for both types of bicycles.
Breckenridge opens tomorrow and we are supposed to get snow on Friday and Saturday, more detailed posts to follow.
Cheers.

James, I really enjoy your writing–there’s an elegance to its simplicity and accessibility. I couldn’t agree more with the point you made regarding the magnetic quality the rockies possess for those who have learned one of life’s greatest secrets–the art of living in the here-and-now, with gratitude and peace of mind*. Keep up the good work man and have shitloads of fun as I’m sure you will!
