First Ski Trip Of 2010

The last thing I need to post on to catch up the poor souls I subject to this site is my latest ski trip to Sunrise.

Looking back I'm amazed and saddened that I only squeezed in a single ski trip last year.  For something I love so much I spend surprisingly little time doing it -- I'm blaming Canada.

Though this trip was originally scheduled to have 132 people come with and all stay in Alek's cabin only 3 of us made it in the end.  Vince, Alek and myself... well ok - Alek's family was up there as well but they hung out in town while we goofed off on the slopes.  Really I can't say enough about Alek on this trip.  He provided an awesome place for us to stay, food in the morning/night, and great company on the slopes.  I definitely owe him one.

Thats not to leave out Vince - he is great to ski with.  Probably the only person I know who skis better than I do.  He'll ski any run and can go all day without needing to eat or go to the bathroom.  An invaluable skill when you can only be on the slopes from 9am-4pm.  The mountain also cooperated giving us great squeaky dry snow and a sunny albeit cool day.

Tried to take a couple videos on this trip but they turned out really craptacular.  Turns out that its downright impossible to ski well and hold a video camera.  I remember my dad doing that as a kid, he is a talented SOB.  Enjoy the pics and hopefully I'll see some of you out there this weekend on trip #2.

It really was a perfect sunny day. I take a break for a kodak moment Vince corners though some christmas trees. Alek poses with his head-bucket on. The lines were a little much a times. The hat hair is what really got us though.
