Ski Day #35
Park City reported eight inches of new this morning. Charli, Bill and I made our way to the mountain in time for first chair on Ski Team. A long powder run on Silver King was the best way to start the morning while the patrol bombed Puma and Jupiter. Check out the clip of Bill getting first tracks:
After another run on Ski Team, we made our way to McConkey’s hoping to time the opening of Puma Bowl. Instead, we found some good snow in Black Forest and first tracks off Pioneer Ridge. Once Puma Bowl opened, we hiked up Pinyon Ridge to O-Zone. The snow in Puma was great, typical Utah powder.
The day was cut short by a bad fall taken this morning by my mom. Charli and I rushed to the E.R. to take her home. While patrolling King Con, she had hit some unexpected glare ice, causing her to crash, re-injuring her back. She’s in a lot of pain right now, but nothing as serious as the compressed vertebrae she experienced a year ago. Hopefully she’ll be back on the slopes before the season ends.
My Friend Has Started A New Blog: 20 A Night
The site is a daily log of how many beers he consumed the night before. He’s a bit of a drinker and would, understandably, like to remain anonymous. Check out his blog, post some comments, and tell all your friends.
Happy Birthday to Hobbes!
It’s Leap Day, Hobbes’ unofficial 2nd birthday!!!
Hobbes was a rescue dog who’s birthdate remains one of the world’s great unknowns. Last year I decided to celebrate his birthday sometime in late February. This year his birthday falls on Leap Day, February 29th.
Feel free to leave any messages for Hobbes on his Myspace page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=155810802
Happy Birthday Hobbes! Last year’s birthday party was a blast. Although Hobbes has vowed to steer clear of tequila for the time being, he requested some Mad Dog 20/20 for this year’s party (I tried to explain the irony, but the concept was lost on him).

One of my favorite emails about the Sonic’s situation:

This season is like watching “Major League” — except the evil plan actually worked.
And a highlight reel of Shawn Kemp’s dunks:
Oh, I found this video of Seattle drivers:
Charli's New Puppy, "Mogul"
Check out the video and some of the pictures. He’s a German Shepherd/Black Lab Mix. Charli picked him up yesterday at a shelter in Salt Lake. In less than a day he has learned to sit (if you give him a treat), fetch (if he’s chasing a treat and given a treat upon return), and can even come when called (if treats are involved).
Charli seems to believe that Mogul is a rather exceptional puppy. She has already looked into applying for Dogsa… the gifted canine branch of Mensa.
You can find a photo gallery of Mogul at the following URL: http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh182/fatbearfehr/Mogul/
Ski Day #34
After saying our goodbye’s to the Seattle crew as they left for the airport, Charli and I did our best to catch first chair at Park City. A quick stop for the Greatest Breakfast in the World (Park City Bread & Bagel) delayed our efforts, but we made it to Puma Bowl in time to find some untracked snow. Bluebird day and a foot of new made for pretty good conditions. One of the best days of the year.
Poor timing for the guys visiting from Seattle. But I posted some videos to make them feel better.
