Another day, another hill... (Sorry I don't have any cool pics of me doing nice tricks... I'm always by myself since my ski buddies are always too busy doing that thing they call "Work"...)

Ski day #82... Unlimited supplies... It's all-you-can-ski time!
Poor "backcountry" kids skiing their heavy AT gear on week-ends... They will never find out where the fun really is...
