Wow, open heart surgery, bypass, I assume...give him my best, Bruce! That surgery is like getting a whole new ticker...he'll be back with a vengeance before too long! Friends (like you guys) and family will help him get through...

Again, BIG VIBES to TWheels!!!!!

Wheels is doing good and thanks for the good vibes....Can't help but help.....Will humor him but he ain't gonna kick this old guy's .... even if he gets a bionic body....no way....I'll cheat!!!!! LJ the skiing was excellent with around two feet of great powder....Teleking and I broke to TK2 (telecamp two)....in places over waist deep....tough going...but when done we were half done....Another 500 feet to break but the ride down was excellent...gee I might have to do it again....TM

Yeah we got so cool stuff here too! It should keep us busy for (hopefully) two more month or so..!

Gee I think I'm getting bored of skiing fresh powder every day... Never thought that would happen... I think I'm gonna have a groomers day today, for a change... 8-)

Sooo Telekid and I headed up yesterday....another 500 feet of up to break so we could get to the Vortex a steep tight drop....overnight the snow had changed making for good breaking....within a couple of hundred yards a single ski track with a dog following....Thank you!!!! Think by the track he may be on those Nils Larsen snowskis....ski snowshoes...Hoy or Hok???? Got to the top forget hanging around as the winds were howling with some drifts over ten feet deep....(the eastern cornice) wooommmmppppfff were heard the last two days....Top was wind wild zone and anything facing the north west was hammered unless in a ridge protected zone....The vortex ix in that zone minus 50-60 feet at the top....So skied down a bit then set the camera as Telekid went sweeping by doing beautiful controlled arcs with snow blowing up around him....Clouds started moving in so we moved down and out.....Had some of the best arc's of the year on 205 e99's.....dynamite......At the bottom we met up with "Phil" who owns much of what we ski and have TK2 on....A few brews later we were home......aaaahhhhhhh TM

As weird as it may seem, I did spend yesterday carving the groomers... I needed a fix of carving after all this powder... 8-)

Talking about dogs... The other day at the cross country center, there was a lady waxing her dog's feet!!
set the camera as Telekid went sweeping
Camera eh? We wanna see!!
