Headed up to Solitude today, but the legs were a bit noodly, so I took it easy; a few runs on the front side, then a nice run through Honeycomb Canyon, dropping from the lower traverse below Prince of Wales Mine … then stopped at a few pullouts on the way back down the canyon [...]

Fab time at Solitude Mountain Resort today; felt really good to get up out of the gunk, breathe some fresh, clean air and carve a few turns. Because it hasn’t snowed in several days, there was very little powder to be found … lots of crud and breakable crust, but Woodlawn (down the middle of [...] 
Bluebird day at Solitude Mountain Resort today … Honeycomb Canyon, January 2, 2011 Honeycomb Canyon, January 2, 2011 Photos shot with Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. Best run of the day, from the top of Summit lift through Honeycomb Canyon, up Honeycomb Return, then drop to the Roundhouse for some good potato-cheddar soup. [...] Once again, it’s that time of year … time to sit back and reflect on all that I am thankful for.

Apparently they have about 15 different spots along 5-6 routes [...] Interesting weekend, coming to a close … went out to dinner with a great friend on Thursday night for some yummy goodness at Squatters downtown, then a quiet day at work on Friday.

Lake Solitude, Lo-Mob Version One of the fun things about having an iPhone is the various apps available for it … especially some of the camera apps. For example, the top photo is a pretty standard shot of Lake Solitude, taking on my [...] The first day of skiing each season is always a little on the iffy side … and yesterday was no different. Headed up to Solitude and could pretty much tell right from the start that it was not going to be a fabulous day when I had trouble getting my boots on. I guess [...] Look … I like winter; I might even go so far as to say that I love winter. However, this is way too fucking cold for December, and for as little snow that we have on the ground in the mountains right now … neither of which is really conducive to outdoor recreational activity.
