After getting pounded by snow all week it was nice to see the sun again today. I am pretty done with winter. Snow biking has been pretty fun and I have had a few good sessions on the skate ski’s but I am ready to start riding for real. I am sure all the lift riders are happy but with Snowbird asking me to grab my ankle to the tune of $69 for a tram ticket, it is clear they don’t need or want my business. Come on global warming!

Wednesday at work my liberal LDS (yes they do exist) cube mate was watching CNN’s coverage of the tornado damage in Arkansas and said “Well what do you expect when you vote for Huckabee.” I nearly wet myself.

Sly says he is gonna bring me back a boomarang.

Who pays full retail for lift tickets anyway??
This is coming from someone whose bikes cost more than both my cars. Its funny to hear cyclists bitch about lift ticket prices when they pay thousands for bikes, entry fees and plane tickets. Winter is back baby and its not leaving anytime soon!

HTFU…clip a pass off some kind soul or get out and lay down the sick ones away from the slobbering masses. On a liner note, perhaps now that “Quit” Romney has done what he feels is best for the country and dropped out of the race, his boys will have some free time on their hands….not campaigning for pops and all. Now they will be able to enlist and help fight the war that their father so adamently supports. Cute dog, has she unleashed her master plan to destroy your house yet?

You are right Forrest that is why I can’t afford to go to the resorts. Only one retardedly expensive sport at a time for me, gotta choose my battles.

Shoot the lock off your piggy bank and get some backcountry gear. No more bending over for lift tix and you’ll be skiing perfect snow with zero crowds while getting a galactic, zero-impact workout. How long have you lived here?!
