Feels good to be spending the night at home. Watching the first season of Rescue Me and cleaning up after a winter of scattered laundry, dirty dishes and unopened mail. At least my living room is starting to look decent.[IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/61/28/6128.jpeg[/IMG]

Jeezus- The snow just keeps coming down. We’re not talking any regular snow here, this is the heavy, wind driven, 1-3 inches an hour, sticking to anything it comes into contact with kinda snow. Most of Boulder has lost power, the highways are closed, people are stranded on the sides of the road… In other [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/61/27/6127.jpeg[/IMG]

So now we’ve got a beer sponsor (Coors), energy drink sponsor (Red Bull) and now a tobacco sponsor (General Snus.) I wish [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/61/08/6108.jpeg[/IMG]

...Tomorrow. Things are looking prime at the best place on earth (aka Retallack). Sure, the season hasn't been epic for snow, but some precip in recent days have left the comp venues soft enough for some serious action to go down tomorrow. If the weather holds, the big mountain portion of the comp will drop. Red Bull Ski Team present will include Sean Pettit, Sven Kueenle, Richard Permin, Bene Mayr, and Grete Eliassen for the new-this-year women's portion of the comp. Check in to RedBullSkiing.com for exclusive photos and coverage from Cold Rush, and make sure to drop by the official event site.
