We definitely have not been enjoying any sunshine and warm weather here in Boulder the past few days. We also definitely did not bust out the kiddie pools, the palm trees, and flags, the b-ball hoop, the lawn chairs, the ultra loud Metallica, the bikes, the six pack abs, or a ball python named Jelani. We [...]

A thanks to all who placed comments, it seems my blog is what I had hoped it was. There is no issue having people, like Jim, express their opinions. We all have our own ideas, and these should be respected. But from all your answers I gathered that I am on the right track, Jim might not believe so but the rest of you do. Today I was out in the mountains, alone. Alone and comfortable. People have asked me before how I can go out and ski alone and I have had issues answering the question. But when you spend enough time in the mountains, learning its cycles, understanding the physics of snow; you can become comfortable out here.Its not that my "false" confidence is so strong that I feel invincible, its that I know I can rely on myself. Complete self reliance. Being out there today alone, skiing steep tree lines with deep powder, and small cliffs, I cannot let my guard down. All actions must be planned, no misteps or poor decisions allowed. There is a freedom to skiing alone, do what you want when you want. No questions, no deliberating just personal decisions. The is no doubt that if something happens you may be Fu&^$#, but that is something that I will do everything to avoid. Again I do not feel like I have explained anything but I know how great it feels to spend all day skiing powder all by my lonesome self.

I just received this fantastic email from Jim JonesWhy can't you eastcoasties just go out and have fun and not self-promote?To me your just another dime a dozen transplant gumming up the west, Appalachian mts, what a joke. Don't bother responding I won't read yoursillyness. Its an interesting email for me to receive, makes me question myself and my motivations.But what I find funny is him dissing the appalachian mts, what do they have to do with my eastcoastie antics?They were where I began exploring. Where my adventures began, I had so many great times running around the "Hills" in our backyard. No huge alpine, no thoughts of avalanches, but regardless lots of great exploration on skis and foot. This comment makes his email more petty.And yes I do self-promote but I also share and inspire, I hope my stuff does not come off as egotistical self promotion but more as a sharing of incredible experiences.Should I give everyone Jim Jones email and maybe you people can email him and perhaps he will listen to your silliness?Appart from that lots has been happening, down in Nelson for the Coldsmoke festival, a wicked ski down the Face of Ymir with lots of slough and alpen glow. and then some deep powder skiing up the Asulkan with the Jupiter traverse. The powder has returned and rejuvinated our psych. ?
Xavier De Le Rue may as well be a fictional character, and could in fact be a member of the X-Men. But in reality he’s a legendary snowboarder who recently represented France at the olympic level in boardercross. He arrived in Vancouver as a favorite but was unluckily knocked out early in the quarter final [...]
