ONCE AGAIN....

Ya, boy did this suck. they tried to put my shoulder back in four (4) times. They said it was all the muscle around the shoulder. I didn't think I was that strong. In the ER onr guy had a sheet wrapped around me for leverage and pulled me away from the other guy using all his weight to pull my arm out, and re-set it!

My First trek to Snowshoe, WV. UNBELIEVABLE Fresh Powder! I was a little icy under the freshies, but definitely worth it. Now it's raining and its all melting. Booo!
















Halloween was so much fun, thanks for the costume Jon!!



My 4oth... what an awesome night. Ryan really surprised me with a huge table of friends at Four Peaks. The rest of it is kind of fuzzy. That is the first night I have ever been carried into my house. Unfortunately I did pay for it the next morning when the roofers decided to start at 06:30 "cthunk, cthunk, cthunking" right above my bedroom. I was very impressed though. My friends were so responsible about drinking and driving. I have some awesome friends!!




Yep.. that's ONE house.. that's how they build 'em in Scottsdale.

Seal Beach, CA

One of my two favorite sections of the memorial.

Gotta love the Smithsonian. We flew the $%^% outta the flight simulators that day, thanks Mike!

Eveyone is focused on Louisiana, and the southern states. What a lot of people don't know is that we had our own hurricane in Phoenix last thursday. Winds were at over 100mph. The city is still cleaning up trees that were knocked over and high-rise buildings that had all their windows blown out. I lucked out with my car. 2/3 of the Palo Verde tree in my front yard fell on my car. Just the mirror.. that they are quoting me at 2k for that and the small dent in the quarter panel.. the adjuster told me BMW stands for "bring your wallet," I am inclined to believe him.



Seal Beach. My first trip to Los Angeles, I like it! I did not think I would ever say that. I went there for an OSHA conference and luckily had an hour to spend at the beach before my flight back to Phoenix.

Summer pool party at the house.

Testing out some of our new equipment.
Practice makes perfect.


Yup, thas how I ride. :P


Tod hooked us up with the Vendor board tryouts the last weekend of the season at Sunrise. Bananna Boards rock! Thanks Tod!!!



Will, Trav and Tod at Sunrise again. I finally got the mounting bolts to put the board rack back on the car. Sweet!


They got a little snow in UT... Will and Patrick at one of my favorite spots, Brighton Ski resort in UT.


Trav, Will and Shay at the Snowbowl, Flagstaff, AZ



The Pups at Christmas.


Trav and I at Snowbowl, AZ. Me at Spapu, NM.


Purgatory (Mountain Resort at Durango) is one of my favorite places to board. They had a great mid-week rate and it was only a 9hr drive from PHX. Unfortunately Missy's water pump broke and I had to get her fixed there - that was a nightmare. Drew and I still got in plenty of runs though during those three days.

Riding in the back of Trav's pickup from the lodge to the mountain at Sunrise, AZ Ski resort. Man was that a cold ride.



This was a great weekend to board, the powder was awesome. They had over 100" base. Drew puting his board on, and Tod taking a break. Tod did really well for his first time out on a board.



Of course when I saw they had Moose Drool Ale at he bar... you need carbs for energy to board, right? Our lunch break; Travis, Drew, Will, and Tod. At the end of the day we enjoys some butterscotch schnapps before heading back to he lodge; Drew, Jenna, Will and Tod.
