It doesn’t take long to realize just how pointless it is to have a leash on your snowboard. They’re a toss back to a time when resorts required them. In practicality, you’ve rarely have both feet out of your board.When you do, chances are you don’t want a leash attached. If you’re like me, you… Read more »

Steamboat Web Cams
So, I was really frustrated with the web cams on the Steamboat website. It didn’t load well on Firefox and all I wanted was to see some pictures. I tried it out on Opera with much better results. That’s when I found out what all the extra overhead was about. You can actually manipulate their… Read more »
December in Texas: Morning Fog
I usually try to post about snowboarding, but I thought this picture was worth sharing. We had a fog this morning when I got up. It’s winter here right now – the middle of December. For anyone not from Texas, our weather patterns are extreme and varied. The Rocky Mountains push cold air down through… Read more »

It would seem that I’m headed to Steamboat Springs, CO! I’ve heard about Steamboat for years, and now I’m finally going to get to check it out. It’s the place Wil from 120DaysOfPowder.com ran off to.

Back From Winter Park: iRide Cap In Hand
So we had a fantastic time in Winter Park. The snow conditions weren’t the best – we had a lot of dust on crust. However, more of the mountain was open this year than when I went two years ago. I didn’t perform as well as I had hoped. I wanted to try a 180… Read more »
Here We Go, Off To Winter Park
It’s the day of the trip – finally. It’s always been the day of the trip, in my mind. It’s approaching on 11:00. I was up early this morning. I cooked myself a yummy breakfast, washed all the dishes, cleaned the counters, washed up the laundry, and took out the trash. I’ve got most of… Read more »
Days Left: 1
One more day of work, and then tomorrow I leave. Only somewhere between 6% and 10% of Winter Park is likely to be open. I was hoping for a little bit more snow, but I’ll still have just as much fun. Just checked the weather. Wunderground thinks there’s a 20% chance of snow on Thursday… Read more »
