My riding adventure today was with my buddy Andy and his co-worker who has stellar taste in snowboards.
Most of us were riding on our lunch break and decided to stick to lower mountain tree runs and just have fun.
I caught this photo of Andy charging down Vagabond. It was today’s Photo of the Day for Steamboat, perk of the job. I get to choose the photos, the spray one above was good but I liked the background on this one.
I’m not one of those super cool people who know the names of all the huts in Colorado, let alone on my own mountain. I hear about them but I’m up on the mountain to shred versus finding secret hut locations. Andy did take us to a run where we could check out the hut nearby. The makers of the hut were also there hanging out, props to them they put a lot of hard work into building it and it even had windows, coffee table and cool goodies to check out.
Its still early season here in Colorado and because our mountain isn’t that steep…early season means following trails to make sure you don’t get stuck in the flat spots within the trees. Alot of the video shows that riding, where it’s either a windy trail or having to follow to get to certain locations.

December 18, 2008 at 1:20 pmThanks! I’ll work on getting the videos better and with a variety of music…I have an eclectic taste in music as you’ll see.
At one point in the vid when I rolled up to the guys, they noticed the cam and really wanted to know about it. One guy had considered buying it so it’s rad to get to try it out and give feedback on it…which will be coming after I do more video on it.
Thanks, the new site is coming along…as the videos come out, I’ll be showing more and more. My regular readers will soon start to get a chance to check it out and a couple other friends have seen it from various blogs. Stoked on how it is coming along.
