Mega Blog Update

So this little adventure started back in Melbourne on the 9th of December.
From melb I flew to Sydney to Meet up with friends Chris and Darren and also Andy who arrived just as we where getting on the plane to NYC something about forgetting his passport.
Here is a little photo essay of whats been going on in the USA.

Pack heavy travel light maybe I took that sentiment a little too literally.
Here is Andy and Chris just landed in Burlington Vermont our home for the next few days.


After Burlington it was off to Stowe about 45 Min's away, somehow it took us two hours but really who cares. We where off to fancy new resort accommodation and our winter meetings.
Here is the view from our room



Here is our fave Kiwis swimming out into the pool/hut tubs



Second night of being up at Stowe We all got invited to Jake Burton's family home such a fun host.
Below you see Darren and Chris in the guest house/Barn would be an Amazing place to stay that's for sure



Here is Darren Skateboarding in the underground tunnel from the barn to the main house.



The last night of the meetings Burton held a karaoke contest at a bar, here is our Boy Tj Bottom killing it



Chad from Colorado was awesome also, but Karrie here stole the show to come Danzig



Utah boys Ryan and Josh and Danielle marketing guru



Good byes to our Vermont pals, here is Darren and Amanda saying goodbye.


I must thank our good friend Steph Hauser for looking after us and organising a great meeting.

Once the meeting finished, Darren and Chris needed to shop so off to NYC they went and I travelled over to Salt Lake City Utah, who had been dumped on.

Coming into the car park after all these years of riding here I'm still a total tourist :)



Milly Bowl opened today and good friend Brenner and I where on the 5th chair. We got some pretty sick snow, fast groomers flying off into knee deep pow = fun !!!



Tonight the wife arrives longest time away from her, I'm missing her that's for sure



Another token Brighton Shot

Because We just got to Stowe and here is the report

Colabyarration Art Show

Last night there was another Art Show down here in melbs, this one had a unique little angle.
The theme was the sea, every piece had a little run of affordable Tshirts available and it wasnt super packed when we got there which was a hell of a lot cooler than any other art show in melbourne as of late.
The drinks where free and the artists killed it. I couldnt get shots of everything so here is a little snapshot.


Moo and the Wife planned outfits accordingly :) And it was their son Jacks first show as well as first night out in city


Marks on the phone as normal, met us out front of show


Here is his piece referencing the suburb we all live in, Chelsea pride as Mark would say


Tc in front of Andy Murphys piece, good pirate smith


On right Micahs who I didnt even know drew and on left rudins rashids.

Dannys piece was my second fave so TC got that for my birthday when I get it Ill post a shot.

Thats all for now, thanks to however organised the show.
