Stuck In Sydney

So Im still up in sydney working my ass off, yep I know someone call the whambulance cause Im a Sook :)
Im really missing brighton so i found this movie on the net from the opening day of great western lift at Brighton resort Utah. I dont really know these guys but they do make a fun movie and really capture how fun Brighton is.

Hope you enjoy it like i did

Utah To Oz

Here's a little recap on our last couple of days in Salt Lake City

Good friend Josh and his lovely wife Lindsay and their new home in Sugarhouse, perfect.



On my second last day in Salt Lake Brenner's oldest boy Keyan got confirmed at the church
Heres the family looking smart, thanks for having me over



It was my second last day shredding so I didnt look as smart as they did as i wore my snowboard stuff and a pair of chinos so i could get up here, to shred with buddys Dustin and Chris and some other good friends ,there is a little edit of the days riding to come dont worry



That night it was dinner and Jazz, I had to put this up cause Riley Is a ruler



That night another jazz game, here is the jazz girls for everyone



The next day it was shredding for me in the morning then off to airport for the flight home
Here is the wife and her mother at the airport. See how cool my mother in law is she even took her skate board to the airport to skate the curb out front (not really I was over weight with my bags and soccer mom being the legend she is took it home for me)



Once we got to melbourne airport I jumped on a plane straight to sydney to be greeted by this smiling face, and as usual he was up to his usual antics, here he is skating a mini board around office



And this is the close up of what happened


I'm no in manly for a few weeks working my butt off.
More updates to come.

New Years Eve

So it's been snowing quite a bit here in Utah, so what better way to spend New Year's Eve than shredding with the wife and yes, brother in law Josh (check my part in kingpin chronicles) Roberts for his first day of the year shredding.

Brother & Sister on the Milly Chair



Sun and new snow stoked



Had to post this shot, two parts of some good times in the past: Brighton Lodge and SXE



Crazy busy day - the car park was full and look at the line all the way down to Solitude which is the next resort a mile or two down the road.



After snowboarding we went and saw Avatar in 3D at Imax, two words freaking amazing!
Unfortunately we couldn't take our guns, here is Tara and Brendan laughing cause oh wait we don't have guns :)
