Pain

I dont think I need to say anything more

And yes there is more bruising in front !!!

Day 7 and Day 8 which was "GO SNOWBOARDING DAY"

Day 7 started out with some more snow shoveling, this time though due to the stomach injury I had to sit inside and watch, maybe the only good thing out of this injury.


Tc and her mom got out there and did all the hard work while I watched :)


Heres TC and Her Mom getting ready for the wedding reception ice cream bar.

Then it was off to a wedding lunch, wedding ice cream bar reception and then straight to Cafe Rio again to eat Mexican and meet new comers to our trip Paul (something in the woods) Colby and Kate Hamburger.


Here's our new friends Coco and TC eating up a storm at Cafe Rio

Day 8 is "World GO Snowboarding Day" and it was a pretty warm day up the hill. It was also Paul and Kates first day up at Brighton this year and they where pumped. All I could do was cruise around taking shots I'm so sore I can hardly do up my bindings.


Here is Paul Colby sliding a box


TC was ripping !!!!


Its good to have Chris back in Salt Lake we are missing our other aussie crew though. Although he Found this cigarette on the ground and could end up really sick


Good Crew ! Miss you Ralphy and Metro

Day 6 Salt Lake Utah

So luckily since I'm hurt yesterday Chris and I had to go work out of the Burton Utah offices.
I would have been double bummed to miss this day riding cause of a stupid injury. These guys have done a great job and their showroom looks all time.


TJ is 100% great dude stoked to see you man, notice the falls creek shot in the background


Josh Fisher (another great person) and co worker whose name I forget sorry

After spending a 5 hours there Chris and I decided to go shop in an outdoor mall, pity it was dumping and I mean dumping.


Here is Chris, he is so smart he wore lowcut vans with holes in them today to keep his feet nice wet and cold, unfortuantely so did I, anyone say IDIOTS

Being the bright sparks we are, we thought we could get a taxi pretty easily, unfortunatly Utah doesnt have many taxis and where told that we would have to wait a minimum of 1 and a half hours. Train here we come and luckily we had a father in law to pick us up as Im still not walking to well due to this


At least I can feel my skin now, it has been numb since I did it.

This morning Im doing stretches and trying to get as well as I can to be able to go ride at Go Snowboarding Day tommorow
somehow i dont think Ill be chucking any methods.

Days 4 and 5

So I couldn't keep it up and last night slacked on updating the blog.
So here is a two day update !
Yesterday started with a day riding at Brighton with TC and Old Friend (nearly 20 years now) Brenner Adams up at Brighton. It was sunny and there was tonnes of fresh still to be had. It was TC's first day and she was stoked. IF you bought a bag of food to give to the homeless you got a lift ticket for $15. What deal Brenner and TC where stoked, i bought a bag even though I have a pass.


Here we are in front of the pile fo food for charity.


Mt Millicent is such a good site


Yeah TC


We then burned down the hill and picked up Chris Coco Boadle, of course he was late but it wasn't really his fault.

After that we had Dinner with Brenner and his family in their new house, which I must say is awesome.

Today we woke up to another 3 inches of fresh in our front yard, and after a pretty sketchy drive up the hill we got to brighton where it snowed maybe 6 inches and was dumping all day.
We met up with a bunch of crew and had a ball until we decided to drop into a freshly opened bowl. Which ended up with myself SC catching a rock underneath and landing on it on my back. Off to the doctors and looks like Im out for a while with some heavy bruising and hopefully no internal damage but we will have to wait for the tests to come back for that.


Heres Chris getting pitted right before I collided with a rock.

Day 3, lets see if I can keep this up :)

So it snowed quite a bit today.
It was pretty good :):)

Here's the snow report for today !


Here's the forecast also for the next couple of days



Here's what TC and her friend Shannon got up to today

Worked Out


Collected her Cheque the US government sent, some kind of "ecomony boost" $300 for nothing. Especially cool since She doesn't even live in the US. Look at that smile you know accountants love cash.


Ate Bagels


And then We shoveled the snow off the drive, then I helped an old lady with her drive which nearly killed me (Ralphy i know i have weak arms aka linguini arms).


Stoked i was thinking done now I can rest! HOW wrong was I when a little guy from across the road came over and asked whether we could help him so off we went only to find out he was getting paid $20 to do it and we did it all, he did offer us a reward which we declined politely. This guy knows how to use resources, I think I could learn something from him for sure.

Tomorrow is TC first day at Brighton an old friend Brenner Adams is coming and at three o'clock we pick up COCO Boadle.
