Lets cut that tree down.
Last Tuesday the entire Milosport Staff, minus Graham and Howard, went to Kirkwood to go make some turns together. The day was super fun. We did the signature chair 6 traverse. It was fun. Morning beers, Lunchtime shenanigans, even found a few patches of pow. Ben and Chris came and so Did Paul and Thomas from Sundance. The day was fun. For photo's check out Waffles' blog here.
The real action came after we headed back to George's family cabin. George's parents were heading up the next day and Geo and family used all the fire wood. This means we would be cutting down a tree. Obviously, this was gonna be good. To make it more interesting, the tree was next to the power lines which meant we had to make sure it would fall south.

George doing some one handed chain saw action. 4/5ths of the way through the tree the rope dictating which way the tree would fall snapped. So we had to re-attach it while its swaying in the wind.
George decided to climb above the cut line to re-attach the rope. We all were a little stunned. Schfuck is a bad ass. Finally the thing fell and landed about 2 feet from my feet after I dove out of the way. What a way to cap off the Milo trip. Awesome.

My 27th Birthday with the Devils.
So for my 27th Birthday Party we will be going to see the Murder City Devils. They are playing on the 6th of May at the Great American Music Hall. A bunch of us are going, I can't fucking wait. Oh, and Aska, Justin, Cori and I are going to the second night also. Boo YEAH!
Once every few years
Once every few years the weather aligns up correctly and you get a perfect day of Snowboarding. Well, on March 4th 2010 we got one of those days. It had snowed 18 inches on the night of the 2nd. Kirkwood didn't open a bunch of the mountain on the 3rd due to snow and wind. On the 3rd they received another 14 inches. So on the 4th Aska, Paul and Alex from Sundance. and I headed up to try and catch first chair.
We got to the mountain at 8:30 and headed up chair 10 and dropped into Eagle Bowl. Nothing but pow slashes. From there we headed to chair 2 and lapped that twice while waiting for chair 4 to open. We decided to head down wait in line for chair 4. After 45 minutes and 2 Budweisers they finally started letting people on. We were about 10 chairs back and got insane fresh tracks right off the chair.
It was 18 degrees, blue sky's, zero wind, and 36 inches of white stuff. So good.
After lapping chair 4 a few times Alex and I decided to hike to the top of the peak by Covered Wagon and Devils Draw. It took about 20 minutes of hiking a pretty steep pitch but it was all worth it. We dropped in and rode super fast into Fawn Ridge. Smiles all around.
We rode pow all day. Once we were done we hung out and had a beer with Coop then back down the hill to Giant Burger, which was amazing. Days like that don't happen too often. Thanks Kirkwood.

2 fun days with NCP
Aska and I headed up to Tahoe for our weekly visit. We went to Homewood on Thursday which is one of my favorite places to snowboard. For some reason everyone overlooks it, and when I say I like to ride there people look at me like I'm crazy. They have super fun tree runs and the pow doesn't get tracked out as fast as everywhere else in Tahoe.
We met up with Waff Thursday morning and had a full day of slow chairs, small jumps with a lot of wu-tang, and even a hike. Quail Face is one of the most fun faces in Tahoe when the snow is right. It is only about a 150 yard hike, but there is a cat track to hike on. It's awesome.
Waffles and I also got into a wrestling match. Aska and he were keeping screts from me and it was pissing me off.
After snowboarding we hung out at Lance and Tim's and then went to Tahoe City and ate at Bridgetender. Their wings are fantastic!
Friday we woke up and went to Sugar Bowl to meet up with Wilmoth and Jason Tarr. After a bloody mary, we headed up Disney through the high winds and wet pellet-like snow. It was pretty tracked out, but when your snowboarding with the right people it is always fun.
We stopped around 2 and have a victory beer. It was a quick trip, but always fun. See you next week Tahoe.
