Just got back from three days in Breck with my brother and a buddy of his. Used my new ContourHD helmet cam and got some neat footage. I'll need to edit that.

I also used my little Canon and snagged a couple cool shots. Here's one of me after a taste of my New Belgium 1554 at the top of Peak 9 and one of my brother hitting a fallen tree in the woods.

Great weekend!

I think you mistakenly thought this was Facebook.

Also, Photobucket? Don't you have your own domain?

Skiing sounds kind of fun... but not quite as fun as snowboarding... though I would definitely like to try out skiing one day...

p.s. pics don't work..

I haven't been much into winter sports but picked up skiing last year and it was a lot of fun. I've been skateboarding as a teen, then windsurfing for a while, I can somewhat ice skate so I picked up skiing fast. Taught my big dauther as well, we ended up making 3-4 ski trips to NC last season with friends. We're planning a couple of trips this season as well.

I've been contemplating getting on a snowboard, seems similar to skateboarding, just that both your feet are strapped to it and I feel a bit old for plowing snow with my head...

It's better than dirt or concrete... that's for sure...

though you should try something called a Flowboard, they're quite fun when there's no snow around or beaches... and assuming you've got some downhills and such...
can be a bit unstable at high speeds but definitely fun nonetheless.
