Facial hair fun and more snow.

Still snowing. This place is awesome.







Meanwhile Darragh had some fun with the shaver.







Fun times.

Random happenings.

When we went down to Reno the other night to pick up Sean I got another shot of the Reno sign at night. That place is a different world at night. So seedy. A lot less snow this time as well.



Sean hasn't taken too long to be noticed in the house. Mainly by blocking the toilet...



Kept snowing today so we went up the hill again. Heres a couple of photos.







After that we went down and picked up Sean's car from Truckee. Darragh had some more fun with bears.



Still snowing tonight. Supposed to be another 11-12 inches forecast. Maybe off to Sierra tomorrow to hit the powder!

New York Planning

I had been toying with the idea of heading to New York for the first time ever during this trip, but had just decided not to go. When I woke up this morning Andrew WK's facebook had announced the first show he has done with a live band in 5 years. And even better its in his home town of New York City. So I bought a ticket, flights and accomodation for around 700 bucks and I'm heading over for it.

Went for a shred this arvo with Sean Radich. He has moved back into his room in our apartment after covering the olympics. Good to have the big ranga back.

After riding today I decided to check out what other gigs were on in New York when I am there. Turns out Hockey are playing the Bowery Ballroom. So I also booked a ticket to that as I have always wanted to catch a gig at the Bowery.

Heres some video's of the two gigs Im going to. Gonna be a fun trip!



Keep an eye out for me in this one! -



Heading to Truckee for some beers tonight and then northstar tomorrow. Sierra at Tahoe on Saturday. Lots more snow forecast.

Pow time!

It snowed 10 inches up top overnight. I think there was a lot more in places though. Probably one of the deepest pow days I have ever experienced. We went off the back of the hill for most of the morning.

Me-





Then went and hit up The Stash -



Hitting Craig Kelly hut in The Stash -





Heres little vid I took going through the trees near the park. Its not very good but you get the idea.



All in all, an amazing day of riding. Makes the trip over here so worth it. More snow forecast for later in the week too!

Still puking...

Snowing!

Didn't make it up the hill again today. Too hungover, probably just as well as my neck isn't up to 100% yet. Hopefully right to go tomorrow.

It started snowing this arvo and the forecast is for 10-12 inches of snow overnight.

The view from my bedroom -



Balcony views (hard to see but it is snowing quite heavily here)-





Will take some more shots in the morning to show how much has fallen. Can't wait to shred some fresh stuff!

House Partying and the Biltmore

Last night got a bit out of hand. It was Pete's birthday so we planned on a few drinks, we then found out about a house party in Kings Beach, so we headed there. Im not going to say anymore and let the photo's do the talking. Alex Hill, you are one loose unit.











Sausage festival -



Loose bus ride to the Bilty -



Sea monkey pokies? -



The birthday boy -



Red pants friends (with someone holding a rollie/joint in front of the camera??? weird.) -



The finest establishment in the world -



At some point during the night I decided to learn how to play craps. I was throwing the dice and in 15 rolls all I threw was 8's, 9's and 11's. Dudes won thousands of dollars thanks to my dice throwing ability. I won a hundred then promptly lost most of it. At the end of the night I had random dudes coming up and shaking my hand, was pretty funny.

Caught a cab home and harassed Benny Hardy on Skype while some weird mexican came into our house. Strange.

Road Tripping To Reno.

We went for a road trip down to Reno this arvo. Its about a 45 minute drive down and on the way it started snowing like crazy.

Leaving Truckee -



On the way -



Nevada state line -



How not to drive a Chevy Tahoe in snow -



Reno -



Darragh supporting his sponsors in the snow -



We saw this on a shopping cart (do not put kids in bag)-



So Darragh decided to try get in it -



Darragh found Linton's bed in Walmart -



Whilst I found a stack of toy weapons to add to our collection -



The road trip back was crazy. It had kept snowing and people were going off the road everywhere. Took us over 2 hours to get home.







Our windscreen wipers were barely working in the blizzard. Darragh did an awesome job to get us home safely.

Hopefully my neck is feeling better tomorrow and I can go shred all this new powder!

Shred time

Stayed up late last night to watch a live stream of Melbourne vs Freo. What a pitiful performance by Melbourne. Its tough supporting that team....

Went to sleep at 4am and got up at 8:30 to go shred. Got up the hill to find a couple of inches of fresh snow. Problem was I have totally screwed my neck in my sleep last night so I could only manage three runs. I'm now back home sitting on the couch with Darragh watching daytime tv for the rest of the day. I took a couple of photos up there today though, it was fun while it lasted....
