EVAN/SKI QUES

KEEP MOVING. LIKE A SHARK.

every week is shark week.

also: i'm not actually unhappy!

SO IT LOOKS LIKE....VAIL.

AND 3 WEEKS LATER, ASPEN FOR WINTER X GAMES. FREE PLACE TO STAY AND FREE LIFT TICKETS. MY BROTHER IS "WORKING" IT....WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

THE FLIGHTS TO BIG SKY WERE $RETARTED$.

hopefully you get good snow at vail. god knows you won't have any good terrain (SNAP).

i lived across the street from Buttermilk during the 2005 X-Games. Hiked to the top of the pipe for the men's ski superpipe finals. dudes were boosting like 25 feet over the lip (and my head). totally rad.

then i had to pee, so i did it into an empty mountain dew bottle (LOL) and threw it in a garbage can nearby. or, rather: i went to the bathroom on nat'l TV!

i've got hell of beta on Aspen/Snowmass, if you want it.

HA!! VAIL HAS AWEOSME TERRAIN...BACK BOWLS!!!!!!!!!!!! BASINS, COME ON!!!! U CRAZY. I DONT SKI, SO WIKED STEEPS ARE LIKE WHATEVS!!

YEAH, BUTTERMILK FOR XGAY-M'S...NEVER BEEN THERE. LOVE SNOW MASS THOUGH!!! BE RAD TO SEE SOME HALF PIPERY!

all i want ever is wicked steeps.

omg dude highlands should be SIIIIICK now that they've installed the deep temerity lift. you MUST hike highland bowl, if you haven't already. hopefully there'll be enough snow to take the gut of it, but the trees far skier's right are perfect: spaced enough that it's easy cruising, steep enough for sickness. in years past you would have had to take your board off and walk up to the traverse, but now you can ride out in the mellow bowl below down to the new lift...you and every other gaper from the east coast.

hanging valley at Snowmass is always good. the best stuff, tho, is the sidecountry off highlands/ajax/snowmass. snowmass, in particular, has rad sidecountry terrain (gate accessible), that NO ONE skis (except my buddy Haskell). like, it can be days after a storm, and no one will have touched it. he claims (as an ex-JXN guy) that Aspen/Snowmass is the single best place in America for both inbounds and lift-accessible backcountry.

snowmass sidecountry, as shot by buddy haskell. traversing skier's right at the bottom will eventually (15-20 minutes) get you back to one of Snowmass's out-there lifts.
