merry Solstice, Freaks

this is ski season but the bikin' is better than skiin', at least in the Nor-east Sierra. i'm still procrastinating on the Deux closing party pics i promised but it's on the short list. since i haven't postin in a few whiles, i thought i'd at least throw a pic out there and say Hey.Hey.

WTF, it's mid December and we've got 4.1321cm of freshies!!! i can't believe everyone was too hung over after a run of holidaze parties for an AM shred, lulled into lethargy by the promise of lift served skiing after sleeping it off. Oso and I got freshies, 1st tracks for much of it. the sound of knobbies hookin' up in fresh pow on a fast descent is kind of cool, somewhere between the sound of trees flying by while dropping knees in deep pow and a roulette wheel, but more like a roulette wheel.

story time. i'm about to stoke the fire, curl up on the sofa with a mag and sip some flammables diluted with egg nog. roll Waits or Biram, or just plain fall asleep. zzzzz.......................

merry solstice,
