holeee mackeral kids. went to vail today for some spring skiing. tom (right) and i met up with alec and his california buddies for an exquisite day of skiing. it's already been said (i'm cheapening the experience the more i talk about it) but it was sublime! the highlights (in no particular order) were:
a) the weather. for the first couple of hours we hit blue sky again and there were no people in our area which was under the auspices of a cloudless sky in which copious amounts of ultra-violet radiation rained down on our pasty winter shells (i'm filipino, so i have a genetic pigmentation head start on my vampire-white looking homies).
b) the company. self-explanatory and reinforces the adage: the more the merrier.
c) the spring skiing conditions.
the combination of these three were so overwhelmingly organic, i didn't bother to take out the camera. but here's all the pictures i took (which are not particularly engaging).
i dressed for spring skiing which was: a running shell pant, arm warmers, a fleece cycling jersey, and long johns. endorphins are a-poppin'...
ps. it was quite mellower than the last time alec and i went. our goal this time was to ski/flow on the bowls without extreme terrain interuptions (like cornice jumping, powder hounding, or mogulsX3). more on technique than pushing the skills envelope...
pps. alec's buddy john was here. he met us on our last moab trip. he's a good kid. alec has good friends. hopefully you have good friends too. y'all don't need more friends, just work on the ones you have...
ppps. tom's our science department chair. that just shows you how excellent my department is at my high school.
