Colorado vs. New England Skiing

Rob — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 18:10:31 +0000

Trails. Here are the open number of trails and associated acreage for two of the very few mountains open inside the continental United States, guess which one is in CO and which one is in NE:

4 of 93 Trails
93 of 1570 Acres

10 of 140 Trails
24 of 752 Acres

I know you are probably stumped, so I’ll fill you in. Top is Loveland, CO and bottom is Killington, VT. Love how they break trails up at mountains out east here so one single top to bottom run can be like 5 or 6 different trails (or even more.) Thought this was the perfect indicator: when I saw Killington had 10 trails open I got excited until realizing that probably meant one or two. 4 trails = 93 acres of skiing (plus who knows what backcountry) at Loveland.. 10 trails = 24 acres (plus probably no backcountry) at Killington.

Skiing, Anyone?

Who’s ready for winter?? Wait, no? It’s only halfway through summer? Well its about time for the ski movie teasers to be hitting the scene, here are a couple that definitely do not suck, from Poor Boyz and Level1. I’m not going to even embed the code here because you have to watch them in HD from vimeo.com, they are too good to waste in a tiny frame. Enjoy, and remember, winter is only a few months away.

Aspen, in Video Format!

Stopped by Aspen last weekend to visit some friends and what ensued was fairly expected; lots of drinking, partying and skiing. Here is the video from our trip:

Available in HD if the tiny window above doesn’t get it done for you.

Also, for some reason the embedded video seems to be having issues; click the YouTube button to watch it over there if the playback fails.

Watch This

It’s awesome. Its also quite long, so you might be better served by downloading it. Either way, go nuts, enjoy. Really well done ski/snowboard (and not that I care, but skateboard) edit.

New Music Friday

TGIF, am I right? AM I RIGHT?? Okay, well whatever, here are some new tunes that you probably won’t hear at my party this weekend, unless Joe or I get really saucy on the ones and twos Saturday night.

Parry Gripp – Baby Monkey (Going Backwards on a Pig)

Simply put: Musical genius.

Christopher Cross – Ride Like the Wind

Does anyone know why the “budda bah bah, bah bahhh” (shut up don’t know how to translate that into words) in the chorus sounds so familiar? Is it from this song or another one? Driving me out of my mind why I can’t place this. And oh yeah, the song rules.

Redman and Method Man – Blow Your Mind (live in Paris)

90′s music shout out! This is a clip from a friend of a friend’s ski video edit, $20 for whoever can send me the full length version of this song, from this live set, I have the studio version which isn’t as “mind blowing” <-- see what I did there?? Anyway, the beat is one the best I've heard, not to mention this edit is sick.

Side note: who’s stoked to hit the slopes? If you are fb friends with me, you’ve probably noticed I’m mildly interested in the start of the season.

I Need This Bathroom in My House

I will have this bathroom in my house once I own my own place. I am readjusting my life priorities accordingly.

These pictures (friends of a friend) came up in my Facebook newsfeed yesterday. I have been wanting to plan a spring skiing day this season with jeans and a sweet jacket like that so badly. I’m going to begin searching every goodwill store from now until April.

Invite Me to Your Ski House

Rob — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:41:26 +0000

Had a sick trip to Killington this weekend, thanks to Laura for the invite and everyone else for making it a great time. Ended up with 38 or so people staying at the place, and the conditions were some of the best I’ve had out East. I’ll try to throw up some pictures soon. In the meantime anyone else that wants to invite me to their house feel free, thanks!
