You never know where you’re going to be when shit catches up to you, but you’d better hope it isn’t while you’re watching 10-year-olds lay the trick shit down on a bigger kicker than you got the stones for.
This looks to be the final score for the season. I’ll get a rematch next year. Now to call Pyrofloptic and TheRestlessApe and tell them they are a 2 man for Cool now…
Final diagnosis: Large tear of the lateral miniscus with no other damage. YAY! Some people rip their pants when they squat down, I rip cartilage. How’s that for extreme? Thanks fo Smella for coming to rescue me and taking care of me all afternoon AND evening, and Rob for hobbling me down the hill, and D.LaP for hanging with me in the CandyAss Ward and the Adkins for bringing me pizza.
Chute failure kills sky diver | www.rgj.com | Reno Gazette-Journal - Heavy: ?He deployed his parachute and had a problem steering it,? Mike Starck, who piloted the jump plane and was informed of the death after he landed. ?He wasn?t able to deploy his reserve for some reason and he spiraled.?
Racing the Slopes, Uphill and Down - New York Times - I can’t see “racing” backcountry AT A RESORT. That’s like having a 24 hour mtb race at Plumas PArk?!?!? “As the skiers ascended the mountain, enveloped in a thick fog, they paralleled the route of Targhee?s Dreamcatcher quad.”
Rubberneck TV - Sick videos. Check out the Misc cat for some EXTREME skydiving. As if skydiving wasn’t extreme enough…

Went up to Alpine to shoot pics and video of the Sick and Twisted Big Air Comp on sunday!
With a name like that I couldn’t help but be involved!
It was cool to watch the jumps and take pictures and video from under the kicker! @skialpine puts on a good show! Sun was blasting and the corduroy was killer! Might head back up to Alpine this weekend if the pow god puts the kaibash on the biking…
Sizzling hot bacon for February 4th through February 11th:

Canned Bacon made by Celebrity Foods in Hungary - Looks like it would be great for the next TBS bike Tour… “Join us in a opening a can of 20 year old bacon that was still just as fresh today as the day it was canned.”
This video is making the rounds. It’s likely you’ve already seen it, but if not it’s worth a peek. Of note is the thin margin of error at work here. These guys were playing it safe, making good choices, and were snow savy (the victim of the slide had his Masters in snow science). Still, things didn’t turn out so well.
On Tuesday my buddy Earl and I went up to Alpine Meadows to check out the Placer County SAR Dog Team training. It was pretty cool! The little mutts got to take helicopter rides! Looks like fun. We’re going to have to try to train the TBS quadrupedal auxiliary in the fine are of diggign’ our asses out of the snow, god forbid…
Juni, Oso, Smokey, Chloe, Toolie, Reeces. Time to go to school!
I’m a little torn about mentioning this to y’all, but, well, someone had to ski it. It’s been a great January and I’ve yet to see any tracks on this local peak. That changed this morning.
I have to confess I’m a little concerned about the access to this place. There’s a number of No Trespassing signs peppered in the trees leading up to this spot. And though I’m pretty sure we did a good job of staying on public lands and using public right-of-ways to reach what the topo-map indicates is a thoroughly public-owned piece of lovely skiing, I’m going to err on the side of caution and let the pictures speak for themselves.
So, no beta for you! Those of you who have scoped this line will put it together easy enough. And if you do, please be so kind as to not give away anything in the comments. The last thing I’d want is for the guy who put those No Trespassing signs up to see his (publically owned) backyard on proud public display. Keep it stealth, and we might be able to enjoy this a bit longer.
And the lord said, “let there be sick,” and there was sick and behold it was very sick…
Captain Redbeard and I dropped Credit Card Bowl at about oh-dark-thirty this morning. Wind was howling on the road, but disappeared altogether about 20 meters down. Pow was sick, sunrise was sick and for the most part the good Captain and I were quite well. Yes, quite well indeed…
The Cap’n demponstrated the dangers of falling in a tree well. Fortunately I was there to ease the sting by laughing at him. We agreed on a new saying: he who laughs last, bails early. Funny how that worked out…
Don’t worry. I bought him a bagel for laughing at him. We’re cool.
Trent rocks some sick lines w/o a brain bucket! We did a couple laps @ Alpine Meadows, skied some str8liners and did a short hike-up for some extra freshie.
Gonna be sschreadddding a lot this winter. Stick with me and I’ll make you famous…
