Steamblog

So this week I am skiing in beautiful Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The conditions have been pretty good, and although my legs are pretty sore this trip has re-affirmed my love for skiing in the Rockies. This morning me and my ski/snowboard accomplices found some pristine powder during the tail end of a snowfall and made our way through some stands of huge evergreens and aspen trees. It was epic. The type of snow I came out here for.

The following is a picture of my friend Evan after a long day on the mountain today.

I think that's a man who's ready for more shredding.

A quick anecdote about the town of Steamboat before I retire. There is a former ski racer named Billy Kidd who is a Steammboat legend. He won a few World Cup events and was the first American to win an Olympic medal in Alpine Skiing, at the 1964 Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. He now lives in Steamboat and wears a cowboy hat while skiing with tourists.

Shred on, my friends.
