I got my tickets to Colorado for Christmas week. It is going to be AWESOME. I called my Bro, and he said they are opening this week. I can't wait for the season to get rolling. Hopefully when I get home from China, there will be snow in New York and the local hills will

Earthquake in China

There was an earthquake that happened here during my stay here in China. I didn't feel it, but in Sichuan province where the epicenter was located, it measured 7.9 on the Richter scale. It was a huge tragic disaster for the Chinese. Some estimates were as high as 50,000 people dead or missing. The n

I got an opportunity to take a 6 month assignment to China to help HAVECO develop a transmission. It is pretty cool here. I bought a cool old school chinese bicycle and ride it to work every day. A case of beer is like 5 bucks and my dinner is like 2 bucks. I'm living in

I've got my ticket for Colorado from January 25th to February 2nd. I am totally stoked to go ride some real mountains. This east coast winter is just not doing it for me. My brother called and they have been getting dumped on.

I found out yesterday that Saturday December 1, 2007 could possibly be the opening day at Labrador Mountain here in NY. I looked at the webcam and they have been making snow. I'll have to get all my gear out tonight and put a quick tune on my stick.

FIRE!

I've got a steep section of hill on my property that I use for snowboarding, sledding, and general gravity powered mayhem. There is a main trail down the center that the 4x4 can get up and down. I'm trying to open up the woods on both sides for a nice glade. A necessary element of
