R.I.P. Wee

We got this little farm rat in May of 1994 right after I got back from my first trip to AK. Wife wanted to name him Early, and after seeing a bald eagle rip apart a poodle at our bed and breakfast in Valdez, the cats name was E.B. Short for Eagle Bait, which morphed into Wee down the road. Wee's been from Steamboat to Boulder, Denver to Seattle. Todays his final journey. He's been trying to die, we could see it, so we helped him out today.
R.I.P. Mr. Wee, I love you.

Merry Christmas

From us to you.

The Weak in Tweak

It's been a busy week since getting home from Euroland. Actually, my body is JUST getting back to it's normal sleep schedule. No more waking up at 4am to start the day for this kid. 8am baby! I'm back!
Here's a little photo essay of the a pretty fucking rad work week. No thanks Santa, I don't need nothing, just more work weeks like this...

A week ago. Piss Point hike. Homeboy got a little cliffed out, then decided to send it to flat.
As I'm driving into the shitty from Sky on Monday morning, the river was about to Crest. Red alert time.
Came into the office with a present from the Intra-Webs best gossip and reblogging site recognizing this shit show of words.

Then picked up some people from a small online site and did some business on 14"+ of new.
Came back to the city and picked up Mid West dude and another small account, and headed back up to the mountain office.

Where Emmett prepared a $160 chicken??? Dude likes to cook.

Came back on Friday to a C3 Christmas party at the Alibi Room.

Then moved it over to the ShowBox for the CAPiTA 10 Year party.

Things got a little grey here for me. Thank God for the photo booth to see some of the people that showed up.

Apparently Milo and Peter Line are now friends.

And the Wiener is being used like a puppy by Scott Stevens to pull in the foxes.

...And Brad. Well, let's say that a picture is worth a 1000 words.

Then to end it, get a screen shot from Bern bro with Milo making thier catalog.

Good week. Can't wait for Wednesday when it's back to the hills for a dozen days of vaca! Happy Kwanza!

Mini Stevens

East coast fun at Loon. Sick Scotty Stevens steeze.

Stevens reported 4" of new snow on Wednesday December 15th. I think they were a LITTLE off.

Rahlves

Time to book a flight to Tah HOE.

Pineapple Express

Fuck it, what else you gonna do at a cabin on a Sunday? Off we went around 2PM to the hill and as we pulled into the first lot, yep...15 cars in the lot. TOTAL. Go to the ticket lady and she tells me that there were 89 guests on the hill so far. Meaning we were 90, 91, 92 and 93 (Billy in tow).
Ripped around 2 of the 3 lifts they had open and actual got first tracks down Winnies at about 3PM.

A little Gore-Tex combo'd with some Mexi-Tex (plastic bag) kept us warm and dry. Shit was pretty fun. Rain...bring it.

THIS FRIDAY at the 10 Years of CAPiTA party!

That's right. I couldn't have dreamed of anyone else. C'ept maybe Pennywise but shit, maybe they'll open up for Eddy and the crew. B-HERE!

Eye leave yoo wit dis

Seeing how my sleep patterns all fucked up and shit, AND Steven's is reporting 13" new, I decided to come into work at 4AM to get some shit done, and of course post this before peacing out to my mobile office in the Cascades. Enjoy France.

Srsly?

Get on the flight from Amsterdam to Seattle and pick up this. Holy super star the Flying Tomato is, but I think he doesn't want anyone to call him that anymore.
Anyway, I guarantee you that SKY magazine gets 10X the readership as Transworld, Snowboard, Snowboarder and Boardistain!

Cow bell

Seeing how the Boar is deaf and a little Alzheimer like these days, I got him a cow bell in Chamoix so he can feel his own vibrations walking around.

Sales Meeting Hi-lowlights

Bright eyed and bushy tailed, freshly here after plane delays and airport closures. Look at all them board bags too. The shuttle driver told us NO area's were gonna be open for the next two weeks. Hmmm, and I got 3 days in so far? Going thru the tunnel today to hit Italian POW too? Fuck, NO ONE here knows anything on that tip. Bus drivers, taxi's, hotels...locals. Cham-Clueless. But in a good way.

Toshi and Party Marty, real similar train wrecks except Marty is 11 months sober. Toshi was in contention for MVP of the trip. Nice work Tosh. Nakadachi!

Courmayeur Italy on my last day. Blue, Brad and I got a little misto over there. A 20 min ride thru one of the worlds longest tunnels, which cost $50 euro to drive thru too, and we were there. They had a meter of new snow the day before. We got it this day too. Blue getting wicked below me. Go Pro shot ta boot.
