You are cordially invited (though through a relatively crude medium) to come rock some east coast ice with us, this Monday. In the spirit of honoring the late Dr. King, we will be taking to the slopes of Mountain Creek Resort, in the lovely Garden State of New Jersey. Sorry about the short notice. But hey, we thought we were moving until, well, today. January has been a heluvva month for most of us, why not unwind by making some turns on the groomers? Hit me up, if you are down.

Today I was checking the snow conditions at the local resort (which shall remain nameless, out of respect for the weak), to which we have already purchased lift tickets this season. I was excited to read a little article that said they already had a 2″ base. Just out of curiosity, I decided to see how Snowbird was doing so far this season. Let’s see, they have had 52″ of snow this season, so far. They currently have a 23″ base with 3″s fresh in the last 24 hours. Remind me again, what I’m doing out here?

Here is a picture of my new snowboard and bindings that arrived today. Woo hoo! Thanks, Reagan. I got them for my birthday. I also got some new boots and pants, which are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I’m pretty excited. Now we just need some snow to start falling.

More good news: Last night I got a message from my mom asking if she and my sister Mimi could come visit this weekend. At first I thought it was a joke, since we have had someone here for like 5 weekends straight. When I called her, she said that they really wanted to come. We are really excited. This will be Mimi’s first time meeting Piper.
