      There is a lot of risk on frozen water. We all know the doctor when doing extreme sports . But we hold up!!!

                I've been at my parents house in MN for a couple days now.  I got sick of riding ice out west and had to be home by today anyway.  It was fun and a trial trip so I can make a few minor corrections and additions to the van for a longer (and hopefully snow filled) trip next year.

                I think they are finally getting some snow out west but when I left the couple places I was at had just turned into slabs of ice from baking in the sun during the day and then freezing at night.  Lot of injuries talking to the ski patrol because the mountain was so fast.

                Still was a good time, I skied 9/10 days out there for 4-5 hours a day.

                The Patagonia movie was a cool watch.  I think a lot of gear made now days is made to last.  Patagonia was actually my first choice going in for a shell but after touching the Arcteryx shells I couldn't put them down.  All my other layers are high end manufactures but were all bought on clearance.  I'm pretty much set on gear for the foreseeable future.  Just need a set of some thick waisted skis for next year.

                Have fun Finn666, ski fast, crash hard 😉

                              "Grindelwald" has something like 100km of piste btw., so nothing really big but still totally awesome!

                                Rafa, my home "mountain" and I say that in quotes cause it's really a hill has just 160m in vertical drop.  I would kill to have something that large nearby.  Super jealous…

                                Looks totally awesome and glad you enjoyed it!

                                  thanks mike! you're totally right, I'm super stoked to have the possibility to jump into the car and to find something that brilliant not even a full hour away from my door step!
                                  (and btw., this was just one of the many many reasons I've chosen to move to switzerland back then. I love skiing and I'm super happy to be able to do it more often now!)

                                  more pics to come btw. …still have at least 10 days of skiing ahead of me! 😉

                                    I heard from Z a few days ago he is staying next to Copper Mountain for a month. He said last week. He was skiing in 15"
                                    of fresh and it was his best ski day ever.

                                      That's good to hear, Colorado deserves some snow after the winter they had last year

                                            Broke out my powder skis yesterday Volkl Shiro 193. We got 8" of fresh. I had a blast on them until the snow started blowing off and it's icy core was revealed. Skiing ice on 119 waist width reminded me of the icy car pile up video that was posted a few weeks ago. It was fucking terrifying.
