About Me





Loving life and putting it in neutral for a moment or two in Telluride, CO...Grew up in VT and love to love New England from afar...not my style to live there (you east coasters need to chill out and stop stressin'!!!) Love to travel - spontaneous road trips are the BEST and living in SW CO offers lotsa 'em! skiing skiING SKIING!!! Don't really know what i'd do without it...definitly obsessed just a tad w/ it and probably drive some people nuts talking about it year round...Not sure where I'm going or what I'm doing past today, but I like it like that! I just take life as it comes...always keep your eyes open 'cause opportunities are all around you, ya just gotta see 'em and decide whether ya got the cajones to take a leap and see what's out there when they present themselves!!!
The Ski Bum Survey
How long have you been skiing? Since I was 22 months old!!! yes, i think i ski better than i walk...or at least more gracefully ;)
Whats your style(s) of skiing? big mtn! the steeper 'n deeper the better!!!
What resort(s) do you ski at? Telluride is home for now
Whats your best (most consistent) trick? tricks...not really my bag, but I've been known to hit a box switch now and again....like I said, not really my deal!

Do you compete? no
Helmet or no helmet? no helmet...but gotta get one for some of this sick backcountry here, gettin' a little sketched in my old age ;)
Do you smoke the reefer? i am a ski bum in Colorado....take a wild guess
How often do you just get crunk?!? every now and again ;)
Do you enjoy the ski bum lifestyle? hell yeah! why else would I make sure my entire life can fit into the back of my Jeep? sometimes 'ya just gotta be able to up and GO when the snow is flyin' on the opposite side of the mtns all winter!!!
How many resorts have you been to? too many to count, unfortunatly only in North America though...
Favorites
Skis? well, i have Seths and Trouble makers...but I would seriously CUT OFF A PINKY for a pair of Volkl Gotamas...BEST SKI EVER!!!!!!!!!
Bindings? Look
Boots? Salomon
Goggles? Electric
Clothing? whatever fits and works
Gloves? a mis-matching raggedy old pair
Poles? Huh? I don't know...scratched up ones
Accessories? chapstick and i-pod
Anything else you wanna add? why do we have to have summer? or can we somehow get away with summer everywhere except ON the mountain?

I'd like to meet:

Whatever...lame question. Ya meet who ya meet, and there are chill people and there are daryls. It's all about asking questions and talking to people, and most of the time you find someone totally different than who you first perceived...that's why I don't buy into the whole 'image' thing 'cause that tends to totally pigeonhole people which is such a loss.

Music:

SO MUCH!!! Old school, new school, and everything in between!!! Yonder Mountain String Band, Widespread Panic, Leftover Salmon, Keller Williams, String Cheese Incident, Zion I, Common, Thievery Corporation, Atmosphere, HEAVYWEIGHT DUB CHAMPION!!!!, Sly and Robbie, Bunny Wailer, Iron and Wine, Moe., Crown City Rockers, De La Soul, Anthony B, Ziggy Marley, Damien Marley, obviously Bob Marley, Third World, Toots, Green Lemon, Grateful Dead, Zepplin, CCR, Johnny Cash, Manu Chou, Michael Franti, Big Wu, G love, Blackalicious, This could be never ending...

Movies:

I havn't seen a new movie since, like Anchorman or something...yeah, LONG time ago...but I love the old standbys and lesser-known ones like Dazed and Confused, The Big Lebowski, Royal Tenembaums, I Huckabees, Napoleon Dynamite, Four Rooms, Pulp Fiction, Blazing Saddles

Television:

Didn't have it for the majority of the past 2 years, so not really hooked on anything...but now that I have it back watch alot of Comedy Central at night, and occasionally indulge in my guilty little pleasure... Days of our Lives, I know,i know, SO LAME but what can I say?

Books:

Dharma Bums is my all time favorite, The River Why is also way up there, any and all Edward Abbey and Hunter S Thompson...
