Road Trip!

For the holidays this year, I took a few weeks and made the road trip back to Wisconsin. I saw several friends along the way from different walks of my life....

Streeto at his new home mountain... Big Mountain in Whitefish Montana

Had almost 2 weeks of cold and snow at home in WI... glad I brought the skinny skis!

Staying warm for this family pict....

Hit the road with Lara around the 29th, headed west. We swung through Wolf Creek, CO for a new years celebration with my old roomates Jen, Jason and others.

We caught a good storm followed by sunshine... love those San Juans!

Farewell cabin

We beelined for California to beat the storm of the year in.

Barely even stopped through Canyonlands Utah, Moab, or Nevada.

We beat the storm over Donner Pass literally by about 30 minutes. Shortly after, high winds and snow had the roads shut down and power out for 2 days! We hunkered down with friends Becky and Grant near Grass Valley until the storm cleared... turned out to be a good one! Some Tahoe resorts reported 10 feet when the dust settled. It was bottomless!

Abdul, Nick, Becky and I ripped it up at Sugar Bowl.

I finally got Lara to her new place in SanFran!

The snow was so good, I had to stick around a few extra days.

My last stop was through Mt. Shasta where we got a little backcountry action with the Helmet Camera Central.com crew, Chad and Eric.
