I haven’t checked back in since “vacation” ended and am back cold snowy WI. Although the change of seasons is nice and shakes things up every few months, the long winters definitely get old. Every year in November, I get all riled up for snowboarding season to start. By mid February I am ready for Old Man Winter to head to the southern hemisphere for vacation for a few yearsmonths. We are working on the rest of the line for 2010 right now and starting on 2011 so at least we get to look forward to warmer times which are still a good 3 months away. My head is still in Cali. While we wait for the snow to melt, you can follow us on one of the 100,000 social networking sites that are out there here and here and find where I get my personal inspiration here. That aught to keep you busy.

When it’s 20 below freezing!

We got dumped on early again this year with 15 inches of snow. So we had to get out and get our sea legs wet early. We drove an hour and a half to get to Cascade Mountain and got hooked up with some free lift tickets.

There was a special at a local shop where you give them a fake email address and they hook you up. RalphWiggum24@FMgetsUp.com is going to be emptying out his spam folder for months now.

Madison WI has decided they are not going to use salt on the roads this year because there aren’t enough snow related accidents.  So all of the roads suck. Especially when there are crazy hoodlums driving around. (Sweet graphics on that Saturn, dude!)

Crack kills!

Nick had to do something he referred to as his pre-boarding ritual. Then we hit the slopes.

Rob’s gotta check in…. (“No I love you more, no I love you more, no you hang up first, no you hang up first….”)

You know how I roll….

After that I stripped down and hit the hottub (You must be 18 to view this image).

Boooyah. The beginning. More to come but here are some flicks. Enjoy…
