The best way to describe Northstar resort is something like what you would expect from the infamous "Out Cold" resort "Snow Nook"

Roadtrip to Denver: Part 2

So today we woke up in Salt Lake, after a very non-eventful evening.Pilled in the van and drove into Wyoming. Had an interesting conversation with the locals. The clerk at the gas-station thought he knew us so didn't card us for using our cards, and told us to remember him when were famous. Drove through absolutely nothing. Ran into the sketchiest ghost town, drove a long with a bunch of crazy truckers racing each other. Finally got into Colorado and could see something and Now up in our sketchy Ramada inn in Denver and crammed 6 dudes into a smalllll ass room. Waking up early to set up the booth.

Road to Denver part 1

On the road to Denver for SIA in a creepy van...

Today was eventful. Got in the van at 8.45 am... drove 2 miles to the Biltmore at state line for a cheap breakfast. After that stopped in Reno to find some Bean Bags for the back of the van to make it very very cozy. We failed....

Stopped in Winnemucka NV for a drink... got back on the road stopped in Elko NV for some taco bell. Finally got into Utah and got to SLC at Ross's parents house set up my bed on the floor and about to go see the SLC nightlife.

Downtown Throwdown

Adventure -

The Downtown Throwdown was heading to Seattle WA. so we decided to go up and have a good time. Paul, Dylan, and Parker were covering it, so Colt and I decided to go along for a fun time. The entire trip was an adventure. We didn't hit the road until 12.30 am on friday morning, drove through the night and arrived in Seattle around 1 pm later that day.

First thing we did was go to the space needle and scope that out, then went to the rock in roll music experience museum. Later got a hotel room and hit the town. The next day the contest started so we went and it was pouring rain, but the contest stayed on schedule. The after party was pretty awesome.

The next morning woke up late to drive the 12 hours home.

Here is some proof of what went down. Paul's video and Dylans photos. are linked.

First snow

It is that time of year again here in Tahoe. That's right... the temperatures have dropped and the snow has started to fall. October 4th was first snowfall, and the next day we were out in full force shredding the 1-3 inches of Mt. Rose, NV. It was a much needed activity for all of us going stir crazy without seeing snow on the ground and not being able to make turns. Heres a few pictures from my phone...

METAL!

GO WATCH THIS!

--=123=--//,.<>

I have gone through my share of stuff that has put my life in a strange spiral the last month. Who hasn't? Well the last few events I have gone through have scared me and made me realize a few things. These things being that people.. no matter who they are will find some way to disappoint you, life is full of change, mistakes, and surprises, they are usually for the better, but you have to just go with it, and sure you can be scared of the unknown future, I am I can get scared of it sometimes. However due to a close friend who has made me realize that I am a 22 year old adventurous and fun loving kid, why worry. I got another 20 or more years of growing and learning.

Life is about learning who you are, and who you want to be... and taking the steps to get to the better person.
I do not know what changed that made me forget that... but people are generally assholes, hypocrites, d-bags, fuck ups, failures, and dont give a flying shit about you. Life is about finding the few good people that do care about you and letting them care for you no matter what. And make sure they know it... even if they one day crush you... cuz if you get crushed it only makes you a better person to rise up from the wreckage as a stronger better person.

Live life be Happy... Fuck the assholes they can be unhappy in their own personal life.

Too much Technology for Dumb ppl.

This happened a week and a half ago and this guy is pretty much FUCKED! Military Choppers practice in Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe, and almost lost the Helicopter at the bottle of Emerald Bay. Luckily he is a talented pilot.

Convinced I'm Wrong.

Don't try and sound right, just hope your honest
Trust you'll end up somewhere
That girl that made you promise
she says "try not to care"
I don't know if I'm good, and everyone knows it
You ever feel you were meant to be alone?
Because I saw a play and and a character said
that he was destined to never feel at home
Don't go tonight, I'm looking for salt in a snow globe
Because what I had is slipping fast.
Dr. Howe, Please call back
I'm not sleeping in, I don't care
I'm singing loud but no one hears
I'll wake up tomorrow and still feel wrong for these days
What I had is slipping fast
Dr. Howe Please call me back.
What good am I to anyone like this?
It's been a hard couple months I'll admit
After tonight I'm not so convinced that I'm wrong
I feel at ease with my lows, and I'll take it.
Lord knows I'll take it.
Tonight they're explainable, far from extraneous.
Always expectant
I seldom discover or turn flaws into questions.
Great questions of the times.
I guess I'm an artist who's confines brought him luck
choked by second guessing
I know that's not enough
