I FEEL FOR THE MEEK AND WEEKEND WARRIOR...GO SKI PALI, IT'S OPEN.

It's been a blessed life, there is not much at this point I would change except for maybe the New England Patriots having never won the Super Bowl, that would be kind of cool, but I can't change that. It sounds like Star Wars 47 was excellent last night and I look forward to seeing it even though I'm not quite into that thing. One thing I am into is skiing. Every season, when I ride The Legend for the last time of the season, as I head down to the base area, I always wonder if this will be the last time I ever have a chance to ski here, because life is full of twists and turns, and 2015 has been a very odd one for good friends getting sick or passing away, and I always remember that and I never take anything for granted. Hence, when the next ski season comes around and the Pali chair opens at Arapahoe Basin I am incredibly thankful to have made it to another season and ski at my favorite hill. More importantly as I push towards 60 years of age...the first run down Pali every season brings back life....the soul and the freedom of skiing, real skiing. For the masses that have "real" jobs and live that can only ski on the cluster fuck of the weekend, I feel for you, because whether you live in a mountain community or on the front range of Colorado, if you do not get to ski during the weekend, you are missing out on simplicity. There is rarely traffic to get to the hill, even in total shit weather and the lift lines do not exist this time of year, unless you are in Vail of course. So quit your real jobs and going skiing, it's good for you. I mean really, why even live in Colorado or it's mountains if you can't enjoy it's rewards? Christ.

Music in honor of the Super Bowl....lame. Vij includes first run on Pali of the year, also lame.

SKIING, I STILL DO THAT....13

 Legending is almost back in full swing. Plain and simply put, Arapahoe Basin will always be the FAV of A2B, nothing else compares. Every year it is a blessing to be healthy enough to get back up on the hill and ski and enjoy this place. For weekend warriors, you are basically screwed, but during the week if you live in Lakewood, it's less than an hour from driveway to Pali lift. Of course the best option to truly ski bum is to live somewhere in the county of Summit, but that has become virtually impossible these days with the cost of living an with the explosion of growth in the mountains. Long gone are the days of having one crappy job and a funky old house to live in with 5 of your buddies paying $75 a month, it's become virtually impossible to truly ski bum anymore, but I'm still doing my best to keep the tradition rolling. Earl season in Colorado this year has been fantastic, Loveland has received over 130 inches to date. Bam, go get er done.

IT'S A PRETTY FUCKED UP WORLD WHEN YOU SIT DOWN AND THINK ABOUT IT...

So don't think about it....on second thought, maybe you should think about it.....

THE LAP...MILE HIGH URBAN COWBOY CROSS...RAD STUFF

This past Sunday was a rock and roll party at the National Western Stockshow Complex thrown by MUCCY and Deirdre Moynihan. It's a difficult course in a very unique setting and everyone that shows up has a great time racing, drinking beer and eating donuts. Sorry you missed it, conditions were prime.

And this was a highlight of the day...big time. Kristin Morgan Hopkins, who lost both her legs in a car accident after being left in her car for six days off the side of the road in a snow bank, participated in the Adaptive race along with Mike Sales and had the crowd roaring as they negotiated the course two times during their event. It was way past awesome. Photo courtesy of Ryan Muncy.

A QUICK MESSAGE FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Right?

YOU PAID TO WATCH THIS? IDIOTS

I learned many years ago when Roberto Duran quit on Sugar Ray Leonard, and I paid good money ti watch it, that all this shit is a tremendous waste of mine, yours, and everyone else's money. You got take to the cleaners. 

GLUTEN, IT'S WHAT'S FOR BREAKFAST....SIDEWAYS.
