Friday 13th

Pep's log, earth date: Friday, Nov. 13th 2009

For some reason this season has been speculated to be a grand one, especially for the northwest because of this little elusive weather pattern called El Niño...for those of you who don't know a lick of Spanish that translates into... the boy. I think I've heard rumors of this boy making an appearance for many years but this year, I am a believer. This little boy has been brewing some serious storms with the most precipitation dropping in the Northwest! Baker opened with an 80in base on Nov. 12th. Eight - Zero - That's 7 feet ladies and gentleman and needs to be written in the history books. I can remember growing up in Southern Oregon and not expecting one single flake until around my Nov. 22nd birthday. Now we have 80in. bases before the 22nd. WOW! people, that is exciting! So, if this storm system is still El Niño, then what kind of tempest do you think El Hombre could produce. I am content with what El Niño has provided thus far but I can't help to wonder and dream about El Hombre. I know... sounds a little cross gender doesn't it... Still... I have wet dreams about El Hombre.

Ski Time is Nearing

I went to Alta yesterday and picked up my pass. The colorful fall leaves have mostly all disappeared from the trees, the weather was brisk and they were still blowing snow. There were a couple jumps set up from eager skiers leftover from the early snowfall last month. The ski season stoke is pulsing through the veins of many across the valley. I too carry that stoke. Looking upon the terrain that I will once again ravage to my hearts content, gave me that feeling I've felt so many times. That joyous feeling where everything in your life drops away, is left behind you, in that cold smokey crystalline air that swirls and falls to the ground in a silky silence. You move forward, always forward, looking back on occasion to see what trial you have left behind, always behind. Some moments are slow motion, like hitting that soft spot, exploding the snow, to that next moment where everything flies by like the speed of light and you can only imagine how you got to the bottom. These are the moments I crave!

Snow is in the forecast!
