Hey there, fellow thrill-seekers and snow enthusiasts! Grab your coffee, pull up a chair, and let me paint you a picture of my weekend, one that’s shaping up to be a wild ride into the heart of winter’s embrace.

So, there I was, sitting in the Brew, my favorite local haunt, as I watched the snow outside turn the world into a marshmallow wonderland. The view was nothing short of a winter postcard, with snowflakes dancing in the air, transforming everything into a powdery paradise. And me? I was cozily nestled inside, sipping on a hot coffee and munching on a delicious scone, reveling in the fact that the weekend had finally arrived.

Let’s rewind a bit to yesterday. Talk about a slog! Work was like being stuck in quicksand – the more I tried to find something engaging to do, the slower the time passed. But hey, all good things come to those who wait, right? And wait I did, until finally, freedom rang and I was out of there, ready to dive headfirst into the weekend.

First up, the usual – chores. You know the drill. But after ticking off the grocery list, I swung by my buddy Ronnie’s place. This guy, let me tell you, he’s like the wizard of winter sports. There he was, juggling phone calls and gearing up for his epic weekend in the Bitterroot’s pow pow. And me? I’m still a greenhorn in the snowy slopes department, but hey, we all start somewhere, right?

Ronnie, being the guru he is, handed me some tools of the trade for my own pow pow adventure. In return, I brought him a four-pack of Double Haul and some cash for the boards. Fair trade, I’d say! So, my mission now? Mount some tele bindings and get my practice on.

Last night was all about the prep. But you know how it goes – you need those little screw hole plugs before you can get down to the nitty-gritty. A minor setback, but part of the process.

And that brings us back to this morning. Here I am, ready to brave the “white fluffy, burning, white hell” (as I fondly call it), on a quest for skate ski wax from Open Road and some flash memory from Radio Shack. Yep, that means venturing into the mall – a materialistic jungle if there ever was one. But a mountain biker’s gotta do what a mountain biker’s gotta do, right?

So, stay tuned, folks! I’m about to embark on a journey that’s part cold, part thrill, and all adventure. It’s going to be a wild ride, and I can’t wait to share every snowy, exhilarating moment with you.

Stay stoked, and keep shredding the gnar!
