    Drone view of ski resort

    I've been messing around with aerial photography a bit, and last year I made a 30 second aerial video for an internal competition while I was working at Heavenly in S. Lake Tahoe as an epic mix photog. The theme was "why your workplace is awesome" or something like that...

    Dartmouth College Passion for Snow Documentary

    It was a great experience, which is prolly why I decided to stay for 8 years and two bachelors and a masters. But snow gets into your veins while you're there, which is why I gave up a great desk job to make minimum wage at Heavenly in Tahoe. :-)

    I don't have anything in particular to post yet, but recently I've become addicted to slickdeals.net. It's a deals site with a great forum base. Go there, register and set up deal alerts for skiing, etc. I promise you'll love it!

    Have you gone internet-only?

    I am still cable free (and cable internet free, I share my neighbor's now) and loving it. Lots of money in my pocket every month. I do have a DVR running on a computer, that records TV from local channels. While I can't get paid cable channels of course, I do get most of the shows I watch, in...

    Sweet Rack or Nice Box!

    Also, coming back from gunstock on sun, I saw a car w racks attached to factory rails on an suv, but such that the skis were 90 degrees from what they are normal (front to back). Cost cutting measure I suppose, since he was missing cross rails.

    Sweet Rack or Nice Box!

    Relatively speaking, it looks better than the bug itself. Does get positive comments from other skiers. The rear hatch wont be able to open all the way, because youll want to push the box all the way back. But it opens enough to get stuff out. I would prefer not to drive it to go ski, but my...
