Thanks for everyone's concerns and thoughts. It happened on the first run in the woods, when Rider & I split off to join Chris and Eric. I was very lucky to get up from that fall without any major injuries. Other than some bruising and soreness I am totally fine. I was able to shake it off and more or less keep up with NEK till about 3:30, which was a testament to the fact that I wasn't beat up too too bad :roll: ... NEK is a speed and air monster.

I'm working on posting my report and pictures. I will probably do it today at lunch time.
I'm glad everyone enjoyed Burke
Koreshot was ripping in the trees and on the trails considering his leg was so sore :beer: I was running him pretty hard. This was the most snow we've had all at once in quite some time so I didn't want any to go to waste :grin: We did 3 or 4 runs through the "Slot" which is the glade I cut out over teh last two Autumns. The snow was deep in there as it hadn't been touched since Wednesday afternoon. More to come later...8)
Totally forgot to mention this... I got back to the lodge at the end of the day and was in the process of taking my boots off when I noticed this guy in the lodge:
Luis Guzman
He was there with his family, snowboarding. I really wanted to ask for his autograph or at least say hello cause I think is a great actor, but figured I would let him ski in peace with his family. It seems I was the only one that recognized him in the lodge cause the place was packed and nobody was looking.
I was surprised to see an accomplished and well known movie star in a resort like Burke.

Yes, Mr. Guzman was noted at lunch as well. He has a place in the NEK where he raises horses. He also appeared in the local movie "Disappearances."

When he is in the NEK he also attends the same church as me. I have sat right behind him and his family before. I agree that he is a very good actor.
I prefer to leave celebrities have a little privacy which I think is common for most NEK folk. I have seen him at Burke a number of times but I have never seen anyone asking for his autograph.

Koreshot - I remember that fall down the birches and glad it wasn't worse. Glad the snow was there for the impact after the drop off after the tree.. for those that weren't there his ski was a few feet above where he landed...
I wasn't able to take any photos on Saturday (sorry guys), but took some from Sunday showing some trail conditions and one of Ms. RIDEr....
On the Willoughby Lift looking at Fox's Folly and The Shoot on the upper right:

Ms RIDEr on Doug's Drop (she didn't appreciate me taking her on this for the first run of the day on Sunday :argue
Overall, a fantastic weekend. Thanks for TB for the great hospitality! Great skiing with everybody (even though East Bowl was pay back for me being the only boarder).
Look forward to the next time.

Thanks for that, andyzee. Pretty good for a first try on youtube. Loved the "whoah" before the face plant!
Yes, I thought so. I wish we had footage when a certain someone got stuck in the pow on Lew's Leap. :wink:

Guilty as charged! That would be me. For the record though, it happened in the flats after Lew's Leap. Experimenting again with my non-existent powder skills. There was no time for a "whoah" -- immediate face plant with my mouth wide open! That Burke powder sure tasted great!
No...I had completely forgotten about that though!!!

When I get back, I'll see if I can put music to Ms RIDEr yelling "Another one bites the dust"
You had some great shots there, AZ!!! FYI I biffed it two or three times on Sunday. Twice on the deep drifts of the Ledges. I went swimming....
