Day 3 of 429apallooza was another blue bird day in Park City. Tim and I woke up to another knock on the window. This morning it was Alex, we had committed to breakfast duty and it was time to get moving. Alex and I ran to the store and 45 minutes [...]

Somedays it’s very hard to decide which of the hundreds of pictures should be the Blog Picture of the Day. Today was one of those days. With so many great captured moments, it was hard to choose. Tim woke up very early this morning by the sound of Weiser’s “OH NO”. Tim was supposed to [...] After 4 hours of sleep, we woke up to the bright sunlight of Park City. Tim got ready for skiing while I wrapped up a little work in Frank. I was finishing up my monthly hours and chatting with Ed when I accidentally let my battery run down. No big deal [...] After a 9 pm departure, we began the drive down to Park City. It just isn’t 429-a-palooza without a 3 am arrival time and this year is no different. Our late start was due to the Teton Cabins holiday celebration at the Knotty Pine in Victor. The party was month late [...] Last night, nearby Driggs Idaho set a new record, -37 below 0. It was the coldest day on record for the small town. Jackson wasn’t much warmer at -20 below. The actual air feels different when it’s that cold. I was amazed as I went outside to bring the trash can in, [...] The windchill may be 5 degrees but we had a barbecue picnic at 3095 Mallard. Fresh coleslaw, crispy homemade fries, and barbecue chicken were all on the menu. We washed it down with Corona and white wine. We needed a little taste of summer! It was a cold gray Monday during which [...] Who knew that leftover pizza is the perfect pre-ski breakfast at 6 am. I certainly wouldn’t have guessed until this morning when the alarm went off and Tim immediately jumped out of bed and began microwaving. By 6:15, we were fed, caffeinated and were loading up the car for a dark climb up Glory. 12 [...] When I am really busy, like now for instance, it’s easy to forget some things you just shouldn’t. My head goes down, and I push ahead without always looking around. Tim knows just how to bring the important back into the forefront. Today was no exception. He found this article “The Secret to Being [...] Today Tim began a unique social experiment. In an effort to reduce the need to update others of his comings and goings, he installed an add-in within Outlook which allows him to update his Facebook, Skype and Twitter statuses with a single punch of the enter button. This addictive tendency allowed him [...] Despite the thermometer’s reading of 20 today, it’s has been bitterly cold in the valley. The cold crept in all day, no matter where we were. It was cold in the office, cold in the car and after forgetting to bring my ski clothes and boots inside, bitterly cold getting ready to go to [...] The former trickle of 429-a-palooza emails turned into a deluge today as everyone gets ready for another stellar year of skiing, football, margaritas, music and hilarity. For those who may not remember from last year, 429-a-palooza is the annual reunion of college friends: Mark Weiser, Chico and Mel Viscovich, Jimmie Hauschild, Jimmy Shell, [...] Today was a great day. Driving into work, it was hard not to get a little choked up by the coverage of Barack Obama’s inauguration. After 8 years of a downward spiral, there are many people who feel hope and optimism even in the biggest economic downtown of our lifetime. I hope [...] Tonight as Tim wrapped up his last meeting of the day at 10:30 pm, he looked over at me and said, “I feel like I just got out of bed, and now I am getting back in.” That is because he literally spent all day at his desk, on his computer, on the phone, on [...] For some of us, skiing is an intensely humbling experience. In my longstanding quest to learn to telemark, without looking like something is seriously wrong with the way my legs work, Tim and I went to Snow King to make some turns. Snow King has perfect terrain for learning because it’s groomed, steep without being [...] Frequently, Tim and I are hit by how fortunate we are. We live in a wonderful home, getting to love and take care of wonderful animals, Belle and Calley, and interact with two remarkable people, Ann and Scott. Now I know we’d just embarrass them if we sang their praises too much [...] For Tim, today was a day working at home wrapping up the week’s meetings and projects. He finally had a chance to go through his lists, prioritize, highlight or discard the issues that warranted attention and those that didn’t. I on the other hand went to work in the office, where we were busy [...] As I sat wondering what today’s blog title would be, I felt a crazy sensation. There was a low rumble and the bed started to shake. It was a distinct side to side motion. In fact I’d say the ground did a shimmy. Tim raced upstairs from the basement and asked if we’d had [...] Well, the avalanche reports have been starting to improve. Danger has moved from Extreme, to Considerable to today’s Moderate. But despite the downgrade, Steve Romeo still shot this picture of an avalanche crown in the backcountry just south of 25 Short. For those of you who haven’t seen the destructive capabilities [...] We may have mentioned it already but we have to celebrate Mr. Buffett’s continuing blog about his Sportsmobile adventures on the OBX. His diary, here, picks up after Nags Head and follows his travels, fishing, surfing, and relaxing in the sand. Just reading it takes Tim and I back to our wonderful, warm August [...] After a late night, last night, Monday morning arrived particularly early. When the alarm went off, we knew we had to get moving….it was just so easy to hit the snooze once or twice. But enough was enough and we finally rousted ourselves up for the day. Tim had a day full of [...] |
