I think those fancy goggles make the helmet look a little "trailer-trashy." I think you need to get a new helmet now.

Nice write-up Amy D.

Your helmet needs flames and then it would be cool.

I was up there Saturday too. Rode chair 6 for awhile then spent the rest of the day on 11. Ok for day 1.

Went to Alpine on Sunday, blue skies and great snow conditions off Alpine Bowl. Lots of rock drops and stump jumps. Great to break in the legs for the season. Bad for my base though.

chair 6 destroys chair 11.

I like 6 cause you can do some hiking and get some top to bottom runs. i won't drive out to kirkwood and ride the lower mtn chairs --- might as well stay at heavenly then.

I went to the heave on Sunday. Their lack of off trail terrain open is pathetic. but the openned the face. very tiring doing that run a couple of times. moguls make me sleepy
