No Disclaimer Needed. FUCK RUSSIA.
In actuality, I had a fantastic time. At the moment, I can't wait to get on the airplane. My flight is headed to Istanbul and I couldn't be happier. I'm drinking a beer right now to celebrate.
The events are done. The hotels have emptied. For the most part...

Having a set opening day comes with a risk. Will it be great weather? Will there be enough snow? Will enough people show up for it to be a fiscally responsible idea?
In some regards it makes sense. The mountain gets to plan attractive events to get the crowds to show. Guests can plan well in...
Ok, just read a bunch of my old blog entries. Maybe they aren't entertaining to others, but I was damn well entertained. I'm starting this back up again.
Wishing I could give it a proper title.
"The Trials and Tribulations of a Self Proclaimed Ski Town Hottie."
Why that title? Because it is...
Season is starting off pretty great. I'm 5 days in so far. Haven't really learned anything new just yet, but I got to hang out with two idols in the same day. Took some laps with my friend Hans and Chris Benchetler. It's a huge compliment to be able to keep up with them (even though we only have...
First off, this posting relates strictly to those resorts in California and the resorts of Colorado within 2 hours of Summit County. All other resorts remain uninvolved; although, in my mind, Jackson and Revelstoke are magical places with all the best qualities I am about to discuss.
Unless you...
It's been a while, 3 months. 3 Months without skiing makes for a rough 3 months, but as always, I survived.
At the end of August I had this pretty swanky job. I was working as a web developer for a new clothing company based in West Los Angeles. It was pretty great, my co-workers were fantastic...
I was supposed to work ASR for Malakye this year. I was all excited to help out with Shmoozapoloza and work the Office Boyz Competition, then they struck me down and said, "Rachel, we have it covered. Go play!" Or something similar to that. And Play I did! The slackline crew was out in full...

Then next week you can vote for me :)
I didn't expect the jacket to be in the box since it weighed nothing and was so small... but alas, there it was on the bottom.
At first I thought they had mistakenly sent me the uninsulated one. Checked the tag, and it was insulated.
For the Cyan Men's Spectrum Jacket (Insulated) in a size...
I doubt it will hit 60 today. I think it is in the low 50's at the moment. I'm wearing fleece pants and a hoody at the moment. I was very excited to hear the news. Snow levels around 9000 feet. So great when your mountain goes to 11,000 something.
So here I am thinking about snow.
Looking at the...
Yesterday was a lot of fun. I was just trying random stuff. Tried some boxes again after not doing any for almost 2 weeks. Hung out with my roommate and saw my friend Laura. It was lovely. Then the bikini run happened. Every year, the college conference does a bikini run from the top, down...
So, you know when someone is all frustrated and they are complaining to you and then you comment something like, "I would help if I were there."
Well, two days ago, as I had just arrived in Mammoth from a 3 day trip to LA, my mother called me as I was getting ready to go skiing.
The conversation...
My work has about 30 pairs of next years skis that were given to us from reps. Sadly I'm the smallest person at my work and all the skis are around 174+, except a mysterious pair of 160 K2 paybacks.
We have had a solid 4 days of powder skiing this last week. They were amazing. I demoed the K2...
I have no idea why I thought writing that blog last night was a good idea. Maybe cause I needed something to think about instead of sleep. Who knows. Sorry if you read that and I so cruelly wasted your time.
Today is an absolutely beautiful day, but sadly it is not snowing and my legs are...
I suppose chronological order works.
Thursday was probably an amazing day to go skiing with a fresh 4 feet of powder, but alas, I stayed home. Friday I went out though and had a blast riding with the Danish guys. As I was sitting enjoying a nice cold beverage I met a fantastic lady named Em. It...
Last monday I attempted to have a lovely day skiing. It was definitely an attempt. As I cased every jump I tried I started to feel significant pain in my shins. So I figure I'll hit one more jump. I didn't call last run, just last jump. Apparently that is just as bad considering I some how got...
