I'm a senior at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden Colorado, which is a miserable little engineering school [despite the school's claim's otherwise] who's only redeeming quality is it's proximity some some of the best skiing in the world. [I'm just bitter cuz I suck at engineering haha...] This fall I'm taking some classes and Red Rocks CC in Lakewood, then transferring to Bouldizzle in the spring. I'm always looking for new people to ski with; if you live around Golden/Boulder and love to shred trees, backcountry, cliffs, Pow-pow, ect... shoot me a message and we'll go skiing sometime, especially now that I have a truck out here. Skiing is the one thing that truly makes me feel alive and there is now better feeling in the world than hittin' a big drop or rippin' some fresh pow. I have Fridays OFF this fall so holla if you want to hit up the BC this fall; I have a 4x4 truck so road conditions are no problem, you can find me on www.skicarpool.com as well. I'm a safe BC skier with experience and have beacon/avalung/shovel ect... and am looking for similiar partners for Loveland, Berthoud, Vail Passes, East Vail BC, ect.... If you have a sled that would be amazing haha.....
