With permission, I have taken this idea from another cult. I think it would be great here.

This is a thread to post what you are totally stoked on. Share with us your happiness.  :)

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, Dodge!

And remember, if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

Thanks dude. I'll be sure to let Geoff and Rooster what's up. That's some straight up constructive criticism. Again, thanks.


In other news, I've been updating MikeRogge.com.

Thanks to all of you that have been visiting the site. Stoked!

I will say though, it will be very hard to top Wanderland as my favorite ski movie of all time.

I've seen a couple of these "Best of" photo compilations for 2008, but this one by the Boston Globe is miles ahead of the rest. Be sure to look at pages 2 and 3 as well.

Hello PH!
just a little stoke update, yet again, i haven't been on in a while. Too much going on to dilly dally with the interwebs too much.
stoke 1, i actually enjoy my classes this semester! HELL YES! fuck engineering, hello MBA with a concentration in marketing.
stoke 2, I"M DRUNK! finally got my hands on a fifth of jeager and i'm feelin mighty good.
stoke 3, i'm going to ski some freshies tomorrow, hopefully find some good drops up in the northern regions of MI, i know it may sound odd, but Mt. Bohemia is suprisingly legit for the midwest.

so rock on ph, i'll hopefully have another update tomorrow.
peace out kids.

well the kegerator works. and so did the 6 handles of alcohol we had. fuck. first time I ever puked from drinking. now I'm hungover as fuck and some girl just called and woke me up and asked if I want to go skiing. and since I'm not one to ever turn down skiing, or girls for that matter, I'm going. Not to toot my own horn, but I feel like a trooper right now

2nd that. Wanderland, Ski Movie II, Cold Fusion, in that order, for me.


Steve and I were talking about HFTH vs Wanderland awhile ago, I pretty much agree.... the skiing in both is sick, but Wanderland has a certain vibe that just is missing from HFTH....

its been 50 and sunny and hasn't snow in a couple weeks.

but luckily some areas have been marked "closed" to keep the general population out of dangerous areas. and those areas still have fresh snow deposits. i love patrol secret stash.

Terrific day on the hill, skied a gnarly couloir in the morning and then jibbed all afternoon. Stoked.

I'm stoked on trams, shredding super tight and flat trees on park skis, hitting jumps with my friends, and playing on rails while sleeping on a couch and skiing for free courtesy of the weird and confusing ticket policies of Boyne.

Life is good.

I'm stoked on the snow my local Mt has been holding.  I don't know the last time it snowed but they have a steep double D that's been closed all season,  it's over grown and would need a ton of snow to open,  but when it's not filled in it has multiple drops and pillow lines.  Went today and it was still holding knee deep and dry powder.  It's been a weird season I've never skied this kind of snow at my local.  Did the run in only a few turns today I would have liked to have watched my run from the bottom. Ripped it pretty hard. They had a fun tractor tire bonk set up which you could springboard off of,  and a small but flowy tabletop.
[end claim] 

but seriously being stuck in Ottawa for almost 3 years it makes you appreciate the good days.

Craig I have no intention of opening Tommy's Pic this season to anyone but myself and friends until we have thoroughly tracked it out.

Stoked on a tour hunting mission which resulted in finding a fun 300ft wide (though only 400ft tall) little bowl full of sugar on crust that we boot lapped for a few hours. Ton of fun with the crew and let the girls get a feel for being on AT gear.

Stoked on a fun day at tremblant on the new Bibby's. These skis are ridiculously fun to through around in the snow and trees and turn everything into fun jibs. Pretty entertaining hearing whispers all around you in the lift line and fielding questions about why the hell you would want something so fat. Managed to find for knee deep and face shots in the trees long after the latest storm.

All around good weekend!

Not a whole lot turned out. Flat light and smooth snow covered terrain make for very little definition and not much to look at. Will prob toss a few up later anyways tho

yep. needs sunny sunny conditions for it to look reasonable. i got to play with mine for the first time last weekend. snow was good in shade, but no footy turned out. snow was thick and heavy in sun, but footy turned out good.

i'd post it and some pictures of recent trips but the picture/video buttons don't work on the fancy text editor reply box.

and i finally got black diamond pro account, but theyre out of avalungs in my size. gotta learn to hold my breath longer. bollocks.

Well, I went into UCSC thinking I could be the next Mike Rowe, doing Film and Digital Media and Marine Bio together. Once I got here I nixed film to focus on Bio, and out of nowhere with this e-seal work, I could be on my way to making some short documentary style stuff.

You guys should all go to facebook and be friends with Stelephant Colbert and Jon Sealwart. The names aren't my creation, but we've named two seals after the hosts and we think there may be a shot to get on the Report at least. I wrote the "about me"s for the both of them. I dunno, I had always wanted to see if I could ever be a comedy writer for TDS or TCR, and this is the closest I'll ever be, so I'm having fun with it.

Check them out if you're down for some geeky ass elephant sealness.

I hate the internet download restrictions at my university house...

Im stoked though that my school internet will allow me to download certain video files from a certain website at crazy fast speeds...woo! saves me nuking my bandwidth at home.

So far in class i have downloaded:
The Roots live from NYC (disk 1 and 2, music)
3 BBC Science and Islam documentaries
History Channel Documentary on Genghis Khan


how much of a nerd am i...hahaha

My boss came in to work today when three of my co-wokers and I were loading freight into some freezers. We had some contractors come last night and put this nice wood finish up around the ceiling, classing up the place. My boss turns to one of the guys and says "Sporting some wood today, huh?" He totally didnt understand why we all turned and looked at him funny.

Just stumbled my way through my first ptex job ever, but it came out great and the gaping hole in my Hellbent is now filled (the rock actually gouged the wood, I've never had a core shot that deep).

Goggle tan is getting going quite nicely.

Groomers were ripping today, such fun.

And I'm going sledding on Friday for the first time, we're going to try and Hunting Yeti it and find some booter action and pow to ski. That is, if I don't spend the whole time getting stuck.
