hahahaha, i've got something similar here.  first day at a-basin during october.

140 dollar speeding ticket, 63 in a 50 in silverthorne

got my bridges back from warranty, found out they didn't warranty the second fucked up ski with a blown base.  had a hell of a time trying to ski on that.

notice an hour in that the shop mismounted one of my bindings and i keep pre-releasing out of it.  the definite high moment: 180 off a mogul, release, brake snaps off, watch my ski go renegade all the way to the bottom of the mountain.

spark notes: i love skiing too
