My parents just visited from Florida and brought us some cups as gifts. Ok, I can use some nice big cups for some Summer beverages and our existing ones I’ve actually seen too much. So, it would be nice to put some new cups into to play. Cups are cups, right? Not exactly. These cups [...]

Continued from Part 1 Is it really mid July? It seems like winter has just ended and Spring should be arriving, but that really didn’t happen here in California. The Sierra’s have been cool, which has been helping to preserve the snowpack. The mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe are usually all green by now, except for some portions. [...]

I’ve recently received the Contour GPS HD helmet video camera with full 1080p capabilities and have just un-boxed it. Although I’ve seen them being used by skiers, snowboarders and off-road motorcycle riders, I’ve haven’t actually held one until now. Yes, its light and small for all of its advertised qualities. There is not a screen on the [...]
After being delayed due to the recently un-seasonally high temperatures, the skiing and snowboarding is underway in New Zealand. Mt Hutt opened two days ago and Coronet Peak, just outside of Queenstown, will be opening on June 30, 2011. Usually, they have already been open for a few weeks, but all will soon be forgotten [...]
After an abundance of snow fell throughout North America during the Winter, this weekend really will be the last hurrah for skiing and snowboarding for the 2010-11 season. So before bidding farewell to La Nina, which was written about extensively last Fall and early Winter (including us), there is one last chance to grab your [...]
What to do now that summer is here? Although Alpine Meadows just reported 12″ new and Snowbasin in Utah, has just announced weekend re-openings as long as the snow is lingering, so begins the skiers and snowboarders off season. Since there won’t be much powder or snow making the headlines in the near future and there will be a diminishing of anything related [...]
