Skiing at Northstar

Over the weekend, I went to Northstar-at-Tahoe for some skiing. It was amazing, despite there only being a little over 50" of snow. It was a sunny and just perfect conditions. At Northstar, they have people at the top of lifts and at some of the jumps who are taking pictures. They take said pictures and then link them with your lift pass electronically and then you can access them online. They cost an extravagant amount of money -- just like everything else at Northstar -- to own, but none to take a screen shot of and then post to your blog. Oops. Shouldn't have said that. Pictures and synopsis of the day after the jump.

Oh yeah and did I forget to mention that the conditions were so great, I skied with my shirt off for the second half of the day. Must have forgot to mention that before you clicked the link and were forced to see it. Ha!

This was me after I went off a midsized tabletop in a mini terrain park. It was thiiiiiis big. That is my "oh-my-god-the-ground-is-so-much-closer-than-I-thought" face. 

Zack and Brittany are two of the other three that came. The guy who had the camera at the top of the lift just had a blast giving up different poses for pictures. And yes, that is actually the view from the top of the lift. Absolutely beautiful.

Here I am intently sizing up the jump and figuring out how big I can go without falling and leaving my skin on the snow and putting ice burns on my back. 

Bennet was the fourth member of the trip. He went shirtless with me. Badasses. This could be some sort of adorable family photo, if we were a family. Brittany is standing on Zack's board and doing her best not to fall. 

That was our day. It started at 4:45am and we were together until 1am the next morning. The only downside is that me and Bennet now look like lobsters. It is so bad, someone asked me how much my cousins were going for by the pound. If you can't tell I'm not a lobster, you can't afford it anyways....
