Desiree and Big Mountain Mike lounging.

Evan LeFebvre, big time judge Austin Smith, and Snowboarder’s Pat Bridges.

Kyle Fischer was doing the best methods. This photo sucks, I was trying to get photos of him all day.  So this is the best I got.

Everyone is in town right now, town being Big Bear. Here Mark (Deadlung) Edlund is key gripping for Skeleton Crew main man Evan LeFebvre.

“What trick are you gonna do?”

Desiree loves my dirty socks. In her face!

Should I? Did I?

All you have to do is look like Nima. Click above.

We had a casual visit from a coyote this morning. I snuck up close enough to take a decent photo with my elph. He had a hurt leg and was seeking refuge at the Ashbury Emporium. We tend to attract wild animals that need tending to.

I’ll be judging you Saturday along with Big Mountain Mike, Nima, and Josh Mills. Austin Smith will judge you too, and Corey Smith. Be there, be square. Don’t do anything stupid.

Lizard lookin’ stylish in his new Ashbury crew neck.

Peter Benchetler sent this photo to Big Mountain Mike a while ago, but Big Mountain takes too long… Peter made this happen. He hit that jump up there and caused all that snow attempt to take him out in defence. But Peter won’t let huge slabs of snow affect him. He made it out A-OK.

Elph footy from House of 1817 with 3 of the midwest’s brightest; Jake Olson-Elm, Ethan Diess, and Austin young.

I got my elph back. You probably didn’t miss it, but I did. We were rolling deep at Bear today too. Although I didn’t snap too many photos off. We were so deep that I didn’t even feel like I rode with anyone, if that makes sense. Well, here is Nima adding some forward lean to his snowboarding.

Eric Fernandez with his very small HD camera.

Desiree trying to blow Jared’s shot.

Someone doesn’t know how to ride a snowmobile? Jared loves it.

Clayton Shoemaker, Big Mountain Mike, and Nima going over our snowboard demo we’ll be having soon. Not the kind of demo where you get to try out snowboards, the kind that no one does in snowboarding. Like a skate demo.

Score! Big Mountain Mike dashing from Desiree’s with a new snowboard and donut.
