Photo gifts...

I know I said that "Uno Attack" was the best gift of Christmas... but I got two more that surely rival for first. 

I could just say, they are all on the podium together.

My photo gifts are above in no particular order:

1)

My friend from home took this photo of a tile mosaic piece I did at a skate spot in Glacier. This time of year I'm especially missing Baker so,  it was fabulous to have a piece sent to me in a photo. Thanks Adam!

2)

Another friend of mine gave me a face shot for Christmas! At the top of the picture, you can see a puff of snow, that's him lost in the pow. Since I haven't been able to ski during the last few weeks of endless snow, this one really meant a lot! Sean is permanently on my hit list. Thanks a million and with the photo I really feel like I was there!

UNO CHAMP!

Christmas is here and the best gift of the day was "Uno Attack!"...

It's like Uno, but with a battery powered machine that spits out cards randomly to those who have to push the "uno" button. Also, there are new cards added to the game... it makes the game move really fast with unknown twists. AMAZING!

My family has been having "Uno Attack!" tournaments since 4pm today... nonstop!

People win rounds here and there, but I have absolutely dominated todays competition!

I'm the overall CHAMP, with one tournament ending in a complete shutout! 

Check out the score sheet from my epic win...

Thank you to Cachaulo and Tommy for such a great gift!

I am sure my house will get plenty of use out of this game.

The past month...

It has been a wild few weeks and I have some catching up to do on the blog...

This photo journal should fill in the blanks.

MP came to visit... 

and so did a gaggle of guys!

I broke my left clavical and a week later to the day Meg broke her right one! We both had surgery right away... same doc, same deal! We're planning an EPIC comeback for Xgames... 

Dew Tour came to Breck and so did everybody and their mom!

Tom decided to join the club... December became the month of the collarbone!

Our girl Spencer won Woman's Slopestyle at Dew! This babe not only kills it on the slopes, I'd like to add that she is killing it at life. No one was around for my surgery, so spencer stayed to help me out at home. Couldn't have done it without you and your tiramisu Spence! XOXO

And much more...

Big thanks to all my friends for all the support... 2 weeks down and 2 more to go before I can shred on snow! 

Happy Holidays and a white Christmas to all!

My thoughts...

Authenticity is the ultimate prize. To find ones true self in a sea of mayhem, is life's challenge.

Get out of merely surviving, and be truly living.

"So hold nice and close

Once you get to your soul

So that when it is cold

You won't feel so alone

'Cause the roads that you take

May just crack and break

With the changes you will confront

With each gift that you share

You may heal and repair

With each choice you make

You may help someone's day

Well I know you are strong

May your journey be long

and now I wish you the best of luck

Well I know you are strong

May your journey be long

And I wish you the best of luck."
