Sorry folks . Can't manage to load pics on to blog site any longer. Just noticed that last post has exclamation marks for the intended pics. Can't see that I'm doing anything different but I'll keep trying. Meghan - help !!! May have to resort to IPad again and the cumbersome process of emailing pics to self and then uploading.
Snowmass transformed in last 10 days with 2 significant snow falls. X games at Buttermilk it seems never fails to produce the goods. Speaking of which we had a lovely evening there on Wednesday with little Gaby. The Buddy Programme laid on an evening the night before the games officially opened and we got a good taste of the events , meeting some of the stars ( Gaby asking more questions than anyone !) and seeing a bit of the practicing. Quite remarkable. Will be televised around the world and some of you may get a chance to watch.
Good week at work for both of us interspersed with some fabulous skiing / boarding. Yesterday one of our joint days off we floated through 8 inches of powder on our snowboards and at last feel we've made it to the point we can 'ride ' in reasonably steep terrain with reasonable comfort. What an amazing sensation. Switched to skis in PM and managed therefore to do Long Shot on board and skis in deepish powder on same day. A first . Hanging Valley Wall - here we come.
Had hoped to put in some good pics of skinning up Long Shot from Two Creeks last Sunday. We made it to the 3/4 way up mark with hardly a soul passing us on way down. Ski Patrol told us we were on our own when sweeping at 4pm , but no danger and we took it v carefully on way down. Mary on teleskis , me on A/T.
Went out on my teleskis next day at Snowmass in bid to try and keep up with M's progress. Having real difficulty in keeping one leg back and doing anything signicantly different from downhill skiing. Can't give up yet though.
Harry and Ian Noble arriving from London tonight to stay for 10 days . A trip Cat skiing on Richmond Ridge ( Aspen Powder tours ) planned for next Friday.

Amazing you're both persisting with telemarking! Incredible! Keep at it! Glad you've finally had snow too - it's been a while in coming.
