I started this idea at the end of last winter – check out the Doris’s of the ’07 Southern Winter.  It is a bit of a giggle – it makes me look terrible as the Doris’s all look fantastic – and that is particularly so this last northern winter. To kick this off – or as they say at the ice hockey… we’ll puck things off with Lisa Doris … Continue reading Doris’s Of ’07/’08 Winter

Just got home from a shin-dig at Al and Jarisse’s “cabin”.  This leads me into the first pic of this post – I lent the Jeep to Californian Doris and Al had lent me the Beater Beamer… again. The passenger door doesn’t work so here is Daisy Duke (aka Little Spoon) getting herself out of the window for the inaugural run down the backside of Loveland … Continue reading More ‘Party Time’

Spring is well and truly here – soft snow and bikinis at the Basin.  Unfortunately the following pics are just my fat arse – no bikini’s I promise.  I’m testing me new skis – they seem pretty aerodynamic to me….. Wilson from Tennessee arrived today. A beer in the A-Basin carpark is compulsory – it is only 2 minutes up the road from my place and … Continue reading Party Time!!!

You guys know this is going to be a big post – this is day 2.    More cliffs to open things up.  Me showing lots of confidence going into the Montezuma Cliffs.  I won’t talk smack about how high this is – you’ll just have to come over and see it for yourself. Little Spoon has been working his mojo on this cute little Texan … Continue reading Call me Cliff

Last week Lisa Doris was on loan from the cripple and cancer kids of British Columbia. The ‘special kids’ in Colorado (aka Little Spoon and me) were jumping for joy….. (Avalanche debris at a future snowmobiling location) (Little Spoon ‘phucking’ some Beaver – silent P right) (The Beaver tickling my nose) By now I’ve filtered out all the prudes so I can be serious.  Yesterday was … Continue reading Boners and Beavers

I didn’t expect to be posting these pics at all – it hasn’t snowed in 4 days, we are in a bit of a thaw/freeze cycle and it is a long weekend (the only thing I hate more than weekends are LONG WEEKENDS). So I’ve been doing some hiking and I found some tracks coming out of the trees in the middle of no where.  After … Continue reading No jibbers allowed

After such an awesome day at Breck, Little Spoon and I had to try and top that.  There is a little Mom and Pop ski field about an hour away, deep in the rockies, and we thought that perhaps there might be a few less people about as well. We were right about there not being too many people (lift line in the background – … Continue reading Ski, Ski Cooper

First time I’ve skied Breck this year and it was a pearler of a day!!! 6 inches of fresh over night, the day started off blue bird without a breath of wind and around midday the clouds came in and it started snowing.  There were a few people about on Spring Break so dodging the lift lines meant the crew got to ski some stuff … Continue reading Best Day at Breck (thus far)

Sounds like the beginning of one of my jokes…. but this is the beginning of an awesome day skiing/hiking. I couldn’t believe how good the weather and the snow turned out today – it was busy as bloody London so we escaped to the high country.  Here is Eric, me, Dave and Little Spoon. Some portraits of the crew – warning!!!  Some of these are gay.  … Continue reading 2 Nerds, A Preacher and a Marine

I’m loving being back in the US.  10 more weeks of skiing before I’m back to NZ. There is more snow on the forecast but today was a gorgous spring kind of day.  After sleeping in (there was a bottle of scotch here yesterday arvo which has disappeared) Little Spoon and I headed up to The Basin for a couple of hours this afternoon. As … Continue reading Back in the USA
