i'll be at baker tomorrow (friday) doing one of two things:

1. ripping around on my snowboard
2. flailing around and trying to learn to ski powder on teles.

either way it should be awesome.

i ate it soooo many times at baker yesterday. deeeeeep snow + first day + lack of skiing ability = lots of snow down my pants.

still soooo fun though! :D and a great day to socialize my puppy....
