VT: A Midd Year Retrospective

So I have been injured and down and out for a bit. Needed to get back on snow somehow so I started snow shoeing first in Dec. and taking pics of friends and wife skiing but mostly my wife getting the shots. Then I got word from my surgeon that I was ok to start skiing again, albeit at a moderate rate. Pow and mellow tours have been the prescription. And getting back out has been a surreal experience. So some of the later pics are of me from the past week or so.
I owe this place some stoke :yourock:

Most of this is BC with some resort hiking prior to opening at mad river, middlebury snowbowl, and of course some from Magic Mtn Vt, my home, its been a solid year in VT and we are in a strong pattern currently. I am glad I can take part of it in some way. A lot of wife shots in the beginning, then various mags.

seriously, some one needs to document his recovery. his mental strength is through the fucking roof! he's been through hell. if you had seen him at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in the week after. there is no way you would have thought he would ski again. fucking strong mag:yourock

Man I want to and have a ton of invites for fee skiing and staying but I cant be in that terrain yet and be tempted to do something I shouldn't. Next year I am thinking.

Shadam- Naked skiing happens in the spring, look for a full year retrospective then. :wink:

Thanks for the support guys its been more work and more interesting then I imagined.

TC - great pics and great to hear you are skiing again!

TC - I'm speechless, it's almost impossible to believe you're skiing like that again. I can't believe we haven't gotten out yet.


Also, how bout that snow in Vermont this year?

Right on man. Well done. See ya out there I hope.

you know, it's spring in Tahoe now if she wants to get away.
I'm only saying that because I don't think you're far enough along to catch me yet.:wink:
Keep up the work/fun!!!:yourock:

Good work Dalton and Greg! Too bad I didn't get to hang out with you some more on Wednesday...was going to go find you guys and then the lift broke! Oh well--see you next year! haha

That's fantastic, I'm sure as a collective this board is more psyched to see pics of you on skis than just about anybody right now...
