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
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.

Ullr, currently residing in Middlebury, VT.
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

A Lot has changed since that awful day last April. It has been inspiring to watch your progress over the summer and fall till we were able to ski 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?j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

I'm only saying that because I don't think you're far enough along to catch me yet.
Keep up the work/fun!!!

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...
