Yo, master of stoke
color hues disguise the blokes
A little here, a liitle there
Pictures fitting of baroque

changing of the guard

hiked gad valley the other day
passed construction on the way
something new something fast
watched them take the old away

climbed above the noise and cars
passed familiar ice age scars
old beliefs never last
fading of evening stars

gazed at the valley below
past ridges that we all know
images unsurpassed
bathed in a gloden glow

hard to explain how i feel
past memories are so real
colors nailed to the mast
faded as the old bullwheel

i am the line

cold shiver down my spine
keeps it real in my mind
moon sliver on ridgeline
climbing for the best line

friends they come times they go
loves we love foes we know
borrowed time whispered praise
beyond win, place, or show

you remember the time
wasatch sunrise sublime
simple as simple rhyme
tangent to my cosine

others may wonder when
it is time to drop in
unheard above the wind
i say i am the line

WE SOLDIERS AND WE DONT DIE

[Slaag Master]

transcendent fear

a star fell from the sky
just the other day
fell down some broken spine
happens all the time

media write it up
too many are lost
but they never tell us
what is acceptable loss

gold is made either way
the slow mo recap
leashed harness on bliss
sponsers look the other way

the conquerors of fear
the masters of fate
the lords of destiny
we all gather near

empty shells of a life
bankrupt of being
que like vampires
transfusions of meaning

by climbing the ridgeline
the truth is plain to see
the ego must die
the soul we must free

Awesome. It must be the tribe's vibes.

[Slaag Master]

tribe vibe indeed Brian!!!! my son said that the brakes failed, he skidded and went over. tumbled and rolled ending on the other side of the creek!!!! this time of year the creek is dry. fuck!!! he is over 6' but the roof was still 6" above his head. he forgot about being upside down and like in the movies tumbled onto his head when he unbuckeled. he was trying to get out of a window when someone (? but thank you very much) came down and told him to wait until he could move some large rocks and open the door. amazing that the drivers side mirror is just fine.




















so they say things happen in 3s. same day my youngest daughter sprained her ankle pretty bad on the neighbors tramp. then couple days ago my youngest son dropped a 45lb weight - as in york - on his foot breaking his pinky toe in 4 places. all things considered, i am deeply grateful!!!! tribe vibe was on their side!!!!!!

Well right NeXt store ammo, Glade he was not stoned. Great men and woman fighting for freedum. Stay safe..& PLAY NICE.

[bl2000]

2 snaps of a finger from me Slaag. Tell everyone you love 'em and to chill for a bit. After a stretch like that, it's good for them to dial it back. But you knew that.

[pipedream]

Glad to hear he's alright - but I must admit, it's probably them West Virginia plates which saved him. Mountain Momma's always looking out for her children!

[Slaag Master]

...and so we idle and spin and pretend. until the ache for deep mountain bone cold surpasses our will to desire. less ache. more memory. the frigid embrace of our loving mother of ice and snow!!!!

tribal burial grounds









the bliss brothers did a bike/hike up the western flanks of mount olympus yesterday to tend the tribal burial grounds and scatter the sacred remains of a fellow skier. "the spot" is a high point on west ridge leading to the north summit. this rocky area is next to a col that forms a wind tunnel. on the other side of the ridge the loud wind rages non stop. on the memorial side of the ridge it is calm and serene. we like to start the season by remembering friends we have lost and keeping promises that were made.

[skihost]

AMEN!!!!
