Some more Wild fun.

Hmmmm.... Well, hope you all had an awesome Christmas and are looking forward to an amazing new year! With that.. I really would be stoked if the new year brought us some fresh snow.  : /

Instead of the usual handrail sessions that are happening this time of year, we have been resort riding day after day after day. I guess It's not at all that bad when you look at it as a hobby or a sport, but if it's your 'job' it's leaving us hurting this year. 

To not let it get us down to badly I grabbed a bunch of 32 promo and Austin Young, Krister Ralles, Dave Parker and myself did a lil jib fest for stickers and Ammo copies. It was fun stoking the kids out and tossing in some extra christmas cheer. :) 

Digger of the day!!! Can't believe I shot it.. lucky. 

Good news is, he's alright. :) 

Austin Young posing a contemplating look. 

Looks good there doesn't it? 

As is tradition this season, I brought some Venison to grill up for a midday break. 

Oh man. 

Kritter came up with a Venison dog. 

And kritter smash!!!!! 

I bet that was tasty. 

So yah, hope we get snow! If not, see on the slopes. 

keep sliding sideways my friends!

all laugh and great times! so fun riding today. 

A photo showing the creativity shredding is coming too. I had a blast on this park, I didn't even have a chance to get at everything.. I was totally distracted by one line that kept my attention for hours.

Thank you to Aaron at Wild. Got to talk to you a little bit today and it's always a pleasure.  - Aaron has been a huge part in always making sure that there will be plenty of fun on the slopes pre-season. Getting us the features we would like to play on and keeping that tow rope running smooth. Every year at this time I get to say hello,  and well, it's pretty much the best time of the year. 

Thanks for your hard work. 

and the day wouldn't be complete without... dinner. 

Grilled on the patio. 

Ay and dave show their burger grilling talents. Taking the food at hand and making masterpieces. Tasted just as good as they look. 

Awesome day of snowboarding. I hope you also are getting your fill of the tasty slopes. If not, get on it. 

thanks for checkin in.
