Hey fellow Bloobyrds. It’s been a long while since I posted anything new and although that’s been in large part due to the fact that snow is just beginning to fall again, the major reason is that I’ve been occupied by my new full-time gig. That’s right…somebody thought well enough of this little [...]
Anyone who’s ever joked about or actually participated in a Chinese Downhill race has “Hot Dog” to thank. Released in January of 1984, it set the stage for other teen sex comedies of its kind like “Snowballing” and “Ski School“, and became one of the iconic films of the entire decade.

The recent heavy snowfall in the western U.S. hasn’t been good news for everyone on the slopes, especially those involved in the Freeride World Tour at Squaw Valley. Unfortunately, after a successful first day of competition on the Silverado Face, a storm rolled in and made conditions on the elusive Tram Face too dicey [...]
Well, I can hear the heavy pitter-patter of rain drops outside my window once again which means people at higher elevations are having alot more fun than me. The Sierras have been getting crushed over the past 24-48 hours with over two feet of snow in most places. And it should continue coming [...]

It’s my pleasure to hand the mic off to a good friend, Tony Rogondino, for the first of a series of special guest posts. Tony and I met years ago in Los Angeles where he still resides and spends his days managing Todd Hannigan’s burgeoning record label, Brotheryn Records.
The holidays are a perfect for [...]
I recently shared an article from Ski Magazine that discusses the state of highway traffic into and out of the mountains of the Lake Tahoe area and Summit County, Colorado. This is a major issue not only because of the extra hour or two (or more!) of driving time you can expect if you [...]
At long last, and just in time for the holiday break, a major storm is ready to blow into California tonight, dumping substantial amounts of snow on the Sierras. Nevermind the severe cold and wind that’s expected to accompany the precipitation…we’ll take anything we can get at this point.
The storm should last through the [...]
A cliff band just to the skier’s left of the KT-22 Express lift at Squaw is lovingly referred to as The Fingers. On powder days, as the line up the KT lift gets backed up, those lucky few who managed to get on at the front have the pleasure of racing down to hit [...]
Gone are the days when social networking sites were monopolized by tech dorks, 13 year old boys and the pedophiles that adore them. That’s right, several Tahoe resorts offer visitors a variety of social networking tools that allow you to keep up to date with what’s going on, add your own photos and videos to the community and connect with others jonesing for the first snowfall of the 2008/09 season.
