Here are some of the pics from my skiing adventure.

So for the first time in 11 years I took out some skis. I knew that I needed some sweet gear to celebrate the occasion. I rocked a D.A.R.E. t-shirt to show my support for the kids and some clothing that was remisicent of 1996 (AKA the last time I might have had skis on). Howard and Danny also got in on the action. Howard transformed into Howie the second he got his gear on.

Some stretching to start the day.



Then we were straight rockin it.

Howie cruzin

Just another day for the brothers Tarpey.

What's up baby

Man Down

Consider the spot owned

I am pretty sure I am jammin to Hall and Oates in this pic. Friggin Sweet

All in all, the day was a success. We even busted a few sweet tricks... I don't think I will be givin up my snowboards anytime soon, but I might need to bust out the gear from time to time.

You wish you could...

Took out skis for the first time in 11 years. More blogs to come.

Late Season Snow

Just a little show from the walk home...

Work

Work has crawled by today... I need an escape from the mountain. Looks like I will be heading off in a few days (that is if they ever get the road fixed).

Not sure where I'll be headed, just far far away.

Birthday

It was time for a birthday again because my parents got it on nine months or so before March 4, many many years ago. The full run of picutes are on my photobucket account.

I started the night out at Hoot's where a lot of people bought me drinks and I got some free games of pool in and then played some darts. (note the sweet power line in the side of my head... once again, screw you BOB.)

Then we rolled back to the crib and pregamed for the rest of the night. I was grillin the camera.

We then went to Ember. Somebody at another table got this desert, but we were told it was too late to order food. Howard got a little pissed.

Luckily Foxfire was willing to serve us. I even got some birthday cake. I am not sure exactly where it came from but it was delicious. I am pretty sure that Zana made it all happen.

Zana owned the cake and Dustin just spaced out.

Then these guys got some wings... Howard is a vegetarian (when he is sober)

While we were wingin it, that guy was destroying the cake. Howard did not approve and Bob was jealous.

I don't really have an explanation for this picture.

All in all, a great night. Not too bad of a hangover and woke up to snow. The resort life is tough. Can't wait to make it to Colorado at the end of the month.

Last Days

Another week at the shoe and another group of internationals goin home (AKA deported to Cuba)

Sergio enjoyed the final hours of his stay


FJ just wanted somebody to spoon him

Diogo and Julie chilled and had a few beers... the dude on the right got drunk and wanted to fight this guy. Douche

Julie was a little bummed out

And who knows, maybe the South will rise again. Only this time it will be in South America. Damn redneck roomates.

Parents Day

Before my birthday I managed to trick my parents into a day here at the shoe. The conditions were epic and my padre broke in his new skis with the $1100+ price tag. All in all, a great day. I love these people.

My mother in action

Francis working...... haha

Breakin in the new skis

I think they had a good time

Sergio shows off his moves

This is the greatest video on the internet. I dare you to beat it.

The Last Khaki Run with the Serg

I was busy "working" one day


On decorating my laptop

When sergio showed up with the amazing Belen and said "Hey loser, let's make one last sweet run in our khakis."

Soon we had our boards and some sweet gloves that worked well with out khakis so we headed out.

Believe it or not we were victorious. Khaki Run number 3 completed. HIGH FIVE

Bob gives a haircut...

So it is the time of season for me to do something stupid so I decided to get a creative haircut which turned out ok. Basically I have a Vanilla Ice style mohawk. The process was simple until I asked my roomate to cut a stripe in the side (remembers 5th grade haircuts).

This is the start of it all.

Everything seemed OK

He apparently didn't know what a stripe was and started cutting a chunk out of the side of my head.

Damnit Bob

Video of the finished style is available at my photobucket account. I hope this grows out before the wedding I am in at the end of the month.
