That is 12 in a row!

The 12 month ski cycle is now complete! The clock was ticking on September and with only 2 days left we got really lucky with the weather here in CH. Ullr blessed us with 50+ CM fresh over the past week and kept Saas Fee closed until Saturday, so it was time go!

After another crazy hectic week at work, including a 1/2 day PM Friday meeting, I left work at 5:30 directly to Jay's house in Pully to get him and head to Saas Fee. I arrived at around 6:30 and had a nice meal prepared by Jen waiting for me (thanks again!). After a little grub we were off. We arrived in Saas around 10ish and grabbed a hotel room...small but functional..with a great view!


That night we met up with Al and Milo for a few drinks and foosball.
The next AM we woke up really early to make sure we got first lift. It was a bluebird day, clear, sunny...just perfect!



We arrived at the lift at around 7:45 for the first lift, but so did everyone else:

Luckily they were mostly race teams, so when we got to the top there were still first tracks! ...my first turns!

The snow was perfect and there were many friends on the hill...Marius:


Jay and Al:



and Maitas, Brian, and Milo (not shown) The skiing was great and Jay got the shot of the year I think....very fitting that it completes my 12 month cycle!

The day ended with smiles and high fives. After getting off the hill we headed back to Pully where is was 70+ degrees and had a nice dinner on Jay's deck (2nd thanks for the dinner Jen) It was a perfect way to end the day....so now with that being said a review of the 2007 goals:
1) Stay postive+: This one is key and will always be in my life.
2) Continue to grow and be open: This takes effort, but is worth it. I have really put things in a different perspective in my life.
3) Do things that people say to you after...."are you serious": Bungee jumping, skiing in June, July, and August.
4) Do things for me, but continue to be selfless: As before ask my friends.
5) Live life and not an "existence": See above
6) Be in contact with my friends/family more: Not bad on this one. I need to call my Gramps and Jay soon.
7) Visit 10 new countries: At 6. I think I will get 2 more (Sweden and Poland)
8) Cherish everyday for at least 1 reason: Today I walked a block to get a fresh loaf of bread and made a nice breakfast....simple, but made me smile.
9) Just be: Chilling daily.
10) Ski...ski....and ski!: 12 MONTHS IN A ROW!!!
Thank you everyone that has helped me reach my goals especially my parents and KK. Much love!
