Turkey Day 2009!

So we had two. One with the Lausanne crew (no pics..THANKS JEN AND J) and one with the GE crew. KK and I made pies, Turkey, stuffing, and of course the infamous green jello mold!







...so what am I thankful for??? To many to list but here are a few:
1) My family ..I would not be here if it wasn't for you..you are everything to me.
2) My wife....your support, your unconditional love, and just you being you
3) My friends....you rock!
4) The ability to live my dreams...Living in CH, Down, the Alps, etc, etc, etc
I give thanks for everything..daily! As always more to come!

Day 2: Zinal!

So KK, Ripz, Tamster, and I hit up Zinal for a little pisten carvin and a little scenery. The snow has still not hit CH, but it is coming. A great day overall and got us super stoked for the season to come!

Quick Trip for FR: Grenoble and Aix Le Bain

So after a nice weekend of skiing in CH the weather turned rainy and warm, so KK and I explored FR a little and hit up Grenoble...which is a very cool little city and very pretty. We walked around. Had a cafe, did a little shopping, just chilled


KK hooked up with a new do too!

That night we hit up Aix le Bains..and hit up the Bains!
Overall a cool weekend of exploring.
