Heli-skiing was awesome. Best two ski days yet. Let’s just say that heli-skiing will be an annual adventure. I’ll blog about it more tomorrow and as the photos and videos trickle in from the lucky eleven.

Surprisingly after an amazing vacation it is still good to come home; don’t have to share a room with snoring friends, comfortable pillows, more moderate drinking schedule…

I also not only need a Keys, Wallet, Cell Phone door mat but also a permanent sticky on my door that says:

Leaving Town?

• Wash dishes
• Empty garbage
• Turn off excess electronics
• Turn off heat

Ming, Joe and I are in the Audi headed to Panorama for heli-skiing. I know a number of people are concerned so here are the avalanche conditions for the area. Of course the heli-ski operations describes the conditions as, “Excellent! In boot-top Pow-Pow!”
