Jula and I went up to Rocky Mountain National Park today and scored 3000+ vert. We rolled through the gates around 5:45am and did not have to pay the park entrance fee, dropped our first line into Upper Hidden Valley at 8am. The snow was soft but not perfect yet, our second run in this area was great… Our third line we decided to drop Sundance Mountain Bowl which is almost a 1800ft snowfield down to Fall River Road. Once you get to the bottom, find the boot pack lookers left near the rocks. It was a great morning to go snowboarding. A few pictures from today….

Went sledding with Kaleb at Loveland. Awesome day! Good spring snow and conditions.

Big changes at weknowsnow.. We’ve upgraded to Wordpress as the main blogging software backend. You might have noticed the new theme and web 2.0/ajax look. New features on the site: Speed Increase, WKS Widgets, Lightbox Image Effects (now you can click an image for full size - try it!), Trackbacks/Pings, Larger Pictures, Ajax Post Ratings and an overall better look. I’ve got all the posts and comments converted but I’m still working on upgrading the older posts with Lightbox support (1st page or two are done). The site is still hosted at Dreamhost, going on the 3rd year now.

Going sledding tomorrow, May 18th!!

….and a video… we love sledding:

Took some vacation time from work, brought AKD up sleddin. Awesome spring day! Dudes second day out and he is already dropping she-hooks and some gnar side-hilling.
