Snow definitely is amazing when you can get to ride it but can really suck when it traps you and paralyzes your entire city!

Since the blizzard hit on Sunday I’ve been doing everything in my power to escape.

Right as the 1st flurries were coming down we hopped in the Jeep and headed up to Stratton, VT to get our 1st day of the season in and it was PROPER!

The snow gods blessed us with a healthy dump and we got the early chair up to enjoy the freshness!

We got 1st dibs on the pow and my new Burton ride was the ultimate cruiser for the finest conditions I’ve seen this early in years.

Once the late risers showed up we took the shuttle over to Snowbowl and got it in on some untouched goodness all over again!

But after a few runs the wind kicked in so we headed for cover on the magic carpet which provided some nice shelter from the craze.

And now if the plows can clean up this mess I can finally get to whats been waiting for me in Whistler!

Trouble Andrew had their 1st show of 2010 up at Garf’s in Whistler Village Sunday night and it wouldn’t have been a true Trouble show unless there was some trouble and of course their was. Halfway through their 2nd song some wasted idiot in the front row tried to rip the mic cord out which almost ended the show. The guilty party wound up getting escorted out of the club after throwing a bottle at Trouble which hit him dead in the face! Dude didn’t skip a beat but found out after the show that this fool actually called 911 and Trouble was then escorted to the police station after the show.

Peep the last photo and you tell me who’s the guilty one??







GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!!!!!
