Back Country Boarding

So after finally getting about 5 feet of snow out here, we had an awesome week on the mountain.  Unfortunately our passes were blacked out for President's day weekend so the mountain could rake in tons of cash, but we were able to catch some of the remains of the powder yesterday, and I'm headed out to mountain in just a second.

Blaabar and I finally decided to get off the groomed runs and go through some trails in the woods and it was absolutely amazing.  Fresh powder, not a lot of people and tons of natural jumps made for an awesome time.  Although I did spend a fair amount of time buried in snow, I can't really complain at all.  After getting some pretty big air right under the chairlift and getting some cheers from the group on the lift, I went for a few more jumps and fell on my ass a ton.  This time they laughed at me.

Poker has been ridiculously swingy this month.  In 50k hands i've had 10 separate $5,000 swings which is pretty ridiculous for me.  I'm still putting together a decent month given the swings, but it's pretty depressing to lose 5k every other day and spend the next couple of days grinding it back.  Oh and here's a shoutout to rvb80, who I play against a ton and apparently follows my blog.  Hello sir, you are getting owned by my overbets lately!

Other than that life is pretty good.  Cow's been crashing with us for a couple days, but not too much epicness has happened.  Or at least not much that I'm willing to talk about here.  We did both get kicked out of Montbleu casino though.  My temporary paper ID from the state of GA still is not passing at the craps tables or poker room.  I don't think it helped when I walked up to the bar and told the bartender "I'm 15 but I wanna get drunk."  He then called the same security guard over that had booted me from the poker room, and I was told to exit the premises.  Cow quickly followed as they took his green card and started drilling him about his INS number.  I mean for fuck's sake, here's a bunch of kids in their early 20's, causing no trouble, with valid government issued ID's, who are willing to lose thousands of dollars in your casino.  But you kick them out.  Well played Montbleu.  I guess I'll have my passport on me next time to prove I'm not the 15 year old I appear to be.

Tomorrow, Speedle, Blaabar, and I will be flying pretty much the entire day getting down to West Palm Beach for the WSOP circuit event.  I still haven't really decided what I'll play, but as of now I'm planning on playing the main event and maybe a $1k the day before.  Mostly though it'll be a lot of beach time and likely some good food.  I'll try and update once or twice from down there as I know most of you sit on your computer looking at my blog smashing f5 until a new one pops up!

Bye for now,
