Powder Panic

Resorts and ski areas across the country have experienced an interesting phenomenon this season: powder panic. Now, don't get me wrong, skiers and snowboarders have always had that mob-mentality, freshies-frenzy when it comes to new snow and chairlift lines. People have been known to shove, push, pole and also to be shoved, pushed, poled in the mess that is the rush for first chair and tha...

The Bitch is Back

La Nina has been a cold nasty lady this winter...well, at least for the shredheads in B.C burrowing through their streets en route to the snow encrusted mountaintops. We in Aspen have had it lucky. We haven't had the slightest issue with parking in town or with having to decide if the furnace room or the fireplace is the best way to dry your ski gear. Yep, instead of shred outfit maintenance p...

Saddle Up with Pat and Tats: Episode 1

The Pat and Tats Show is back on program, and we've kicked it off with our first season of Saddle Up with Pat and Tats, presented by Tecnica/Blizzard. With minimal snowfall this early season, Pat's dreams have been full of powder shredding and good times from last season's escapades. Throw in some dirt skiing and you can call it early season! Watch this and pray for snow...it's time to shred ...

Quick edit courtesy of fellow Backcountry.com and Aspen/Snowmass team athlete, Chris Erickson. What a series of beautiful, bluebird days! So much fun out there in Aspen shredding with an amazing group of rippers. Keeping me on my toes and wind in my hair!

Trew Crew Posse Day on Ajax

Had a great time the other day with our local Trew Crew: John Pew, Casey Vandenbroek, Pat Sewell, JF Bruegger, Colter Hinchliffe, Parker Olson and more. It snowed 1/4in overnight and we took advantage of the freshies with slash-turn faceshots on every run. With this group, everyday is a powder day.

Happy New Year to YOU, Happy New Year to YOU, Happy NEW YEAR to YOU-U-U-U, Happy New Year to YOU!
Interesting day yesterday… My private kid finally showed up late, but his gloves didn’t fit, so he couldn’t hold his poles. We took some runs on lower River Run, then went inside to warm up (-5 degF) and waited for his dad to show. The dad finally did, and he and Jack’s older brother Bo went outside. Meanwhile, Jack’s hoodie couldn’t be pulled up without removing his helmet,which took time. At the lift we couldn’t find his dad andn Bo, so we went up. I got a cell call that they were coming up. Another call that they were stuck in a long lift line and to meet at the bottom after the lesson.

My a-noon lesson was the grandson of the man I taught the a-noon before…11 years old and a decent skier,though he would lean his turns. Lesson went well..his dad tipped me $200 bucks!!! I had the dad on Dollar a few days ago…240 lbs, 6″4″ and out of shape. Barely able to move…and the Magic Carpet was out! I’ll have him again in a few days.

I attended a 6-9 party at a friend’s in Hailey last night. Bummer was that my friend Katie Van Hees couldn’t come up to SV to party because she had been drinking and didn’t want to chance the drive, and planned to ski today. Her friend Janice will meet up with me later today for dinner….

It’s colder this morning…January is here with a vengeance. Colorado has a record pow December…!!! Love, Dad
