Hard to believe it’s that time of year but things are about to get crazy in Colorado! For the next 10 days I’ll be on the road, in the tradeshow for four days, on the snow demos for two days and finally relaxing towards the end of the trip. I’ll be attending the SIA Tradeshow [...]

After weeks of planning, organizing and getting ready for a move…it was finally time. Since I can no longer call Mammoth Lakes home, I packed up my truck and hit the open highway to bring my belongings up to Washington. I’m not quite sure where the end of the road is yet but Washington is [...]

That’s what is currently going on with myself so rather than sit around and do nothing, I’m making the most of my current situation and heading out to Colorado for the Copper Grand Prix.

Winter is just around the corner and I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of winter in Mammoth Lakes.  I cannot wait for the snow to take over the trees and to see this place in the full beauty of winter.  Each year I try to set new goals for the upcoming season and since I’m in [...]
