It's Flippin' Northstar Man!
As the sun rises on another lovely day, the mountain resort known as Northstar awaits Don and his snowboard companions!
Getting Up Early Is Worth It!
I hate it as much as the next person when the alarm clock goes off at 5am, but it's worth it when I beat all the other loser's who can't get out of bed to the slopes!
This shot was taken at 8:30am on a Sunday and as you can tell, I'm going to one of the first one's at the top of the mountain and that's the way I like it!
Happy Times Await Don.....
Here is a shot of your favorite party animal riding in the gondola!
Some of Don's friends like to refer to it as the ganjadola, but I have no idea what they are talking about!
Life Begins at 7000 Feet!
After a good half hour trex from the parking lot to the top of Northstar, you are rewarded with a spectacular view of Lake Tahoe!
Notice the lack of people in this shot?
That's because I get up early and beat the crowds!
Not Quite Ready For The Olympics!
I have improved greatly since I first started snowboarding, but I still can't get past the blue runs....
I am not the vertical type unless a hot girl is involved!
I think I crashed right after this photo was taken, but man I look good right here...
Did Don Really Go Down The Half Pipe?
The answer is yes.... I went down it, right down the middle of it!
I don't do air, I don't do tricks.....I like to carve....
Ready For Another Run!
Just catching my breath before heading down my favorite run at Northstar!
It's called the Powder Bowl and it rocks!
I Think I Look Like Cotton Hill!
For those of you that don't know who Cotton Hill is, I feel sorry for you!
For those of you that know who he is, will get the joke...
I swear it looks like I have no shins...
Can You Believe a Sumo Can Fly?
Well, it's true!
His name is Tiny and he comes from Japan, rumor has it that he is going to be a pit boss at Harrah's when he retires from the long jump team at Northstar....
The Case Of The Hung Over B.J.
Let's be frank about my friend B.J., he likes to drink, he likes to gamble and sometimes when the snow should be the priority, the excess booze and gaming slow the man down...
I'm not sure when I took this shot, but it was after he showed up around noon!
The First Beer of The Day!
Ok, I know you have to know your limits and such, but there is nothing better than a nice cold Pale Ale after a day in the snow!
Emmmmm........ Beer!
After B.J. Arrived It Was Time For More Runs!
My legs are just about shot by the time Mr. James is getting there...
It's a strange situation, but I am not waiting on him when there is fresh powder to enjoy...
Time For Gaming!
I love to gamble within reason. You show up with a certain amount, play, get your free drinks and NEVER go to the ATM if you lose what you came with.
By the way this slot machine did not pay crap!
A Cheap Place To Stay, The Biltmore!
When in Tahoe, check out the Biltmore.
Although they have made an attempt to go more "Vegas" than they should, it's still a cool place to hang and lose money!
The Blonde That Got Away....
I would love to tell you that this Swiss Miss ended up back in the Wilson suite at the Tahoe Biltmore, but sadley Mr. Heniken had something to say about that....
Too much drinky make Don barf and go to sleep....
The After-Party at Harrah's!
One of the best things about Tahoe is the night life and there are always women on the make!
Here's a couple of "ladies" that we hooked up with at Harrah's.
She Thinks I'm Rich!
Here's some girl that I picked up at the Biltmore....
I remember telling her something about owning Northstar and after that's it's a little fuzzy...
I did manage to wake up for a photo I guess....
