In denial of my age, love to ski (at Alta mostly). Converting a UTA bus into a portable home. Love my cat, miss my dog. If I did not live near LCC i would live in Ibiza.

I have been working on deploying AI across GM & other companies & the fear of it is way under blown.
Finishing an app that will reduce the need for dev time on a github project by > 50%. At some point there will only be one coder in any Fortune 500 company & the board will report to him/her

I am in favor of ICE trying to track down illegal aliens like these. Spend the money solving this problem instead of waiting outside Home Depot

So far everything the orange turd has promised has come true... (if you include his promises to Putin and not to the usa)

I have a sore throat which makes this alta snow board worse than being water boarded

I am guessing that shareholders of tesla will sue elon in a class action suit for breach of fiduciary responsiblity. His behavior is going to kill Tesla this year. If i were any other car company i would make sure that this image is everywhere. Even dumber than vail resorts #tesla #musk

While others hiked baldy or did the wall at the Castle my mate Dane convinced me to try Secret Chute ( right next to Devil's elbow). It is as steep as Perla's and as narrow as Little chute. Hard to see in this pic and does not show how steep it was but worth the effort #alta #skiing #lcc

I was unable to get my car certified for the LCC sticker program. cottonwoodcanyons.udot.utah.gov/sticker-prog...
(tires with a tread depth of 5/32 minimum)

What a shame that she is not a car...

I was brought in to Zip2 to help train a very nice young man in how to get things done in the silicon valley. We spent about 6 months (elapsed) together (with kimball)

The fact that I had to recommend blue sky on "X" because of how he had changed is not nearly as sad as how he has responded

Two of my mates at Alta. One a former SU 23? 24 pilot who flew in Afghanistan the other an F15 pilot who likely flew everywhere. Is this an example of Alta uniting the world or alternatively the new MAGA air force! (Big hint one of them has a Ukrainian Passport) #alta #skiing #putinsucks

How to turn park city into timeshares in Boca
January 8, 2025 at 12:38 AM
This just might be the dumbest business decision in recent memory. Hardballing the Park City Ski Patrol is fatal to Park Cities brand as a luxurious getaway. Any place that needs to quibble over $2 hour for critical employees is not posh it is discount. How embarassing to be caught skiing there.

21 inches in 10 hours today at #Alta
210 closed for avalanche mitigation at 2pm

More than worth the 5 hour wait to get home.

Johhny B just sent me this great photo of him up at #Alta I call him the unofficial Mayor of Alta. Great guy, natural leader, knows how to turn antagonists into friends. Amazing person. He is one of the reasons why Alta is so special. #skiing #happynewyear

I met reed three years ago at the Bird then again at the lift house. He worked (works) for faction. Really great guy. Even better to seem him upside down on a billboard for Snowbird

Just had lunch with my former boss and at that time the best skier I ever knew. Scott Briggs was a legend even when I met him. If you read ski or skiing magazine in the 1980s scott was the publisher. Also if you want proof that skiing keeps you young he is 75 and I am jelly!

After over 120 days backcountry over the last three years I have finally been able to get in to a UAC Avalanche Rescue course. Overdue but better late than never.
Dec 3 course is the first one this season. #skiing #altabird

Today at #Alta was about 1/3 the traffic as yesterday. The parking lot is about 1/3 full. Yesterday it looked like a typical Wednesday in March. Ski touring has become the new pickleball (at least in terms of popularity)
