Sitting here at work at the moment, and some kid just had a seizure out in the computer lab. My first 911 call. Scary stuff.Had a fantastic trip to Colorado over break!! The picture tot he right was taken up on a run called the "Y Chutes". We hiked up to the peak that's in the upper left of the image, ski'd across the spine, then hiked again up the peak above me (off the screen to the right) before skiing down. The sun was setting and the picture doesn't even come close to how gorgeous it was. The snow was blowing all around and everything was kinda glowing orange (silly auto white balance camera) and also, its a lot steeper than this picture looks, the image is slanted slightly, and he's facing mostly towards the slope.
This is the second hike across the second peak to where we dropped in. We're at 13,000' and carrying that equipment was hard work. Planes look awful close and big at that altitude!!The white thing next to Other Mike in that picture is a sign that got completely blown over with snow.
Here's a slightly better picture of it. That's Joel and I on top of the world. Felt good.
Also, there was a bit of excitement while at the hotel. For the second time (out of two) the fire alarm went off while we were in Colorado. The first time was a bit scary: Lucas woke me up in the middle of the night and the fire alarm was going off and he goes "uhh Mike? the fire alarm's going off and uh.. the hall is all full of smoke so maybe we should like.. Actually leave." >.>
This time, someone in the waxing room set off the alarms, and we all just sorta sat around in the lobby, Epic win.
