I have added a couple of pictures from the Ski Tour story. It has been crazy hot here all week. The skiing is still really good and now we are starting to get our spring skiing tans. Hopefully you all have the chance to do the same.

Kim also received a very important hoax warning today from a reliable source:

To all my dear friends,

‘Important scam warning’, I hate those hoax warnings, but this one

is important!!! Please send this to everyone on your email list.

If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a

survey and asks you to show him your bum, DO NOT show him your

bum. This is a scam!! He only wants to see your bum.

I wish I’d got this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap.

Well I’ve been sitting here reading all of your posts of ski trips and schenanigans. It occationaly sends me stewing in pits of longing for the rolling contours of unbroken wind drifts and sparsely treed knolls. So, Friday I hopped on a bus at around 2 in the morning (so Saturday if you like technicalities) and arrived in Kenting at about seven. We headed strait for Frog rock marine park. It’s got a gorgous white beach with volcanic rock headlands popping up at one side. I strung up the hammock and with the days work over and it already being sunny and hot, I swam in the cool water, dried off, swam, dried off, played in the sand a little, took a nap, chatted with some other people that came down, and headed out to see Scott play. If you’re interested in what ole Scott cook is up to check out www.scottcook.net . The websight name is a little self inflating I’d say. Well I would say if I wasn’t writhing on teeuwsen.com. Anyway some stompin’ tunes and crashing in my hammock finished things off. No better place to wake up than the beach. You can just jump in that water and straiten your head out and you’re already at where you want to be spending the day. Sorry there was no bumbling down stairs on a boogie board or anything so you’ll just have to wait for Dan’s next post to chuckle.

Well everything is just cruzing along nicely here. I am now officially wearing just the stash (moustache that is). I am not to sure it is the proper look. I mean the ladies dig it and all, but I a married. I think I may have to shave it off or get a bigger ugly stick for beating back the ladies. I will have a picture update soon.

Well I off to baby-sit the bosses kids. Building up brownie points.

Yesterday was amazing. We took the gondola up to the top of the Dachstein where we skied a short way across the glacier climbed up a ladder that was resting against a cliff, through a tunnel in the mountain, across a traverse just above about a 150 meter (not feet) cliff followed by an extremely steep run followed by two more cliffs that where even bigger, then across a ridge that dropped steeply in both directions and finally we came out on the most amazing steep and deep slope. Long and untracked just the way I like it. I captured a few of us including Kim on film so we will see if can put together another movie for you guys. I might just save it till I have a little more footage from another trip. After the first slope we hit another and another and another, but unfortunately the further we went down the warmer it got and by the end we were skiing in about 2 feet of slush. Riding on the very backs of our skis straight down the hill. If you stood up you just stopped in the middle of the hill. Heading nowhere fast. What a great run. I can’t wait till we do it again.

ANGKOR IS COMING..

Posted in China | No Comments »

Hello Everyone. I know it has been a long time since I last posted, but hey, I guess I just didn’t have much to say. Anywho….

I just got back from a glorious weekend of skiing, one of the best I have had in a long time. Went with my good buddy, Rick, and a bunch of his friends, who I guess are now slowly becoming my friends, awwe isn’t that sweet. We went for two days, one day spent at Fernie and one day at Kimberley. What a hoot! Hoot hoot! Well I won’t bore you with all the details, but I will leave you with one story, well maybe more later, but for now this is all you get.

Ok, so Rick and I have just finished skiing the morning at Kimberley and we are going to go back to our condo to get some lunch. We are standing with our skis on at the bottom of the hill by the ticket window looking down a small set of stairs, maybe a 7 set. Well we are peering down these stairs, and Rick gives me this look, it was a look that said “I wonder if we can ski down the stairs, and then we don’t have to take our skis off to ski to the car!” I looked back at him thinking exactly the same thing. We look at the stairs again, and I say “I think it is just wood with a bit of a metal edge.” At this time I am already half down them in my mind. I continue, “That wouldn’t be much different that sliding a rail in the park” My logic was that rails in the terrain park are metal and skis slide on them, so why not stairs, eh. Rick is getting all ready to go, checking it out, as was I. I think we were both briefly waiting for the other person to go first. Well screw it I am going for it what is the worst that can happen. So I slide forward and lean forward…. and then it happens, I don’t slide I stick, but the problem is I have my momentum carrying me forward. So I try to walk to keep up with my self, every step I take sticking and compounding my problem, so I am trying even faster to keep up with my self. Now remember I have skis on and I am going down straight down a set of stairs running, man I wish I had this on video… I digress, I am almost down the stairs, I near jogging speed and I think to my self I am going to make it, this will be alright. But it wasn’t meant to be, I came crashing down at the bottom, ski pops off and I land in a crumpled heap….. Rick mean while, I can only imagine his delight in watching this whole scene unfold before his eyes. I come to rest and look up and Rick is just busting a gut, but I must also confess so was I. It was pretty darn funny, maybe you had to be there. I don’t what it is, but man I must of been the dumbest skier on the hill, I mean who does this stuff. The thing is, had I waited 10 seconds longer, Rick would have gone first…. Ahh… good times.
