Mohawks and monsters

if you ask pretty much any skier who used to hang posters in high school who was on their walls one famous mohawked skier usually is the answer. Glen Plake. He's been in many ski movies including the Blizzard of Aahhh's and has has a long carrer on RSN which airs at many ski resorts nationwide. Saturday they did some filming in Telluride for his Reel Thrills TV show.
There's a segment for "crash of the day" where folks gather in a ski shop/bar to vote on the crash of the day. We attended and Dave asked his high school hero for an autograph. Plake obliged but really lit up when he saw what dave wanted him to sign. A VHS of Blizzard of Aahhh's. After the fliming Plake sat down with a few folks and Dave even got to try on a prototype AT ski boot that's still in the design phase.

We're fighting the flu so I took the weekend off from skiing and took some monsters out to play. Chaos was very excited to run around with his friends and play in the woods.
