X games

Camp chaos went for a road trip this weekend and hit the x-games in
aspen. We watched fellow loafer Seth wescott rock the snowboard cross
and loved cheering him on! He killed the competition in the semi's but
had some challeges in the final. He walked away with a 5th place
finish overall and carried himself with honor. We saw other racers who
had challeges throw things & attitude but wescott was full of good
sportsmanship. It's a bummer that the sport does not focus on this
more. So if you happen to catch the reruns of the race look for us in
the crowd as we cheered on our hometown hero!

welcome to 2008~ six feet of snow!

2008 has started off very well. We have gotten over 6 feet (yes-FEET) of natual snow in the span of a week and have had some pretty epic days. I'm also working a lot which leaves little time for posting... here's some images that may make you want to VisitTelluride! And yes I am on my alpine skis... you try making tele turns in 6 feet of snow! Chaos is also buried up to his neck.... and that was one of the early days of the snowfall! He's becoming quite the bounder in the deepness.

happy new year

happy new year...chaos has been partying it up all night with the bubbly and some Telluride Truffles from his Maine Grammy. He managed to just sample a few since it is late and put the box away for the evening. Chances are he'll be back into it first thing tomorrow... we've got the day off and are going to ski a bit, cook up some turkey and play with the monster.

playtime

the critters take on christmas...

so as you know mu-nee kitty is a very grumpy kitty. she has taken a reccent interest in kitty toys again and santa made sure her stocking was full of them... plus a sweet kitty hat for her to wear.

Chaos found a huge bone in his stocking and demolished it! He didn't even notice that we put his Santa hat on him... we could have dressed him in a tu-tu and he wouldn't have flinched! He was a happy guy and an exhausted pup by the end of the day. We're glad he had a good day- he's currently suffering from a cold and the vet said no puppy friends for a month which is an eternity for our social puppy!

Yeah Wescott!

So our Sugarloaf buddy had a fine showing here at the Jeep King of the Mountain Race here in Telluride. Seth took home the silver and had fun doing it. We had a nice crew of sugarloaf exiles on the finishline cheering him on. At first Dave & I took the banner to the start and Seth was in the gate along with 3 others.

We yelled "go wescott" but he was in race mode and tuning out the world. Someone saw our banner and yelled "Sugarloaf" and Wescott broke his trance and looked around and spotted us and pumped his fist in the air. We then moved to the finish to watch the rest of the heats and cheer him on.

the ski tour hits telluride

The Jeep King of the Mountain Ski Tour has hit Telluride. It's a pretty big thing and we're busy making sure everyone knows about it here in town. Dave and I will be attending some shows and watching the races on Sunday afternoon. We're gonna cheer for Seth Wescott who is also a sugarloafer. Tonight we made a banner to show our support!

So when the Snowboard cross airs on TV check it out and look for us! I have to say I'm pretty happy with the way the banner came out. I think it's the best Sugarloaf logo I have ever done.
The Telluride Skier Cross will air on CBS 12/29/07 5:00-6:00pm Eastern Time
The Telluride Snowboard Cross will air on CBS 1/12/07 4:00-5:00pm Eastern Time

snow day

I got up with the dogs this morning and let them romp outside in the fresh snow. Chaos's favorite game is "stick"- it's never fetch for Chaos! He loves to play keep away with his friends then plop down and chomp on his prize!

After playtime I geared up and hit the mountain. It was a bit chilly but warm for this time of year. It's still snowing and I'm hoping Telluride gets dumped on. We've got a huge event in town next weekend and can really use this new snow.
