It's that time of year again: the annual ski and snowboard trip.
Regular readers of this blog will know that this happens each and every year, provided a global pandemic isn't currently underway. Last year we went to Park City and this year we're off to Lyon and Les 3 Vallées. Is there anything better than urban + mountain? I don't think so.
This year's is also unique in that I selfishly upgraded it into a slash bachelor party for myself. And that's why I'm calling it the 13th annual, plus.
So what should you expect on this blog for the next 10 days or so?
You should expect more travel, food, and snowboarding-related content, as well as more photos. I generally never travel without my Fujifilm. I'm also thinking about experimenting with more real-time posts, and possibly even multiple posts per day. Basically something more akin to a social feed. We'll see if that happens.
Regardless, if beautiful European cities and sublime mountains aren't your thing, you may want to check back in early February for our regularly scheduled city building programming.

I went snowboarding today. As always it was a lot of fun. If only Toronto had mountains.
Here is a Canadian video about snowboarding from 1985 that, I think, does an excellent job demonstrating how resistant to change we humans can sometimes be.
The video sure sounds silly today, but it probably didn’t in 1985. It aired on the CBC.
I am writing this post on my iPad and there doesn’t appear to be a way to embed the video. The Tumblr app isn’t great. So all you’re getting today is a link.
Delta: “Final destination today?”
Me: “Jackson.”
Delta: “Ooohh, everyone is going to Jackson today!”
Me: “That’s because they’ve been getting a lot of snow.”
It’s that time of year again. I’m at the airport right now about to leave for my annual retreat to the mountains.
If you know me or you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ll know that I’ve been doing this every year at roughly the same time for almost a decade. Next year will be our 10th “annual”, so that likely means we’ll have to ratchet things up a bit.
Jackson Hole received 6″ of fresh powder last night and the weather forecast for this week is filled with even more snow. However, I think we may stay off Corbet’s Couloir. (Whatever you do, don’t click-through.)
Regular scheduled programming will resume tomorrow. If you need to reach me, you know how. There never seems to be a good time to be out of the office, but traditions are traditions, right?
