Boot packing the bowl

Darin and myself (along with many friends) spent the day hiking mostly aimlessly around in the highlands bowl at aspen highlands. up, down, hike, sit, STOMP!!!, slid, fall, snow, heart rate increase, food, hot tea, sunshine and much more! come join the fun and earn a pass.

My friend Slappy

Sure will miss that guy they call Slappy, he's a one of a kind. Anyone who can run around with this much energy and zest for just being alive is truly a special person. Many people make all kinds of excuses as to why they cannot ride, Max doesn't he just rides. I cannot tell you the number of times he told me his knees hurt and just probably shouldn't ride "doctors orders" but did that stop him, oh no! he'd still be out leading the monday road rides, playin' polo til wee hours of the morn. or just general ridin' in circles, you know STOMPIN'. Anyway, dude we're gonna miss the numerous phone calls "is max there", no - "well do you know when he's comin in?" no - we just know when he is here shit gets done and there's a special energy in the air, an energy we all should emulate. So stop makin excuses why you cannot do somethin and just get out there and do it. nirad
