The Zeiset's in the Gondola at Vail. This was taken when Todd was in town.
OK here is an update on my life. As a lot of you know I started to close up Eighteen Seeds toward the end of 2005. Basically I couldn't get the funding needed and I had personally spent a lot of my savings on the venture. It was an awesome learning experience and I don't regret a thing.

So i decided to go to Colorado and spend some time being a ski bum. In January I decided to start to get a better understanding of the start up environment in CO and found an interesting one on CL. I met with the company and the people sounded great. I accepted an offer and have been working there for the last few weeks. I love it. It's great to be back in the game. Everyday I love the product more. Check it out here. I could go on for ever so if you care to hear more just email me

So the commute from Gomez's to Denver was a real pain. Yesterday I moved into my new place. Awesome apartment in Downtown Denver. I signed a 6 month lease and rent is $865....haha to NYC. I have absulutely no furnighings yet. Good excuse to spend some money. Parking (van barely fits, had to make special arrangements with the parking company), pool, roof decks, ets. It's like a loft with the bed room overlooking the living room. I plan on getting a big leather sectional sofa and a 42 inch plasma. That's pretty much it.

Tiger is enjoying himself. Next weekend I plan on staying local. May go to Breckinridge to check out some realestate.

That's all for now. Later Lee
A group of us at Snowbird, UT last weekend. Weather was great in the morning but in the afternoon the clouds set in and it got cold. Great to see the friends from back east.
Today I sent sledding with Jamie and Gomez. Beutiful day out. We were on a trail and Jeff decided to tranfer to the lower trail and lost control of his sled. Here is what happen
Some Pics of Jeff getting his sled on edge. Pretty Cool!



So I was in Park City last week. Left Saturday and it snowed all day. Sunday got up, gathered the troops and hit Park City. First run of the day i loose a ski in the Powder. Kevin and Tyler helped me look for it. No luck. Wasted pretty much the whole day. Got some VOLKL Demos and couldn't get comfortable with the skis. The Next day headed to The Canyons with Brandon and Matt (Pic Above). I got some Salomon 1080 Guns (Same as my pocket rockets) and had an awesome day. We found a great place to hike up and was able to drop in off some nice snow drifts and make some fresh turns. I ended up buying the demo skis because I was going to have to buy new skis anyway. Funny thing happened to me today. Park City called and said they found my ski. It's being FedEx'd to me. haha

Here is a video taken last weekend at Vail Pass. We had three sleds and each towed two people into the Backcountry. It took us a while to find a good spot but you can see we found the Powder.

New custom prerunner bar for my van. What do you think? I wanted something that wasn't too overwhelming. Stay tuned for the sledskiing video from Vail Pass last week. I just need to figure out how to load a video.
