Hint of fall in the air

It was a  very comfortable 62 degrees this mornings spin around the park.
A tiny hint of fall  was definitely in the air .

TBT to the snowmageddon 2010

PS.... days are getting shorter . Fall and Winter are  coming

Shark........

Getting a little out of hand the last few weeks with all the shark bites on humans
Opted out of going south for this little summer swell and decided
to surf In Va where I knew there would be no shortage of limbs in
the water to lower the odds :) Safety in numbers?

Weekend warrior

Been very busy at work in April and May but have lucked into catching some waves every weekend in May so far . Can happily say that I was able to surf my fav. shortboard today for the first time since the knee injury ! Dare co sunrises never dissappoint.

Late March 2015

Great final trip of the season up to the mountains of West Virginia  for some snow sliding.
As usually is the case there was fresh snow , powder was  ridden, and the  weekend crowds have melted away before the snow has.

First chair  back up on Widowmaker as the sky tried to go blue on March 28th . Temp 8 degrees at 9 AM.
4 inches of blower powder  on top of  perfectly groomed slopes. Turns were  fantastic.

It took longer to  track out Snowshoe on  this Saturday late in the season than it normally does midweek mid season  since there were far less people on the hill this time of year.  After successfully doing so  a bonus session  consisted of a splitboard/ski tour   of an area that wasn't open anymore . It was holding a beautiful powder refresher.Hiking only no lifts.


Heading up

Skintrack stoke .

Virgin pow in the south on March 28th .Here's David going first .

Then I followed .

Yes the turns were very good.

Surf West Virginia

Beyond grateful to be back out riding powder after being on crutches for 5 weeks and non weight bearing at all  with a brutal knee injury back in  early winter.

February

Record setting cold and snowfall at sealevel in Virginia.

May no snow go unridden!

Teeing off on the golf course

Tree runs in Newport News , lol

Then the sun came out and after a few hours the "slopes" corned up nicely

Back to work on This Old House Newport New England edition with the little green engine that could making it happen to get the material right up to the door

Hang in there beach and summer lovers .

Might be a minute. This mornings walk revealed about 4-6 inches of frozen sea foam on the beach.
