Good Friends ...call someone you
haven't spoken to in a long, long time!
Keith Miller and I met at the Action Sports Retailer in Long Beach back in 1983. He was selling these funky t-shirt dresses and very expensive one size fits all t-shirts in wild colors that basically had zip codes for the graphics. Lordy we sold a boat load of them and before I knew it he had me out of the pleasant shop I had ensconced myself in St. Thomas and on the road traveling around the Caribbean selling his line and many other necessities. The next year we collaborated on a shirt that was called Hey Mon and if we had been smart and trademarked it in every country of the region neither one of us would be working today. Keith and I have been close friends and worked together for many years. I never minded that he was vastly more talented than myself when it came to creating graphics and producing the end product efficiently. In fact he does it so effortlessly I still enjoy watching him do his thing to this day! I you go to Hawaii, or any where in the Pacific for that matter or Las Vegas you will find his work in the best stores under his Gone Tropo trademark.
Keith has been skiing for a long time but had never seen more than a few inches of fresh on any given day. He came out to Utah to visit me and as luck would have it he caught one of the last really good 12 inch powder days we had this season. Keith likes to fly first class and rented a really good rig which helped him make the adjustment to the deep stuff real quick. I took him all over Mt. Millicent and had him riding a bunch of the Black Diamond runs down the Spine on the north side of the bowl. I think the day exceeded his expectations and he was so jazzed that probably went home and bought new skis and boots! Lord knows he talked enough about it at dinner.
Here we are with Eleni and Karen on the deck at the Silverfork Lodge in Big Cottonwood Canyon! Hey like I always tell ya ....get on the phone and call someone you miss! It will make you feel like a million $$$$.

Well I'm back in town after an epic winter in Utah ...19 Powder days over 12 inches! It's been great seeing everyone in the shop but am still hopeful to get a few more days in at some of the local mountains! I am going to continue my duties as test pilot for all of you who don't have the time or access although I am going to change up the product to include pretty much every thing we sell!!!!

For those of you who are looking for a bit more adventure, are in good shape and who feel comfortable in deep snow riding Black and Double Black Diamond runs at the big resorts I highly recommend checking out Silverton Mountain! Jen and Aaron Brill have been providing high adventure in the backcountry at a small fraction of the price of a Heli Trip since 2000! The boundaries of the ski area have expanded this year with the purchase of a key piece of property and as usual the snow is spectacular! |

Galaxy Wars: M81 versus M82
Explanation: On the left, surrounded by blue spiral arms, is spiral galaxy M81. On the right marked by red gas and dust clouds, is irregular galaxy M82. This stunning vista shows these two mammoth galaxies locked in gravitational combat, as they have been for the past billion years. The gravity from each galaxy dramatically affects the other during each hundred million-year pass. Last go-round, M82's gravity likely raised density waves rippling around M81, resulting in the richness of M81's spiral arms. But M81 left M82 with violent star forming regions and colliding gas clouds so energetic the galaxy glows in X-rays. In a few billion years only one galaxy will remain.
