Another great @picoskiclub and @picomtn family wee

Another great @picoskiclub and @picomtn family weekend for Nevada and her mom and dad. Getting to see her rip on her GS skis during team practice was impressive. Our friends Gunther and his wife asked how Nevada was adjusting to racing and training and I pointed at the kid ripping down the hill. His comment was "that's Nevada". He was impressed and he was also one of those guys giving her tips when she was a little little kid. Spending time with them was nice too as well as with our friends @meghamiltonmckeon and her lovely daughter @lindsay_mckeon .

@nawadas_ got to break in two new skis this weekend. Her GS skis and he new all mountain skis which weigh nothing.

@rennieandbear got to try his new touring setup which should get him into some peak fitness soon. As for us, it was ski hard then apres.

It is nice to be with our ski families. Like old times though the kids are all bigger. And to see a few families kids also start to race..

Needless to say, we are missing our son in college. We get to hopefully ski with him again during his spring break in March.

See you next weekend at Nevada's race at @killingtonmtn. She could use a bit of luck. It's her first GS race.

Thanks all. Ski you soon.

New ski day for the girl and new poke day for mom.

New ski day for the girl and new poke day for mom. Thank you Aspen East..@nawadas_

This weekend was race #2 for Nevada. She is new to

This weekend was race #2 for Nevada. She is new to this part of skiing, though she has seen a few gates in her life, it was never really competitive or as technical. Nevada is an eager learner and let's say that she is begging us to move closer to Pico so she can do this full time. The kid has a ton of natural talent, now it is up to her and for her coaches to give her the knowledge, perseverance and wisdom to be the best possible ski racer. Certainly she has sportsmanship and the willingness to be part of a team. Nevada has always exhibited that.

The Pico Mountain Ski Club program is great and we wish we were able to start Nevada in this program sooner. We told her in 2020 she could start. Well, we know where that went. She is making the best of it and she is enjoying it big time. As for our wallets, well that hurts.

We will post a video of her 2 runs, her first wasn't what she wanted; she didn't get a good understanding from the 1st slip and when the forerunners were going, she couldn't see the gate set up. The pains of drawing #1. Live and learn. She still smiled and made sure to do better her 2nd run. Video to come soon.

As for us parents, we got to see some old friends, our kids racing together; special times. And Saskadena is amazing. We want to get back their to film.

Speaking of edits, we are sorry that it's taking us a long time this year. Work, other priorities and economics have been a challenge lately. Also, the weather has been uncooperative. We are working, slowly. Give us a like to help us get motivated.

We hope you are well. Hitting the powder today here out East. The post have been amazing.

After years of Nevada asking to race; and our tell

After years of Nevada asking to race; and our telling sometime ago when she would race the fall of 2020 - well we all know how that went. Today we are very impressed with her skiing. Her first race, only a few days of training and her first time wearing all her gear; in the top 20 out of 69. I would say, not bad. Not bad.
Next week, race #2.

Footage was from dad, mom and Nevada's uncle Rennie Alba

Pico Mountain - thanks for today
Pico Ski Club -
Skiology - you are the SKI TUNE masters - next week we hope for a top 10.

Yes, it has been a while... Work, life, and other

Yes, it has been a while... Work, life, and other things getting in the way of being creative. Also, motivation. All we have to say is, thanks to Ski The East for producing that edit the other day to get us off our butts. Sneak peak of what's to come..

We hope 😉.

Whiteface; keeping fingers crossed it is good....

Nevada smashing it on her SL skis.
Stay Tuned..

What an incredible day to ski with our ski family

What an incredible day to ski with our ski family friends that we have not seen in so long due to COVID restrictions. It is like old times, but our kids are bigger, way bigger and in college or finishing or starting high school soon.

We so look forward to more days like these and taking advantage of the slopes and charm of @picomtn .

With @nawadas_ @lindsay_mckeon, her mom @meghamiltonmckeon and @lailah.p0llack_ along with our son @sandro_alba__

As they say, better late than never! Got here in the afternoon, got several laps in with Toad and Kirsten which some of you know is as rare as Gold. In fact it was their first time skiing together since COVID and they are married to each other. Almost 3 years and so glad we got to spend quality time with our ski family here. Just missing a few people like @meghamiltonmckeon and family. Plus a few others we can't tag.

Hopefully we will see them all this week. We are older, our kids are bigger and some like ours in college. Such a mind trip. Totally..

Again McMerry O'Christmas to you .

Well the day finally came, you know the big one. We hope you had a very McMerry O'Christmas, the best possible.. with @nawadas_ and our son Sandro. Nice to be all together.

Merry merry... Happy happy.

Well as they say, better late than never. Glad we listened to our subconscious and decided to make the trip up to @picomtn for some mid season powder in December! Truly uncanny and rare to be this much this time of year. Keep on hoping and thinking snow ❄️❄️❄️.

Despite it all being a lower mountain weekend Pico still has so much terrain to offer and it didn't disappoint at all. Besides we are out of shape big time. Hitting powder stashes, some wood lines and soft and creamy bumps for four plus hours straight was hard on a body not ready for these conditions.. all worth it.

It was soo good to see @bethgelber and her family for dinner and @sylvie_farbaniec's birthday. Also, being with our good friends Mike and Annabelle... Thanks for coming to ski with us. Crazy that we have known you both for so many years.oved hugging you.

Have a great week all. Happy Holidays.

Fun weekend up here @killingtonmtn and seeing our @picomtn family. Daughter scored some new race skis from our friends at Aspen East Ski Shop (thanks Dad) and it was great to see Ben and Rich at @basecamp802. Also running into close friends @vtsundayshredder and their great son Chase.. closing out the weekends with running into Jeff, Beth and Sylvie. and of course @tillidieofficial and Ryan.

Spending quality time with family that we don't get to see often. Thanksgiving with @shem.miller (brother) and Yoko (sister-in-law) and our parents in Alabama. A different kind of Thanksgiving that took over 32 years to finally accomplish. Our kids finally got to meet their youngest two year old cousins and had a blast with them.

Oh, and there are mountains here in Northern Alabama, nothing to big, though mountains indeed. All they need is some snow which hardly every happens.

We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Our son heads back to Mississippi for his finals then home for the holidays. We are really looking forward to that. It was great to be with him these last 4 days. Miss him big time.

So missed our son and are happy we are here with h

One thing we can say about Nashville, TN is that it doesn't suck like we were told. What a great city. A fantastic place for music, like nonstop and everywhere. Just awesome and stoked that our flight was pushed up by a day to experience this place. A great time for sure. So far Thanksgiving travel has gone good, keeping faith it remains that way. We forgot we are in Central Time. Nashville rocks. #nashville #travelawesome #agreatcity

Great to see you in our home town of Manhattan.... Twice in the same year and crazy that both times we are off skis. This season we have to link up to do that edit with you and the family. Our 10th official year and it might be our finale year. Love ya guys. #skiing #skifamily

Summer is coming to an end soon and we are thankful that we were able to get out on the water. This isn't something typically we do, unstepping the mast and putting the boat onto the trailer. It's work though we all had a great time and an adventure. We could have used our son here!!

Love Maine. So looking forward to living here one day.

Heading up to Five Islands for the next couple of days.
