I haven’t skied in 3.5 seasons due to various ailments, surgeries and being told not to by my famed doctors.

This year however (much like I said last year) is different. I am going. I bought my 4 Pass to Copper Mountain. They open November 2. I hope to go up there and get an early day in this season. Then ski the week after Christmas and then maybe a handful more times. We’ll see. I’d like to get in enough days to justify buying a pass for next season.

Hell I even got a new jacket, so now with another season of investing in ski passes and gear, lets hope the curse has broken and I can actually go ski. I know my crazy days are behind me, I can’t go ski like I used to, but just being up there and carving some turns is really going to make me happy.

Just to keep things going, here is a regularly updated mountain cam image from Copper.

Probably some of the greatest news I have heard this year!

From the new Mighty Mighty Bosstones website:

FINALLY!

After a four+ year break in the action the Mighty Mighty Bosstones are geared up and ready to make some MORE NOISE!!! The band will mark their return to action with HOMETOWN THROWDOWN #10 @ the Middle East Club in Cambridge, MA December 26, 27, 28, 29 + 30.

I must find a way to go, if you have never seen the Bosstones live, it is a must. Without a doubt one of the best live performances ever. While I may have been disappointed with their later albums it doesn’t change the fact they knew what their fans liked and just perform the hell out of their songs.
