Despite what you may be thinking, restarting my blog was not on my list of new years resolutions this year. Having a blog is not an easy task - especially with the generous helping of guilt I place on to myself for not staying current. Then, of course, there is the situation I am in now where months have gone by since the last post. How to jump back in without feeling the need to fill in the void. A lot happened in the second half of 2007, both personally and professionally. It is my intention to drop right in, take a few steps back and then work my way in multiple directions with some highlights, concepts and accomplishments.

First, the step back. I think the best way to start a new year is to end it with an amazing day (Monday, December 31, 2007) on the slopes. Stop and imagine knee-high fresh powder below and crystal blue skies above. Oh, and the sound of people cheering as they find another stash of untouched show on the way down. If you were on Steven's Pass you already know it was simply unbelievable and the perfect way to end what turned out, for me, to be a pretty good year.

Back onto the lift. See you at the top of the run.
