The Police State of Keystone

Snowboarding single handily saved ski resorts. That’s a bold statement to make right? Maybe not, snowboarding brought more people into snow sliding and a younger crowd. But with all that there was the resentment from the old school crowd of skiers who thought it was a fad, dangerous, and down right disgraceful. Here we are [...]

La Grave – travel diary part 2

So, you might´ve managed to read about our arrival to France in part 1, this is picture time. Those of you with mild ADHD might find this a bit easier to “read” (I supposedly have a mild form of ADHD myself, so I can make as many fucking jokes as I like about it, foo´!) [...]
