Last Saturday was a rare occurrence, woke up with no real plans for the day. Come Monday and you realize you blew your only shot at doing something fun for the next 5 days, is perhaps the worst feeling ever. I try my best to never burn a Saturday, this week came pretty close but got saved in a big way. At about noon, I decided it was now or never to save the day and do something fun, called Arturo and we decided a skate sesh was in order, then got the idea to bring along my little point and shoot camera (Canon SD400 which has served me very very well over the years) to try and shoot some video. Below is the evidence of a Saturday saved by a perfect little skate session. (Make sure you TURN IT UP!)

Welcome to yet another revision on the Switchskier site, if you’ve been with Switchskier for a while you have probably seen the site go thru many many revisions and upgrades, and I don’t intend to stop tweeking and playing. Switchskier has come a long way from a linux script that created a simple photo album on a server I built stashed away in a closet, using a crap .co.nr free domain name. With this revision, Switchskier marks its transformation into a “real” website, we now have a real server and domain (no more down time if my house lost power last night and the dynamic dns hasn’t updated yet). I have decided to option wordpress for the platform for it’s ease of use and easy theme-ability. There is a new twitter feed on the top right that will show short update snippets, a tag cloud for easy post navigation, and by using wordpress, I can take advantage of the really cool iPhone app to update this site where ever I am. The content really will not change much, and I will continue to post just about anything I feel is cool enough to share with my friends. The biggest improvement that wordpress brings to Switchskier is definitely the comments, so please feel free to comment away, and thanks for taking a look at the new site!
Jaouen and I hit up the 4th of July Bowl on 4th of July, might have been the best idea all summer. The snow was good enough, and the run was actually pretty long with a nice drop in on top, click the photo for the complete set.
Every once in a while Switchskier actually has some descent content to post up to the site, today is one of those times. Jaouen had the ambition to take some old footy and slice out a fresh piece of tasty ski memories, thanks bro! Have a look at a what we know as the good ‘ol days.
Also be sure to stop by www.thejaouen.com to stay current on the newest hottness to technolust after, along with good old fashion hippy ranting.
