evoTrip | Day 11 - Off to Ubud

Man its certainly difficult, torturous even to leave our coastal nest that we’ve grown accustomed to life in Bukit. Im really only going off of Bryce’s contagious rants and what I’ve read in books but I am pretty excited to drop in on Indonesia’s artistic and cultural center.

Our condolences…

We were informed that pro skier Shane McConkey died today while ski-basing in Europe. This is obviously shocking and tragic news and our thoughts are with the McConkey family throughout difficult times.

From Bryce:

For many reasons, Shane McConkey is the reason that I and so many others love to ski. His passing today is a massive loss for all of us who have made the sport an integral part of our lives. Among so many other things Shane has brought us fat skis, rocker, and most importantly, a personality committed to having fun in the absence of pretentiousness. Growing up I watched in awe early Gaffney and MSP films as Shane destroyed Tahoe and AK lines and only recently had the honour of knowing him after he signed with K2 Skis.

I know that I speak for us all when I send my condolences to his wife, child, close friends and family.

With Respect,
Bryce

Revision | Spring Break Northern Idaho

Not everyone remembers an experience the same way. Danny seems to have stored the memory of our recent trip to Idaho in a different section of his brain than I did, and he requested that I post his diary entry for all to see (just to clear up any confusion). So here’s what he has to say…

My Trip to Idaho, by Danny Martin

Dear Diary:
A few weeks ago, I’m sitting at my desk and a message pops up. Its Courtney. She’s sitting right behind me, but still chooses to communicate electrocially. Mostly because she doesn’t want anyone to find out she does about 2% work all day. Anyway, she wants to know if I would like to head over to Sandpoint with her, Clark, and Kate. Excited? Yup. What could be better than a spring break adventure at Schweitzer. Unfortunately, I drew the short straw and had to ride with Kate.

Because of Kate’s usual lack of planning, we left evo mid day on Friday. We caravanned with Courtney and Clark, except they managed to leave at the reasonable hour of 9:30am. The weather forecast looked meager, but with the Stomp Games happening that weekend we were all excited. Being from the East Coast, Kate always gets excited to ski a mountain with over 350 vertical feet, but Courtney, Clarke and myself were especially pumped to go back to Schweitzer - a great mountain all of us had spent many seasons skiing in the past.

Leaving Seattle went smoothly. It was lunchtime, so Kate and I grabbed sandwiches and hit the road. Open country and sunshine ahead, rain, heavy traffic, and the crowded city behind… things were looking good. Kate was driving Patricks car, a bro brah dude mobile super iced out with a pimpin’ system. After she demanded we listen to Tone Loc’s “Funky Cold Medina” thirty times in a row, I went to grab a new CD. When I was finished rummaging through the stale French fries, loose change, and crumpled receipts I grabbed a cd and looked up. Lights and sirens… Great, not even to Ellensburg and Kate is breaking the law again. Strike one.

It’s a mustache kind of day…

Frosting mustaches are cool. Today we came to the realization that Funfetti cupcake-making is near artistic. The ideal combination, in my opinion, is Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix topped with Betty Crocker Rainbow Chip frosting.

I used to be against inter-brand baking. But I’ve grown older, and wiser, my pallete has developed and matured, and I’ve begun to notice and pay heed to things like leaves on trees, stoplights, a good, untraditionally painted picket fence and perfectly wrapped, thin scarves. Thus, I now mix brands… It’s corollary.

Discount Whistler tix | Plus FREE tee

It’s simple:

Discount WB lift ticket + get your ticket at evo = FREE tee from Casual
If you’re heading north to WB, pick up your lift tickets before you go and save up to $11 per ticket. On top of that you’ll snag yourself a sweet tee. Plus you’ll get to say hi to all the evo store staff.

That sounds to me like a trifecta – three obvious reasons to pop in before cruising to WB.

*Limit one t-shirt per customer.

evoTrip | Day 10 - A lesson in relaxation

A fresh start with another session of Yoga was followed up with yet another delicious breakfast that seamlessly transitioned to another day of relaxation. I probably spent most of my day poolside and reading.

evoTrip | Day 9 - Scootering, more monkeys and temples!

We kicked the day off with some Yoga over at Temple Lodge…. the setting couldn’t have been more perfect. It was just our group and Claire our new friend who is staying with us over at Mu Bali lodge. It was really the first time I’d ever done yoga… it was so incredible. I am going to try and keep doing this when I get back home.
