Today, however, was nothing short of incredible. The skies cleared and we had a bluebird day in the chopper. We skied about 24,000 vertical feet of terrain in 6 runs. It was the kind of day you dream about (or I dream about). I don't want it to end.
Here's a shot of me and the end of the day taken on my point and shoot Canon Powershot.
EDDY WOULD GO, MIKE WENT.
(04.02.10)Gorgeous - but where are all the people? Guess that's why they call it the last US frontier. Have fun with the animals!

Every since I was a kid, I have dreamed of one day going to Alaska and heli-boarding on the glaciers. I'd watch the snowboard pros in the movies and say to myself: "that would be the coolest thing one could ever do."
Well, I've worked hard and saved my pennies. It's time to kick this one off the ol' bucket list. My dream becomes a reality starting tomorrow morning.
I depart John Wayne airport at 8am and begin my journey to VALDEZ, ALASKA where I'll be for the next week exploring the glaciers with a snowboard strapped to my feet with THIS company. I CANNOT WAIT. For me, this really is a dream come true.
Supposedly the lodge I'm staying at has WiFi, so check back for daily updates and photos.
Dude, this is on my list too. I should have started saving my pennies so I could have filmed you gliding down that oh so sweet mountain. Have fun, can't wait to see some pics, and if you see an avalanche... turn.

Even Chuck Norris himself couldn't roundhouse kick his way into your realms of radness.

(03.23.10)Erin - the getting ready shots and reception were at The Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica. The ceremony was held at Buerge Chapel in Pacific Palisades just a few minutes away. It was such a rad day.
(03.23.10)Great job! Holy ginormous balloons. And I just saw your tweet at the top. First, I think it's hilarious you called him a "douche" and posted that on your blog. Second, I LOVE the music on your website. I want to steal it and put it on mine just so I can listen to it. He must be a douche.
(03.24.10)I love this wedding! The pics are fabulous, Mike!
(03.28.10)Amazing colors! Beautiful shots, Mike. I'm referring you to a few friends who want some family portraits.
