Life on tour officially begins!

For those who don't know, I am currently on tour with So-Gnar and crew for their annual Snowboard Camp Tour throughout the Midwest, PA, Japan, and the West Coast until the middle of April.  Tour started in CO at Woodward@Copper and Loveland, but it wasn't official for me until we packed seven heads + gear into a Club Wagon and headed towards Minneapolis, MN.  We were planning on leaving on Wednesday night, but due to a shit storm of bad weather in Nebraska and Iowa, we didn't leave until 3:30 Friday morning.  Smart move made by Señor Milbery because as we rolled carelessly down the highway we counted close to 100+ cars littered along the ditch, some rolled over on their roofs and a few 18-wheelers on their sides as well.  Our seven-passenger van and trailer wouldn't have stood a chance and would have been more of a sail than a vehicle.  Once in MN, we immediately hit the ski hill(and I emphasize the word hill), Buck Hill to begin the park building process.  We built until 6:30am and ended up crashing out in the lodge at the base of the mountain hill, only to wake up 30 minutes later to 15 or so campers and parents walking around our lifeless bodies.  Camp went well, but the highlight of the weekend was definitely the Mall of America.  We were like fat kids let loose in a candy store with Roseanne Barr as our guide.  This place is fucking insane!  4.2 million sq ft. to adventure and people watch.  I will tell you one thing, I have never seen so many grown-ass adults wearing YOLO shit.

Best thing so far was our Christmas dinner at an Asian all-you-can-eat buffet.  It reminded me of the scene in A Christmas Story, Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra,  ra-ra-ra-ra....
