Had a fun run down Pauley Creek today. The water was low, all the big drops went are were fun, but slightly excessive butt massage on the rest. It was a little low, but still good fun. [nggallery id=”1556″ nggid=”19″]

We had an awesome, fun day skiing/snowboarding at Alpine Meadows, near Lake Tahoe. It was a pretty day, warm spring conditions. I skiied my new (used, but new to me) Telemark skis, and had a great time, though I felt a bit wobbly and insecure.

I was looking in my Picassa albums, and saw a folder of pictures that Nickolaus and Melissa Brown (brother and sister) had sent me. They were our trailmates on the Inca Trail when we went to Peru last fall, and were awesome. Loved them both.

I haven’t done a ton of paddling this year, and taken even fewer picture, but these are a couple photos from a January trip down the NF American. It was a fun run, and a gorgeous day.
