Welllll hellllloooooooo there, errybody! I’m finally back from Florida, feeling centered, and ready to do some really sweet ish!

There’s no denying that Fall is the Best Season of the Year, but I’m on Stoke Level 10 for this winter already:

• Several weeks ago, long-time Twitter friend Jillian let me know that she and her husband will be visiting CO for a bunch of snowboarding and invited me along at the very end of January.
• Last night I formally accepted an invitation to become a member of Columbia’s Winter #OmniTen family! That includes a very mysterious, very likely very epic, week-long trip…also in January.
• Prior to that, on a whim, I decided to bite the bullet and buy plane tickets for the Winter OR Show in Salt Lake City, UT. That’s another week in January.
• And as I realized that my entire month of January is mostly more awesome than any one person can stand, it dawned on me that I’m spending a week back in WI over Christmas.

Just take a look at this calendar (that took me way to long to make)!!

I have a feeling I’ll be working some weekends.

So, I’m very sorry, fall. I really do love you. Truly, I do. There’s no doubt in my mind that I will be out romping around in your cool temperatures and admiring the yellow Aspens for the first time in my life, but I am looking past you, and I am stoked to be crashing down the mountain and putting my new Columbia gear to the test! I wonder if they make helmets…
