So this past weekend I partook in a mini-vacation to Mammoth Mountain with my South Bay Friends. It’s one tall mamma jamma located a little more than 280mi north of L.A. To say the least it was amazing.

I learned how to board with my friend Raf back east but in all honesty, the place where I learned couldn’t even hold a candle to the place I was this past weekend. I have never seen a mountain so big so huge so gigantic so mammoth. Some of the runs we went on took a good 10-15 minutes from top to bottom (and I board for speed). Unfortunately, Scotty broke his arm on his 2nd run on the first day. That sucked, but all the partying done in the evening until the wee early hours more than made up for it. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The company was great. And, like the post title says, at the highest point, I was 11,053 ft above sea level.

Here are some interesting things I learned about being 11,053 ft. up:

• Cigarettes last FOREVER; At one point JR handed me a smoke to go inside. I was outside a good 15 min smoking it when he came back and I handed it back to him with the cig only being a little more than half done. WOW.
• It is indeed really hard to get a full breath unless you really try (not related to the smoking)
• You will fart.  A lot.
• Being drunk lasts a LOT longer
• The air somehow tastes cleaner

I don’t have any pics of the trip currently (cause I’m still only using my iPhone for a camera at the moment), but I’ll have pics from other peeps’ cameras up soon enough.

Now that I’m back from my “post-fulltime job vacation”, I’ve been hustlin’ around getting my reel together, meeting with potential clients, and organizing all my shit. It’s time for me to get my nose to the grindstone and get my showreel of work from 2008 up and online. I want to have it posted by Feb 7th or 8th at the absolute latest. I’ll keep all 3 of the people who read this site posted as it comes along.
