Countdown to Colorado

Kody, Sara and I are headed west on the 19th. Destination? Aspen Snowmass, where the beer flows like wine. It’s been 2 years since I’ve been there – my first experience riding on the west coast. It blew my mind and I can’t WAIT to go back! I’ll be bringing my 145 GNU B-street BTX [...]

2 Rapid Play Videos

Things picked up at Creek and the video camera was glued to my hand this past week. I tossed these two edits together to show the amazingness (yeah, I’m biased) that went down.

halley’s rapid play: snowmaking tour

First video shot with Mountain Creek’s new HD camcorder – Canon HF200 . So far, I really love this camera – still trying to figure out the import/export settings and compatibility issues with my version of Final Cut Express.

Black Friday 2009

So, my plan to avoid Black Friday was spoiled after a trip to Best Buy and a few snowboard shops. As a member of Mountain Creek’s dedicated marketing team, I saw a unique window of opportunity while shopping.

This Special Blend mustache balaclava is awesome. I further embarrassed my boyfriend by wearing it around… and [...]

Maple Blondie. A Hannah Teter treat.

Yeah, I try to get healthy for the season. A couple of lunges, vanilla oatmeal and stretching are a part of my “extensive” and “intense” preseason training. So I’m on track, lunging away like a champ, when Ben & Jerry interrupt.
Introducing Maple Blondie – the new, signature flavor of Hannah Teter. Now, I figure… Hannah [...]

Mt. Bachelor Opening Day Video

This video is out of control. Sure, it doesn’t hurt to have a mountain covered in powder to shoot, but everything about it is sick – skiing and snowboarding, RIDICULOUS back country riding, natural jibs, man-made jibs, powder slashes, cliff drops, some commentary, decent background track… Plus, it’s the perfect length. You’ll watch from beginning [...]

halley’s rapid play: whine flu

I could explain the premise of the “whine flu” and how it’s “infected” the tri-state area causing delirium and random acts of winter… but you’re better off just watching it.

Jackets, pants, layers… oh my.

Finally! The time has come. I’ve placed an order for a new jacket, pants and über cute base layers. I don’t think I’ve ever waited this long to buy something new. Usually, I go ape shit on the end-of-season sales.
This time, I straight-up ransacked the Burton line. I gotta say, I’m truly looking forward to [...]

JibLab Photo Sesh

Took some photos at the JibLab yesterday. That burly stud toting the welder is Marc Tremain, Terrain Park Manager at Mountain Creek. They were giving some older jibs a face lift by sanding, welding and painting steel – expect them to look uniformly different come winter. Everyone loves themselves a little turquoise.

Psst – video footy [...]
