X Games in Aspen [Day 2: Buttermilk]

One of the many perks of working Winter X Games in Aspen...the free lift pass! During our prep days leading up to the games, everyone takes "run breaks"...and since our office is conveniently located at the bottom of Buttermilk mountain and steps away from the chair lift, taking a 3 run break is a daily routine. 

First run of the trip w/ the dancing queen herself- Erin.

first day in the office

Aspen's iceskating rink

Around 12pm I was contacted by the local TV station, Plum TV, and asked to be the voice of the Powder Awards.

So at 4pm I recorded my first award show VO's

Road to Aspen

After 2 full days at LAX, I finally made it to Aspen on Sunday...and the wait was totally worth it!

While most passengers were pissed our flight was cancelled on Saturday (it was illegal to take off from LAX due to weather conditions in Aspen), I was extremely grateful I did not have to experience the scary/bumpy flight...Sunday's flight was as smooth as a baby's bottom :)

After getting settled in & touring the offices, Big B and I watched the Patriots win at Finbarr's Irish Pub & watched the Giants take the win in overtime at The Belly Up. Stoked for that Superbowl match up.
