When you book a ski trip, it is always a crap-shoot on whether they will have great snow or not. This weekend I am headed to Tahoe and specifically Squaw to hang out with some of my good friends from SF. We got lucky with the snow to say the least…. Check it out below:
Check out this video of the latest soccer prodigy that people are talking about. This kid is 6 years old and is already being labelled as the next Zidane (primarily due to his Algerian heritage). Pretty amazing skills but I feel sort of sorry for him because he is going to have a lot of…

My brother sent me this video clip the other day after a discussion that we were having about the highest ski jump that was ever successfully landed. While these guys are clearly not ski jumping in the main part of the video, the insanity of what they are doing is unparalleled in my mind. Check…
