final leg of the PW tour

November 18, 2008

We wrapped up the Front Range with the Colorado Springs show. A mix of Colorado College students and die-hard fans who make it out every year. Sorry no pics, Sunday is a day of rest for the camera.

Moving up the Interstate 70 corridor we set up shop in Breckenridge at the Three 20 South night club.

With some time to kill we strolled the quiet mountain town. Looked like some sweet entertainment was going on in town.

They say modeling doesn’t come easy?

We continued our tradition of filling up on hippy food at Rasta Pasta before the show.

The local bad boys, Mark Tieszen and Pete Gallup showed up to say hi and check out the flick. We couldn’t manage to arrange for photo’s due to contractual agreements with their sponsors. It was fun guys, see you this winter.

Moving down past Vail to Edwards, we stopped off at what has become one of our favorite venues. The staff here is really helpful and always glad to see us. Plus they tossed us free food and beverage.

100 strong looking on.

Some weather blew in across the pass to Steamboat. A fun crowd was on hand to support the program Everything Outdoors Steamboat. I must have been getting lazy with camera, no pics from Steamboat.

Final stop on the tour took us to ASPEN. We finally got to see where our good friends and fellow Powderwhores Will and Kate Cardamone call home.

They quickly put us to work on the woodpile. Kate gettin’ after it.

Woodsman Will in full swing.

We cleaned up as best we could and headed into town for the show. I didn’t quite feel like I fit in.

The infamous Belly Up was our host for the evenings festivities. Jonah and I always get really nervous when it’s our first showing in a new town. We manage to convince each other that it’s just going to be the 2 of us.

So, it’s always great when 130 telemarkers show up to fill the house. Here Will C and Mary take it all in on the big screen. It’s always fun to have the local athlete’s come out. Kate and Will helped pass out the raffle prizes which raised money for the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.

We packed up after the show and headed out to celebrate the end of the 30+ city road tour.

Turns out Aspen is a pretty cool town.

Crashing outside the Cardamone compound, our last night in the trailer. Thank God!

Will had his hands full with some “fresh” roadkill.

We didn’t want to test out how ‘fresh’ the road steaks were.That was our cue to hit the road back to SLC.

The tour is a really fun part of this “job”. We are lucky to work with such great people all along the way. Sufficiently warn down and out from 29 days on the road out of the past 2 months. It felt really good to be heading home to transition into our favorite part of the job, the skiing and filming.

Thanks to everybody who helped out along the way. It takes a lot of planning and effort to pull this off effectively and we really appreciate everyone for coming out to support what we are doing. With your help we are able to keep dreaming the dream. With close to 8,000 people attending PW events we have helped raise over $30,000 for local non-profit organizations.

See you all next year!
