A Day at Kirkwood









So I got back up to Kirkwood after a weekend of music in Mammoth, and picked up an email from long lost friend Holly Taylor - "Keen to do some skiing this week – honestly, it was such a spontaneous trip...haven’t planned anything at all yet, but would love to catch up with you and maybe Todd if you guys are around?"
For those of you who have purchased or seen my first ski film A Story of Mountains and People you may remember her as Holly Pearson from the segment on the 35 day ski tour three of us embarked on during the Spring of 2001. So, as luck would have it, I'm in Kirkwood, and she arrived in time for the first bluebird powder day in awhile. After an evening of catching up and a day of skiing powder, I have to say that though marriage might've changed her last name, and New Zealand might've changed her accent, nothing has changed about her wonderful spirit. It was great to reconnect with a friend that shared in one of the great ski experiences of my life, and to even begin tentative plans for another tour...a Duct-Tape Fringe Reunion Tour 2011...here we come!
