Nice job! I partook but no hangover for me. I won't be riding outside though. It's -8 right now and I think my thermometer is in the sun 
15º here. I'm debating riding. OR staying in and finishing the last bottle of champagne.
It just broke double digits here, it was 3 degrees when I got up
No drinking, in bed last night by 11:45.
Woot.
Woot.
42 and rising here. should make it into the 60's today. :biggrin:
had one glass of wine, put in some work hours, went to bed after the ball dropped.

I had two 40's at the dirt jumps last night in the ripping wind and bitter cold. We still jumped and had a great time. Made some fondue, had a Stella, and stayed up long enough to see the ball drop then headed to bed.
I think had two beers in 2008.
We watched the Scorsese Rolling Stones documentary. You guys think they color thier hair now?

Ditto and now it is time to ride.I went to a great party; ate delicious food, drank plenty, and didn't have to drive.
Didn't drink, was still sick.
I drank, I drank way to much. I don't want to drink again. This is the worst hangover I have ever had.
was going to go to a local ball dropping thing, but it was too cold, so I stayed in, smoked a j with my roommates and watched Ocean's 11 &12.
cheap, free wine tonight

it was ~7F w/ 25 mph winds today, along w/ ~6" of snow.
needless to say, no riding was done.
I partook last night, and it was good. We watched the latest Indiana Jones flick last night. That was not so good.
We got out for a six mile snowshoe hike this afternoon. Good times.

i watched _old boy_.
safe to say i've never watched a film quite like that one before.

Drunk by 7pm. Asleep by 9. Got up and wandered to bed around 11. Waited until it warmed up(69°@3p) today to ride.
I was flipping through the channels late last night and came across "The Hottie and the Nottie." I did not keep it on for very long.
Got out and rode for an hour and a half. Currently watching Penn State get decimated 
I don't remember last night, I assume I drank
good choice.
Hung out with wife, watched new Indiana Jones (lame...) drank 3 Shiners...rode 14 solo miles in the desert this afternoon. Not a bad start for the Neuvo Ano...
For me, dropped balls happened way before last night.
I'm just getting into snowshoeing... any tips?We got out for a six mile snowshoe hike this afternoon. Good times.
Stay out of the backcountry right now. Seriously.
I'm still at newbie stage so most of my adventures are fairly lame - I do not have heel risers so steep climbs are not so pleasant.
Stayed in and relatively sober in favor of having a nice brunch and a hike.
For the topic. Im always sober so last night was no different. I ll be the first to admit Im the most boring person I know though.
A video of one of the survivors of an avalanche in BC where 8 snowmobilers were killed when they were burried by multiple avalanches. Its hard to watch.

I had planned on starting a new thread about this but this one will work now. We dont really have this problem on the east coast but some of RM Im guessing with back country skiing/snowboarding especially should be aware of this.

Everything from Colorado west is..... beyond scary. The usual rules about the back country don't apply. People are getting killed on the flats by cornices breaking off. The snowpack in the backcountry has been likened to sheets of plywood on top of ball bearings. Jackson Hole, Snowbird, Grand County, CO; this goes on and on. One of our local areas had four in bounds slides last week; a patoller was buried up to his chest while shooting hazard zones.

congratulation brah
thats a good milestone, keep it going
I just turned 28 years 8 months and 21 days sober, my friends never believed that I would still be alive and kicking at age 52
The same time as the avalanche in BC I believe two were killed by slides in Utah and Colorado. The survivor interview pretty much said the same thing as you. They were aware of the dangers so they werent highmarking (trying to ride as high and steep as possible) they thought they were safe cause they were staying at the base. The survivor was buried twice there were a total of 4 avalanches before they got off the mountain. Crazy stuff. Good warning Geargrrl
We are just getting into it too. In fact, yesterday was the third time I've ever done it. So, I don't have a lot of advice to give. I must say that the new hiking boots I bought make the experience more fun. The boots are waterproof (Gore Tex) and warm. Warm, dry feet are nice. If my feet didn't get cold yesterday, they'll never get cold.
