Arapahoe Basin 18th Annual Enduro 2007

I DID THE ENDURO WITH JAKE THIS YEAR!!!!! We did 37 runs in 10 hours of skiing. (Jake's past record is 64 runs) Jake hurt his knee alittle this year and so he didn't want to hold back his past partner, Jamie, so Jake and I did the Enduro together. For those of you who don't know, the Enduro is a 10 hour ski race (7am - 5pm) at Arapahoe Basin. You have to ski with a partner and ski 20 lines down the Pali side of the mountain (all double black diamonds...) and whoever gets the most runs wins. What do you win? Just bragging rights. The two guys that won it this year did 70 runs. You can see video and read more at www.summitdaily.com/article/20070418/SPORTS/70418013 If you look close at the video, Jake is in a black hoodie sweatshirt and I have a purple and black jacket. They show us on the lift and once Jake skiing into the lift. Here are some pics from our great day.
