Krahooligan Cash Cow: Day 1 (Part 1)
I’ve met some awesome new friends over the past two weekends and I’ve had the chance to reconnect with friends I haven’t seen in a while, it’s been great!!
Last weekend was the Krahooligan Cash Cow, the first Boardercross (BX) race I’ve ever entered that has had a cash purse. The race was at Copper and 11 women entered the contest (which was limited to 40 women).
First things first…I’m soooooo excited for the first race of the season but I’ve been waiting on my new race bindings (Burton CO2s)…they were finalllllyyyy delivered on Saturday night (the night before the race) and boy was I stoked!! I woke up early the next morning to get my set up ready….and I couldn’t get the bindings to fit on my race board (Burton Un Inc 160)….I had the original plates that came with the board and 3 other sets of plates that came with the bindings though!! Autumn (my race buddy and best girl friend up in Summit) got to my house as I was starting to freak out about the situation….I had her take a go at it and still no luck!! We rushed over to Copper and decided to get help from someone at a rental shop there. So I’m carrying three boards (2 with bindings on them) and the box with my race bindings in them…in a slight run…oh, it was ridiculous, check tha pic:
For those of you wondering why I had multiple boards, it’s because I want a fresh wax on my race board so I’ll ride one board to the course and carry my race board there. A lot of riders do it; I’m not the only one!! I brought three boards this time because I wasn’t sure what was going on with the CO2s!
So we get to the rental shop at the base and met a rental tech there named Eli…hoping he could help us?! No luck!! It’s crunch time by now (even though we were planning on getting there early!) so we’re rushing to get the Cartels (same model different year as bindings I raced on last year – remember I broke the old ones opening day at the Beav) off my Lib Tec…team effort with me and Eli and Eli’s setting me up with the Cartels on my UnInc!
We rushed up to the course and it was time for inspection…here’s the pre race interview we made:
I know I’m wayyyyy behind but I’ll be all caught up soon!! More from the Cash Cow coming up soon!!

Mini recaps of my days since 12.12.10:
December 12, Vail: Had a blast skiing with Sean Girvan and Clay, but dealt with some interesting weather...couldn't see from the snow sticking to our goggles...got to demo a sweet Burton board though (Sweet Talker) and had a blast in Northwoods as always :) The snow consistency was extremely heavy though which is weird for Colorado...
December 13, Keystone: Rode with 2 cool chicks I met that day (Christie & Terra) and then by myself :)
December 15, Keystone: Booking it on Mozart and playing a bunch on the back side :)
December 16, Keystone: Some fun solo pow runs and then helped out a buddy (Josh) from the golf course in the afternoon (he hadn't ridden for 2 years)
December 17, Beaver Creek: Good times with Brad and Jon Ludwig at the Beav, problem that needs to be solved though is battery life on my Android (I run GPS all day long with my Phresheez app)...I can never record stats for a full day of riding! :\
December 18, Vail: Beautiful powder, cliff drops, great times with great skiing buddies :) (Strueber, Ludwig, Brad, Alex, & Curtis)
December 19, Keystone: Took a few turns solo before leaving town for my first ever business trip (with Fiske Planetarium)!
December 22, Beaver Creek: Fun day with Curtis, Paige, and my mum :)
December 23, Vail: Other than Sun Down bowl (that Seth Schy somehow talked us into doing...and then he ditched us), the snow was great! Especially the pow in the trees!! Rode with Curtis, Girvan, Becca, Josiah, & Doug :) 6 deep!!!
December 24, Vail: Didn't get out until ~11.30 because of a fun night out on bridge street with Becca & Girvan...still had a blast with Girvan and Andreas though!!
December 26, Beaver Creek: Training day with Stu :) (on-hill surveyor for marketing research) Not much time on hill b/c we had to go to HR at Vail and do office stuff....love it!
December 27, Beaver Creek: Was babysitting in the am so only rode 2 hours but it was fun :) Did get bailed on though by the person I was supposed to meet...oh well, cest la vie!
December 30, A Basin: Snowy, cold, low visibility!! Fun times with new friends from Breck though (Spankey and 2 of his friends) and hit a few small features in the park :)
December 31, Beaver Creek: Was working at the Beav...it was so ridiculously cold though, -5 without the wind chill!
January 2, Beaver Creek: Rode solo in the morning (snow wqs kinda sticky because it was still frigid out) and worked the second half of the day :)
January 3, Keystone: Tracking turned itself off for a good hour or so, so I didn't get everything...but the powder was soooo good and champagney :) Took some runs with Eric Agel (finally! he's visiting from ATL again!) and some runs solo...no friends on a powder day :P
That brings my totals to:
A Basin: 5
Beaver Creek: 8
Breck/A Basin: 1
Copper: 13
Key: 10
Loveland: 1
Loveland Pass: 1
Snowmass: 1
