baby steps



we always seam to lose an hour or two a day somewhere.  today the mystery mobile headlights didnt turn on.  we drove about 1 kilometer and got stoped by the cops  they dont speak english.  hans tried to explain we they didnt work  the cops messed with them and tried to help they put on the flashers and i gave my flashlight to paul riding shotgun.  so they let us on our way at 415 am with no lights hazards on and a flashlight  for headlights.    we made it another 2 clicks and a cop passed us no problem. another click and the feds as best we can tell  have  road block set up and as we get close the lights turn on  they pull us over and we sit for about 45 min in the van just chilling  they dont speak english and hans tries to ask if we can go through but they say no, we can see the resort.  we finally make it to rosa kutdor and the security is real lax for once.  next the lifty is removing all the gondolas and wont let us on.  we kinda help take them off and put different ones on  only a 30 min adventure.  finally we get on and get to work.   the first pic is a hotel or something they are building and snow covered trees the pic doesnt give it justice how odd and cool it looked,   the second is two days ago riding the upper gondola down from helping with the race hill in the morn after frog had a hydro leak.   funny it is the first time i have ever winched a run.  i have only winched the terrain parks and pipe but not an actual run.  dont worry it was only for inspection for a world cup race in a cat i have only driven once before here, the everest.  the last is my pipe coming along during sunrise today i had to take a pic and enjoy the sun coming up.  this is the sight for 2014 olympics the only bummer is it will be a night event then and the big show wont show how amazing the views are when you can see the whole thing but that makes it special in a way also since i get to enjoy it and not the whole world, so i thought i would share with yall.
