Yes Lana, There is no point in even having a cool skiing video competition because I have already won. Mom and Dad didn't believe me when I said that my jump over the swing set is perfectly safe but it turned out that I was right as usual. In the pictures the one with my skis in the bottom is the top of "Leo's Lion" and the wider chute is the lower right exit of Leo's. The thinner chute with Luca sitting at the bottom is "Wombat Sally". The other is a random cliff that is fun to hit.

Hi everybody,

Sorry, I don't have any good pictures or videos yet but I will get them soon. I did the King and Queen of the Ridge this weekend and I decided it is more like the King and Queen of who can physically destroy their muscles the most in 5 hours. Since I haven't done this competition before this year I decided to just take it easy and just see what it was like. This is why I dropped out after 12 laps instead of going all the way and beating this years king who only had a easy 26 hikes. Ha Ha, maybe next year, Not. Guess what? If you go to www.bridgerbowl.com and click on the Daily video link and then select the 16th on the calender next to the video screen you will get a video starring I Mark Raymond for a whole 1 second! Right after the part where it shows a sign that says "Community Race Series" on it there is a guy in a orange coat. That's me! And right after that when they show all of the hikers I am the hiker who is second from the top of the pack and is digging his poles in weirdly. I think it is pretty cool. Going to the desert competition the girls made a delicious French chocolate custard of which I was most amazed. Ben and I are still working on our come back. Current score: Savanah,Izzy and Maggie-4, Mark and Ben-2.

Hello everybody,
Doesn't my ski look much better? Dad is the genius who fixed what four different ski shops all said was unrepairable. I've skied on it twice now and it seems to be holding up all right. This Saturday I tried to go into a chute that I had previously skied in better conditions. I ended up having my edge stick in slushy snow when I tried to turn. This ended nicely with me not falling off the huge cliff to my right or tumbling down the narrow rocky chute on my left both of which undoubtedly I would have sustained substantial injuries to my person if I had fallen down either. Instead I had a very endearing bonding moment with the tree in front of me from which I only got a cut up mouth and chin. My friends and I have been doing a little filming up on the slopes lately so I will try to get a cool video of me eating it off some stuff on this blog as soon as possible. I will also post some pictures of the insane stuff we have been skiing. Wondering whats with the pie? Well to make a long story short, me and my friend Ben Rich got into a cake/dessert contest with some girls. We actually were just joking when we agreed to the competition so we were a little bit shocked when the girls brought a cake into advisory on Monday morning. Deciding that we couldn't let the girls win and uphold the masculine act of not being able to cook we retaliated with a blueberry pie on Thursday. More updates on this fight to the death will be presented in further posts. Since I have a boring life and have used all my stories I guess that I will wrap this post up. Goodbye until something else happens that I think is worth writing about. Oh guess what? I figured that you can moderate the comments on your blog but I guess that doesn't really apply to me since no one leaves comments anyways. It would be so nice to get to try it out though. Bye!
