Aspen X-Games Day 2

This is a copy of a post I did on Porters blog

After partying until the sun came up there were a lot of late risers in the Tahoe house. We managed to get out of the house around noon. We decided to skip Buttermilk where the X-Games are and ride at Aspen Mountain which is 10 times bigger and 6 times more vert. Aspen got a few inches overnight and the snow was good, but the visibility sucked at times it felt like I was floating on the clouds. It was sketchy. After a handful of 3000ft vert runs we rolled to the Oakley Apres Party at the Tavern. Let just say there were mass amounts of alcohol consumed in a few hours. Oakley was kind enough to hook us up with some sick new Four Legged Frogskins or Blades.

After a few hours of partying at the Tavern we headed back to the house. We had about 2 hours before we were off to dinner, some of us used the time chill in the hot tub, while others just continued to drink. When the time came we were all showered and ready to party. Tonight we went to the Oakley Athlete house for a fantastic dinner by a private chef. The house Oakley put there team in is amazing, it was 12,000 square feet on a five acre lot in the Aspen hills, I can’t imagine how much it was to rent that for the week . If any one is interested it was for sale for only $32,000,000 Million Dollars. The house was stacked with all the Oakley team Simon Dumont, Seth Morrison, Jon Olsson, Eero Ettala, Kristi Leskinen and a ton of others. We watched the X-games form the house in an amazing theater media room. Well we’ve been in Aspen for two days now and we haven’t managed to make it to the X-Games yet. You make the call chill in a 32 million dollar mansion with the athlete’s, or freeze your but off with 10,000 people watching it on the Jumbo screen. Is my case rested?

We ended staying at the Mansion for most of the night, so no crazy all night dance parties. I promise we are going to make it to the X-Games tomorrow. We want to cheer on Porters own Nate Holland in the Border X, and Chas Guldemond in Slope Style. Check back tomorrow for another post, I am sure it’s going to be a wild night, since it’s our last night in Aspen.
