The Rest of December

Posted on by Jon Jay in Colorado, Skiing

So, like I mentioned, I got a sweet new camera for Christmas/my birthday, and I also have done plenty of skiing with it since then, far beyond the Silverton Trip.

Silverton Dec 09 – POV

Posted on by Jon Jay in Colorado, Skiing

During the two days we spent in Silverton, I brought out my cheap Oregon Scientific Action Cam for some shots of what we were skiing.

I went with the DU Alpine Club for a cold but fun weekend. Pearl Pass When I … Continue reading Catching Up With the Fall, Part 2 →

The Traveling is Starting to Dwindle…

Posted on by Jon Jay in Colorado, Skiing

So I made the realization yesterday that I have only left the State of Colorado once since I was in Washington, DC, so the fact that my blog is "Jon Jay's Travels" really isn't making much sense these days. In fact, this past weekend, I barely made it out to my backyard to do some … Continue reading The Traveling is Starting to Dwindle… →
