Skiing memories
The other day I knocked a picture off my desk accidentally and shattered the glass frame. It was a print of this photo taken a few years ago while heli-skiing near Whistler BC. I intended to simply print another copy but after a lengthy search I realized that I have somehow lost all the original digital pictures. All that is left are the smaller, resized versions that I had posted on my website. But, these are the things memories are made of so I scanned the photo and re-captured a decent hi-res version. In the picture is my friend Mika Salmi (back, third from left) who founded AtomFilms. Mika and I started at RealNetworks the same week back in 1995 and had since become good friends. When he left Seattle to live in San Francisco, my wife and I purchased the house they lived in up in Queen Anne. Before they left town, we had shared a house in Whistler for a few years and have made it a bit of a ritual to re-connect up there each New Years. I broke the ritual last year by spending that week in Sun Valley…a first in about 7 or 8 years. Anyway, Whistler is still the best and this is one of those pictures you want to have around to look at when you’re too old to go to the bathroom by yourself. Good memories!
