240 unread emails waiting on my work computer and Sunday work starting at 8.00 sharp the next morning. Feeling the first phase of a burnout, I guess.

What can I do? I’d like to kick my boss’ ass right now but unfortunately I guess I have to just chill out and try to turn my thoughts to other things in life…

Well, I tried to figure out something to write. To live a moment of skiing in my mind, just to focus and calm down. But frankly, that’s pretty hard at the moment. I am too tired, it’s +10 degrees Celsius outside and raining, and I’ve pretty much squeezed everything out of last winter’s (limited) ski trips already anyway.

Then I found out that Marko has added a Flickr group for readers (and writers) of the site. I have had that on my mind for a while – to upload some old photos from various trips for people to see. Well, I am no photographer and these are just odd snapshots from here and there. Personally, for me they offer some great memories though. And I guess by sharing them I can give something (just my few cents worth) back to the greater ski community out there…you know, share things common for skiers, like feelings, places, people, the burning desire for powder snow etc.

And luckily some of our readers have done that too! Thank you guys. I am already feeling better after checking out all your great shots. Powder to the people!

Here is the link to our Flickr Group. Share your photos too. We appreciate anything ski/board related…action shots, scenery, people, lifestyle, funny happenings, “keeping it real”, etc.  Do you have memories, stories or moments you would really like to share with us?
