I have to say I was pretty jealous watching you supping that cold beer on the balcony of the Gamsgarten. Car keys in pocket and a 19 day old son at home meant drinking was not really an option - my time will come again!

Not only did he pick me up in the morning, drive me out there, and get me setup with rental equipment but he also was able to pull off a free lift ticket! I had literally never met the guy in person before! I was very impressed with his knowledge of the area and we had a great time hitting all the different runs that were open. As a person who snowboards frequently, I know its important to figure out real-time mountain conditions so that you don't spend your whole day somewhere that sucks. Matt was able to provide the first-hand knowledge of the mountain that I needed in order to make a good decision on where to spend the day. He had a great attitude and was fun to ride with. Thanks again! I had a great time yesterday and there is no way I would’ve been able to pull it off without Matt’s help.
