First Day on Two Planks
The EPIC Partner’s Meeting was held on the 8-9th of February. I thoroughly enjoy our Partner’s Meeting as it is just another chance to rub shoulders with our CEO’s and talk with our investors. This year was especially exciting as we boasted our 2007 six exits, Josh Coates entertained the dinner crew with the funniest PPT of the Mozy life cycle and Tim Draper managed to embarrass everyone at the lunch table.
The meetings were again held on a Friday with Saturday spent skiing at Deer Valley. I have always foregone the skiing, as snowboarders are barred from Deer Valley, but this year I thought I would give the two planks a go. Shaft came up for the day to give me support on the green circles and take video.

Deer Valley = tourist picture. Yep, I am heading in the direction of the green circles and lodge. =)
I surprisingly loved the two planks. It wasn’t a direct comparison to the board as the two sports seem to have a completely different feel. On the skis I just wanted to try and go fast for some reason, even while still rocking the snowplow. On my board I don’t really love speed, but like to do little spins and try to land jumps, though never very successful. I think mostly it was just fun to try something new, to be scared to tumble down the hill once again. I actually would be pretty jazzed to give it another go.
