First time for everything, right? So while I'm logging in nerd time, Jens from the Unfamiliar crew in Germany was scoring pow and trusting his Trust Me in the trees of Brighton. Hey, at least it's snowing in Tahoe.

Not quite looking like the snow in this shot, though. Usually all-black indicates one Joe Singer, but this is Takahiro Sogai. And it's not Tahoe, it's Japan. My most and least favorite aspect of cornice drops is that you can't see over the edge before you jump. It's a leap of faith.

Gotta get them out there, and people love stickers. However, I noticed that some of the envelopes were dated as far back as September! For really. And we JUST got them yesterday.
