A busy weekend for Mark and Christian. Here is a little bit from what they covered.






I hate getting up early. Have always been a night person. Everything is great as long as I can sleep without an alarm. BEEEEEEP!!!!!!!! It went off this morning and I had to drag myself out of bed at 4:30AM to be up at the Academy at 6AM. uhhggggg.
But I will tell you that light is pretty cool at that time of day and you see things that you might just miss on a schedule like mine. So here is my reward for getting up early. Pretty cool I think.




It’s time for the Winter X Games. Shaun White promise a new 1080, who know what else will happen this weekend. Christian and reporters Brian Gomez and Dena Rosenberry are up in Aspen catch what’s what. Check out the gallery of Christian’s snaps and check Gazette.com for latest stories.
