I wanted to share with you all a different type of art. Most of you don't know that I was a competitive skier in my younger years. Recently I came across some of my old Ski Passes and Credentials and decided to scan them. For the skiers/snowboarders amongst us you most likely will not have seen many of these passes because they are from Europe, such as France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Czech Republic.
Some of the passes are from the same place but from different times as visible by the photographs attached to them. Try not to laugh to hard at the young Jody.
I am sure our very own Todd Caudle has a good collection of concerts passes too.

Cool. I used to keep all of my lift tickets as a kid. I threw them away, but I still have a good collection of ski maps from throughout the years.

Very, very cool Jody. Thanks for sharing. What a great collection.

I didn't know that about you, but I can't say I'm surprised. Cool passes! You've already led a full life, everything you do from here on out is gravy.
And yes, I do have a lot of old photo passes from my concert days. Luckily, no picture of me was required.

Very impressive, being a below average bump skier myself, I could only dream of actually entering a competition. I've been skiing Copper (FourPass) the past 6-10 years, with occasional passes at WinterPark before that. If you'd be up for some skiing demonstrations and wouldn't mind signing a model release, I've been known to occasionally use a camera to snap a photo or two and would be honored to shoot you doing your thing. Heck, maybe we should have a RMNP day on the slopes this winter!!!!

That is such a neat collection, Jody. Though I must say you look like young John Cusack in #22. Were you his stunt double in "Better Off Dead"?
