Beta Testing, Moving, Oh My

Yup, there has definitely been a lack of posts lately. My bad.

After three years of working in "corporate" America and six years living in Beantown, I have finally made a decision to do more than talk about making a change. There is something undeniably alluring about a ski town. A close knit group of people tied together by a common bond and passion for chasing the fluffy, white powder. In the east, the powder is usually replaced by boiler plate, golf balls, and (occasional groomers) but I think it makes us stronger. For this reason I am moving back, and seeing how it goes. My brother is calling it "the experiment," but pretty excited to start on my adventure.

In addition, a little of 8 months ago three Bostonians met at the Alchemist to talk about starting a ski/snowboard community. With little more than social media and developers skills, we began building out our plans for Chinese Downhill. A week and a half ago we launched into beta, I think there are few times in my life where I have been more nervous. However, things are going GREAT! Our beta testers love the site so far. We hope to open it up to everyone within the next couple of weeks. Can't wait.

So, the long and short of it, I was a slacker, expect much more from me as winter comes and the east turns into a winter oasis of awesomeness.
