If you have been anywhere near Tahoe this week you can appreciate the enormous amount of snow we got as a lovely Christmas present. I was forwarded this article about two guys getting lost in the Swiss Alps this past week. I can appreciate that as I was drowning in quite a bit of powder this past week. Makes me glad I wear my i360 with my video nano. HEY SEARCH & RESCUE….just look for The Grouch playin on my head!
ADOTAS – Two stranded French tourists were saved from a cold night out on the Swiss Alps by the light of an MP3. The skiing and snowboarding duo got lost late on Friday when they left marked runs near the resort of Savognin.
The tourists alerted the authorities with their mobile phones, but they soon ran out of juice. A rescue crew found them shortly after midnight because they were using a lit up MP3 player as a kind of beacon.
The two men are recovering from cases of hypothermia.
So it’s a little early….but there are only 1Day, 7 Hours, and 49 Minutes (depending upon how long writing this post takes). I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to say Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. The i360 fam has been busy this month and I know that you all will be most excited to hear we have been busy finishing up the final tweaks on the beanies and hat beanies! Which means, they are going to be here soon! My next post will be coming from the snowy mountains in Tahoe, so Happy Holidays and be safe!
This week I was lucky enough to meet the coolest 16 year old amateur motocross rider, recreational cyclist, and student ever! Mike Martin, is from Connecticut and is the newest member to the i360 Team. I think the best thing about him is his super clean website that he manages. You can check it out at http://mikemartinracing.com. Mike is a really hard worker and will be riding in the 125 Youth B and 125 Amateur classes for 2009. We promise there will be more from Mike in the future!!
