'Twas a long haul to central Ohio to meet up with mogul extraordinaire, Radio Ron. The thermometer climbing to 70 degrees, Uncommonly hot for March, before we rolled into Geoff’s parent’s house in Hudson. Ron was about 30 minutes away living in Mentor, and we decided to get in a little home cooking and a good nights rest before heading over.
Fortunately, the temps dropped hard that night, and we woke up to Geoff’s lawn being dusted with whiteness. Then it was off to Ron’s to film part of his intro in his hometown of Mentor. In classic rustic Ohioan style, he has quite the collection of wild vermin and aquatic creatures mounted on the walls. What a sight to behold!
After Ron’s lifestyle footage was wrapped up, we hustled over to Western New York the next day to capture some action…. bumps at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, NY. In addition to Ron tearing it up, we met some amazing locals there including Backseat Jesus, Mogul Mike, and a bee keeper named Andy Card. Andy was actually kind enough to let us crash at his house instead of having to rent a budget motel room in town. Thanks for the stay and the complimentary honey Andy!
The second day on the Holiday Valley slopes greeted us with rain, but we weren’t scared. Rain or shine, we document everything the Eastern mountains throw at us. As Ron says, “a bad day skiing is still better than a good day at work.” Touché Ron. Touché.

I loved the Ron segments. I saw Ron ski at Holiday Valley and the retro purple outfit with the dip, dip, dip got my attention. I then happened to meet him two weeks later and he signed posters and a DVD for my kids. I hope to see him at Killington at the end of March. Wanderland does a great job of capturing east coast skiing. I bought a big collection of vintage east coast ski pictures on ebay a few years ago and it is amazing that the east coast kids in those pictures are doing the same types of things that the east coast kids are doing today. I appreciate what you are doing.

Did I say "clad"? I meant "clan" as in Leave It To Beaver Clan. Oh yeah, he be the Beave! Just look at him! He's a Jerry Mathers clone.

Is Ron related to the Leave it to Beaver clad? Cause his dad looks an awful like like Ward Cleaver. Maybe Ron is "the Beave"!
