Boardin' With Louie...
I'm off to Jamaica for movie

Me shreddin' the slopes in a scene from my MXP snowboarding movie.
    Well, once again my Tonight Show appearance was delayed. It’s now looking like February before Jay Leno and I can get together. Be sure and watch the Sierra Ski News web site for updates.
    Meanwhile I’m off to Jamaica to shoot scenes for a new film. It will be good to get away from the cold for awhile. But you can be sure that as soon as I get back I’ll be visiting my favorite resort - Donner Ski Ranch.
    It’s kind of funny too. On my last snowboarding trip to DSR, I had the strange feeling I was being watched. I never actually saw anyone watching me - except for my usual following of fans. But there was this one odd group of about five near the parking lot.
    They stood out like opposable thumbs! All of them short, with long arms - dressed in black trench coats and fedoras. I couldn’t see their faces only that they all had longish red/orange hair stuffed up under their hats. And every time I would look in their direction, they’d have their backs turned to me. Since everyone else in the crowd was watching me, it made it kind of obvious they didn’t want me to see them. Very strange indeed!
    As you probably saw on the front page, my movie has finally been released. It was great fun making it and I really get to show off my acting talents.
