"That looks like a Hollywood party in there," he said as I walked out. "That's cool."<br />

Here's Jonny: Some people have all the luck. Jonny Moseley makes his own.<br />

Ever since winning a gold medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, the freestyle skier has lived a<br />

life most of us can only dream of.<br />

Summers are spent in his Tiburon home, surrounded by his wife, Malia, and his sons Jack, 4, and<br />

Tommy, 1.<br />

In the winter, Moseley, 36, travels the world, filming and narrating ski movies on some of the globe's<br />

gnarliest terrain.<br />

One of his main gigs is with Warren Miller's movie crew. Moseley has been skiing in the films since the<br />

mid-1990s and narrating them for years.<br />

Miller's latest film, "Like There's No Tomorrow," premieres in the Bay Area this week. And it features a<br />

segment in which Moseley skis at Squaw Valley with his son, Jack.<br />

"We did a segment from Squaw," said Moseley, who serves as an ambassador and spokesperson for the<br />

ski resort. "They gave us all the access we wanted. We had (extreme skiers) J.T. Holmes and Michelle<br />

Parker out there and they did insane things on the mountain. They covered that part of Squaw, which it's<br />

famous for.<br />

"But the filmmakers also wanted to show the other part of Squaw. The part about kids. They told me,<br />

'You're going to cover that part.' "<br />

And that's how young Jack Moseley came to be featured in a Warren Miller film before he hit<br />

kindergarten.<br />

Moseley said his son is doing fine on the slopes, but it will be a while before he can keep up with dad.<br />

"I was skiing with (longtime racer and extreme skier) Daron Rahlves a couple of years ago and he<br />

showed me a video of his twins skiing at 15 months. I said, 'I gotta put my boy on skis.' "<br />

Believe it or not, it's not even Jack's first appearance in one of Mr. Miller's flicks.<br />

"When I first came back to narrate the Miller films a few years back , we went over to Japan for a movie,"<br />

Moseley said. "Jack got a cameo in that one. So, this is his second film."<br />

Like I said, who needs luck when your last name is Moseley?<br />

North Beach Niners: Once a month, a group of regulars gathers at Gino & Carlo's bar in North Beach for<br />

a sit-down lunch. It's a classic San Francisco affair, with long tables, big plates and loud laughter. Like at<br />

any city gathering worth its scungilli, the talk around the tables turned to the San Francisco 49ers, or<br />

soon-to-be Santa Clara 49ers.<br />

"I grew up in the Sunset," said John Gelinas, 59. "My dad and I used to walk to Kezar to see the Niners.<br />

People would park on our street and walk up to the stadium.<br />

"I think it's a bad idea for them to move to Santa Clara because they'll lose their San Francisco identity. I<br />

wouldn't go down there to see the team. Maybe once, but not again."<br />

Across the table, Oakland native Dan Sanford, 55, smirked and gave an answer worthy of a DeBartolo:<br />

"This is a riverboat redo. It's never going to happen."
