bvibert on Skidder:

I guess I looked like as big of a gaper as I felt... Those icy backsides were really effing with me... Still fun though.

Thanks Sugarloaf!

Brad Larsen and Ethan Austin at the Apres party:

I know a lot of people have thanked me for stuff, but these are the guys to thank. Brad and Ethan went totally above and beyond to show the AZ crew a great time. I'm sure we all would have been happy just to be there and ski some great terrain. The guys at the Loaf held for us a welcome party with two free drinks and awesome apps, an apres party (more apps), first tracks privileges on Sunday, in addition to the awesome lodging deal, free Sunday tix, etc. One helluva weekend. These guys rock!
:beer:

As there were no bumps really to be had, a two run combined Naster race was set up instead.

i see pictures of bumps????

[WJenness]

Still kicking myself for not going to the Rustic Overtones show...

I was so tired, but I should have just sucked it up and gone... All reports are that a great time was had.

Still had a GREAT weekend...

:lol: Awesome!

WoodCore, deadheadskier, roark, from_the_NEK and severine at Riustic Overtones:

I think that's when I was texting trying to figure out where wa-loaf, o3jeff, and Paul were.

 

[deadheadskier]

i see pictures of bumps????

1.5 lines for 2 runs, yes there were bumps. And trust me, no one was more excited than I was to be skiing them.

but overall, the mountain was covered with Strip Club Bumps. They looked fantastic, but you weren't allowed to nor would you want to touch them.

 

[wa-loaf]

That's all, folks!

No Video?

 

[deadheadskier]

I know Roark and fromtheNEK shot some vid

 

[severine]

WoodCore should have some photos to add, too. He was shooting quite a few, at least from the party Friday night.

 

[Greg]

No Video?

No, I didn't get any vid. I've been having fun getting back to basics with stills lately. Sorry I didn't get everyone. The crew was moving quick. I'm lucky to get what I did.

That's the only time I forgot to take pics. I think I was pretty faded by the time we got there, evidenced by that dumb pic of me in front of the AZ summit sign.

 

[Edd]

Mismatched 8000's Rivercoil? Hilarious.

Sorry I missed the gathering. I was lucky to have a great spring day there the previous Friday. If anyone plans to go there and doesn't mind (very) modest accommodations we stayed at the Carrabassett Inn. We got a shock at the entertainment there on Friday nights. Not for kids. We had an absolute blast. You'll get the idea if you click on this: http://www.carrabassettinn.com/

The waitresses at the Widowmaker were pretty hot. We were just being dirty old men ...

I give you probably the happiest man at Sugarloaf:

LADY'S MAN!!!!

And the one under his right arm just appeared in SKIING magazine's segment on the Widowmaker.
