Sunday River
Date April 21st
Temps low 60's
condtions cream cheese to Corn
Sunny Sun Burn Day

I started out of my condo around 7 am it was 29F. When I go to the river it was almost 50 and climbing. Shorts were the deal. I got a call from Maineskier69 to jockey for parking postion and we arrived in the same area shortly after he and the Mrs. Terry and Tammy parked right by us and Thaller1and Whaller1 parked close. Tofer and better 1/2 were right next to us. Great hook up on lodging thankx. Got to meet snowmonster Jerry G and, Snowseek. We all made a few runs after eating great time. Wildfire was awesome. I met Thaller1 and Maineskier 69 and wives and husbands at Barker before the event to do some last minute planning.lol:flag:

Ski Lab and Voklboarder were there as well as skis left and right. My family had a good time as well.
We all had a few non board freinds join in I think about 25 total. The wings and the Shrimp and Venison were most spoken about.

The turns were awesome in the morning. The North peak was the place to be Grand rapids and 3d were a ball, both Sat and sunday. On sunday we had the 1st tracks other than patrol. Vortex looked a bit crunchy so we bailed on it.

Very few spots without great cover.
All about hanging out this weekend.

I wrote this for both the River and AZ so some names may not be familliar.

Glad to finally ski with you, Bob R. Your son is great. Kept li'l snowmonster on her toes at the BBQ. I'll be up again this weekend and, if you're around, let's meet up again. Snoseek, good to meet you, man. Hope to see you on the mountain again.

Thaller's shrimps were the best. Ate everything including the tails! That's where the peppers were.

I agree the River crew is a fun bunch of folks. Friday to Sunday I'll be up again. I saw snowmonster and snowseek will be around. See you over the weekend. I'm sure we will be doing similar stuff this weekend. I'm bailing early sat though. Got to do some work on by condo to get it on the market. Probably only a 1/2 day.

Even though I couldn't ski I had a great time. Nice to meet new people and party with old friends! Good food, good beer, good company. Awesome day. Hopefully I will be able to ski with many of you guys next year. Right now I am concentrating on healing so next winter I can ski everything. Want to work on bumps, trees and deep powder next season. Oh and also to better my race results! :beer:
