Thread: PNW Maggots - ASS Tour (Alpental Summer Solstice) roll call & 2011 photo TR

In and will happily schlep booze ... In addition to that already in my bloodstream (ASS is the last day of vacation for me).

Damnit... I have to catch a flight back to MSP that evening. Looks awesome.

When you're sitting in there can you make sure you don't lean on the control buttons, the stop keeps getting pushed in, thnx

not me messing with controls but before i close the door i will make sure button is out and lift operational.
i will check tonite if we go up top.

You guys should put a keyed lockout on the stop button. They cost about $50.00

I will see if I can get off of work early and make the tour.

someone would have to go up top and do that, beav is running a tractor down lower mtn. this month laying cable. instead lets just try and keep the bathrooms functional for a full season.
ok

This was a blast last year, I'll be up for schlepping a minikeg or two again this year.

I think my homebrew can do better than Heinekin so will bottle up at least a gallon's worth, especially of the high-octane, more pleasure-to-the-pound Big Red Ale (8.3%) and Muddy Trail Brown (7.3%). Happy to sherpa more than just my allotment as well.

I'll bring my 75 cl pack and help shlep up refreshments

I'll carry the cups!

you can carry some snacks too

I was actually thinking about doing something, foodwise.. is anyone planning anything? I was thinking of packing up a mini weber or something and making some sausages...

I can cook burgers if you bring a mini-weber...hell, I'll even carry it too.

I was halfway thinking I'd make cookies for dessert.

Salt.
Specifically, potato chips or maybe peanuts,
because it goes well with beer, they are light and when the bag is empty
it wont cramp my skiing in low light steaze.

Food at the top is an afterthought really,
it's more about get up there and toast the longest day of the year
and all the snow that is still on the mountain.

Don't let that stop you however if you are so inclined.

As of yesterday afternoon you can still ski all the way to the plaza but it is starting to melt out faster now.

i have hired a sherpa that will porter a stove and fuel and meat to the top. i don't know how many to feed but i will do my best. i will be looking to do some southern hemisphere themed dish i dont think booze will be underrepresented but appetizers are always welcome, watch out for the predatory dogs.

Or if someone wants to drive from Redmond, and deposit me at my bros house after.. that would be good, too...

I will bring some sort of goodies

I'll be leaving from Redmond around 4-4:30 if you want a ride to/from there.

You should tell me what you are making, exactly, and I will bring something complimentary... I will sherpa it myself..!

southern hemisphere cuisine really can't be exactly explained but
faheetas and chul00pa will probably make an appearance along with their friend rice&bean.

ASS friendly food comes in many styles hopefully fueling a beautiful tequila sunset.

you do realize that Mexico is in the Northern Hemisphere, don't you???

doesn't change a thing at all

first forecasts for solstice calling for clearing skies maybe even sunshine leading to a glorious sunset.

Burnt offerings to Mother Nature worked well a few weeks ago. More offerings underway soon. Tequila sunsets and food from the southern part of the northern hemisphere = the need to bring a couple liters of margaritas. Better get out my expedition pack.

We still have to ski down at some point.

Sound like we're going to need more beer then?
