I stumbled upon a group of gummis the other night having a little shindig in the snowbank outside my front door. I don't know, but these shots really exemplify 'community' for me.

(so, I may have taken one too many Percocets this night. It seemed funny at the time.......sorry)



Party on!

[Lev]

Whoa. That's an amazingly small bong

[Wes Mantooth]

This screams community in my mind

[splitter]

lookin' good wes.

Dang. I figured this would be something accessible to all.

Whether it was a small town in Tahoe with piles of snow,

Or some post tour parking lot culture...

Even the kids back east could do something with college.

Perhaps this week....

FOBP avalanche class this past weekend:

So for those who don't know, we took a 30" dumping in the Mid-Atlantic region last weekend. With another foot on the way tomorrow, I'd say we've had our fill. Wish we could donate some it to you guys in the mountains.

Nothing gets the Community out and interacting with each other like a good 30" offering from the snow gods.

Now we're talking!

bump for the last day...

a line at the homeless shelter...

a community garden...

kids playing basketball in an urban park in front of a mural...

the dog park...

At the moment I'm thinking 3 finalists based on the number of entries, any objections?
