Date:
April 30th, 2006 - Kirkwood's lift-served closing day of the 05-06 season.
Weather & Temp:
Absolutely gorgeous californian sunshine, no wind, and temps ranging from 40-60 F.
Members of Dork Club:
666, AKA, Arty50, Basom, Brooks, Kush, Spats, Lph, Zippy, Zippy’s boarder buddy shralping it on skis, Casey of Moment Skis, Emma, Nuthon and crew, Tyrone Shoelaces, Divegirl, Legoskier, Dave P, lhs, ninjabirdman & roomie, and many others.
Our Rides:
666 – 212 K2 SG Race
AKA – 205 Salomon SG Race
Arty50 - 210 K2 TNC COMP
Brooks – Normal skis, could not find “BigFoots”
Basom – 211 Salomon DH Race
Kush – 222 RD ValdezXtreme’s
Spats – 210 Volkl pink old school GS
Lph - 250 speed skis (I wish)…he could’ve handled them
lhs - Jackson transplant on Iggies of course
Zippy – 205 Atomic ARC racing
Tyrone – 215 Blizzard Women’s DH
Casey – 200 (?) Olin Mark IV twin-tips
Nuthon - Size of mullet = 11. Parking crew massive, 80's snowboard extrordinaire.
*Feel free to correct my estimates*
Synopsis:
Short skis suck and long skis truck. From rails to steeps, its apparent that the only difference between yesterday and today’s technology is speed and stability off-piste. Oh, and those old school graphics are the way to go…hint, hint, ski company manufacturers. Seriously, how radical would a 200 cm K2 Fat ski with the original 1980 graphics and sandwich construction look underfoot? I've already filed a patent on the idea.
Cameramen:
666, Arty50, Lph, Spats, & Emma (reasons why they are absent from most of this fantastic TR)

BWAHAHAHA!!!! I'm gonna buy zippy a pack of gum, cause that was one tasty helicopter.
One of my favorite moments of the day was watching Batman straightline one of the gullies under Once on his 222s. He just absolutely pointed it over bumps, whoops, and whatever got in his way. Kush definitely earned his cape on Sunday. His bareassed bump steeze wasn't so bad either.
Many thanks to Sierra Cement for lending me his K2s!
