12/7/07 - The Miracle
Oh the frustration. It was full on nuclear winter and I was supposed to spend my whole weekend in an avalanche rescue course that I couldn't get out of. Luckily, mother nature helped out. The avalanche rescue course was canceled due to... wait for it... avalanche danger!
There was only one thing to do: Go to Silverton!
As soon as I was done doing work that I had to do in person, we all loaded up into Jski's jeep and headed. I finished up my shift working through a laptop hooked up to the interweb via a cellphone.
12/8/07 - The STORM
9th unguided chair: There were about 60 or 70 people at the mountain. ~30"

I suffered a catastrophic equipment failure and had to end the day after my 5th run.
I returned to the hotel, picked up the phone, and quit one of my jobs.
12/9 BLUE BIRD
Aaron and Jenny Brill took very good care of us and so I was able to ski again. It snowed another 6 or 7 inches. It was supposed to be snowy all day, but instead it went bluebird.

We got 7 runs in. adimmen ran from the bottom of tiger back to the lift carrying his spatulas to make sure he got #7. jski and I rode the bus.
adimmen would like to thank Volant for their heavy metal topsheets. Not only do they give him a good workout, but they kept his bindings attached to his skis when the screws pull out resulting in a 30" long topsheet delam:
Jski after 7 runs (I felt the same way... adimmen went to hike the lift line but the patrollers took him away and we haven't seen him since)
PS: Silverton rules and is the coolest resort in the state.Last edited by Summit; 12-11-2007 at 01:29 AM.

I also have to mention, these photos would be better if blurry and had less steeze, and more low angle.

I said it for the preview, and I'll say it again:
MAMA!"Oh, no pics. To simulate the skiing today, walk out your door, grab a handful of snow, and throw it in your face. Repeat as necessary.
If you don't have snow outside your door, what the fuck are you living there for?"

Amazing.
That quitting a job thing sounds good. I might have been able to make it down there, too.
Do tell on the catastrophic failure...

Looks pretty shitty down there. Can't believe you actually made that 7-hour drive.
In other news, it has been confirmed that I need to go back to Silverton. Hopefully you shall come with, A. Cheers to some more fantastic camerawork."I said flotation is groovy"
