Possible restrictions on Rt. 88...

[telechuck]

I have been following this thread since it started. It just keeps getting better.

Excellent adventure and documentation guys. I write this as I contemplate the trip I paid for in October starting this week to a relatively snowless Canada. I am truly jealous of the impulsive decision you guys made and the trip that came out of it.

The vid rocked. Now I am ready for work and school today. When the professor asks why I am staring into space, I can simply explain it by stating, "totally fucking sickbird"

Keep it up.

I thought it was called a goatee, but me neither.

the grin is still there.

anything i try to put down right now will likely be non-sequitorial jibberish. lane skied me into the ground yesterday afternoon (only because he got out at noon...), but this morning in my 20 min nap between getting home and going to work, i dreamt that headwall was still spinning yesterday after we got sent up on last chair, and that we got another run in.

i hope lane and cody and everyone we met there are all out killing it today.


i needed this trip very very badly, and i can't give enough thanks to everyone who helped make it possible, from the crew of the MCU, to lane and his roomate for not batting an eye when his college friend's younger brother and 3 other dudes from massachusetts jumped into their 4 man hottub and started passing around the hookah and inexpensive macrobrews, everyone who kicked down useful info and fielded 4am phonecalls from a bunch of cackling goons, speelat for hooking a guy up with some grub and stoke in reno (too bad we couldn't get me bumped to first class though, really fucking pissed about that), and to the rest of you chat jerks who shamed me into going. but boo to the female friend of lane's who made fun of my food baby while i was stuffing 7-11 bacon cheesburgers into my maw and pounding budweiser--i know i have a gut, and i'm ok with that.

bap bap bap.

(we now return you to my usual mildly unfunny but easily ignorable posts about nothing)

while i was stuffing 7-11 bacon cheesburgers into my maw

storm total: 14 easily microwaveable bacon cheeseburgers in 36 hours.

the hookah in the hot tub was a nice touch.

the hookah in the hot tub was a nice touch.

if they know how to 'do it' anywhere on this planet its at casa de la meyer.

[Tap]

the GNAR point possibilities in this thread/trip are countless...

i think you guys invented a few categories as well


BAP BAP BAP!

Awesome, awesome thread! Nice work guys.

Seriously. Lane should consider changing his handle to Montell Jordan.

The party's here on the North side, so I reach for my 40 and I fill it up...

or at least us this as his avatar:

That I gotta hit the maw in a big black truck...

Great vid, loved it.

[VTskibum]

Unbelievable guys. Absolutely unbelievable. I'm sure this thread will become chronicled as one of the best stoke filled threads ever. This competes with Road Trip's truckbed thread.

[splat]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a bunch of yayhoos hit a storm track so perfectly to slay the goods, only to disappear when it was done in such a timely fashion. Nice to see ya, billy, however brief.

[Free Range Lobster]

and to the rest of you chat jerks who shamed me into going.

well it was that or we'd ride your ass for not going for months on end until you cried.

fkna!

[truth]

Caw caw caw.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Nice little cap to this crazy-ass thread & crazy-ass trip.

[flanker769]

FKNA!
Wow have I shit the bed and missed out on the storm of storms.
So stoked for you lucky bastards!

[gonzo]

Oh yeah - we forgot to submit our proposal that "Squaw Valley" be renamed "Boner City."

Can I get a second?

There are more pics and video coming, too.

edit: and i think we have turned a new page with voicemails posted on the board. that is fukin high-tech!

[gincognito]

Being speakerless at work, I'd like to make a polite request that someone post a transcript of basom's phone message. I understand that subtleties of tone and background atmosphere may be lost, but I am sure the words themselves will serve to amuse.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and have written too many memos),
d.

[basom]

There are more pics and video coming, too.

i dunno, bill's food baby is pretty cute.

[stump832]

I'm late to this stoke-party.

But this thread rules. Nice to see the beantown crew (who I never got a chance to hang with or ski with before I moved to SLC) get an epic trip. Bring on more videos and pictures.

[crashnburn'd]

I want pics.
