Thanks to everyone who attended yesterday.
A great day of skiing was had by a more than able crew of long boarders.
Fantastic spring conditions for long railing it down Nash, Elevator, Gun Barrel, etc.

By my count there were 20 mag's in attendance also making this one hell of a fun mini summit.
Special props to the ladies that made it out with well appointed and LB period correct steeze, and yes long boards.

Double special props to WFT for showing up with a keg of some fine ale (and a tap).

If you didn't make it this year,
we missed you and you missed a very good time,
start looking now for 210's for next year.


w00t!

The Sheik of Sartorial Splendor of the Day was without doubt Offpiste. From the 70s red puffy (one with baffles the size of couch pillows, not the tight tube baffles of today) down through the ensemble of classic sweet 70s sweater and matching otb stretch pants, all the way up to the crown of tyrolean cap with a galaxie of teensy silvered tinkling tassles and trinket pins, nothing short of pure awesumn3zz.

Great to see and ski with the grande cadre of k00ks and to finally meet Flowing Alpy (sorry about your ending.. lot 3 spillover?) and garyfromterrace. Big thanks to the grillistas SeaTuneSlack Key et al and to Moss Back for the salmon and Lars for the beer.

Wonderful day gents, biggest bestest and baddesht one yet. And yes, you clowns were missed (you know who you are).

Snow was really good and it was a sincere pleasure to rail around on the longbords. Best thing is that they don't really stand out all that well @ Alpental.

Hey, I got the announcement video out in good fashion, no?

Just paste the damn thing together with some convenient music and post 'er up. You can dwiddle away at your artsy version for the rest of the spring or put it with the Silverton frames you've been hoarding.

.....and many thanks to ACH for his bulldog-ish determination to make this a success and a day of most excellent and nicely organized fun. Lars bringing the keg was awesome, Mossback sharing his $15,000 smoked salmon went perfectly with the Pyramid.

Good times, good crew, and surprisingly good skiing.

Good times, good crew, and surprisingly good skiing.

Yes to all three! Excellent executions of enthusiasm.

Dammit, wish I could have been there. Seems like a great time. I'll make it next year. Gotta get some of these mythical "long boards" and make sure to stay injury free.

Cheers to ACH for making it happen, even though I wasn't able to make it.

Flowing Alp I wouldn't call you a 2nd teamer. You lead the charge to the High T with a strong group while the others were shooting pics.
