Pain McShlonkey Weekend TR with a bunch of photos (I wish this more NSFW)

[ex-powderbroker]

I had a flight credit expiring from DELTA SUCKAGE so I took the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Squaw for the Pain McShlonkey weekend. It was an awesome trip to Cali and totally worth it despite the fact that it nuked on the east coast and I got 0.0 faceshots in Tahoe.

In some kind of reverse bizzaro order:



Hulk about to run wild on some Sherry.



Nice of Lindsay and Tiger to show.



I saw a lot of Lindsay:



Love was in the air!



People were in the air!



I can't believe this costume didn't win.



Nice try, Bond!



Padding his small mountain score.



Epicski quality snowlercarving



There's Waldo.


Juke Box Hero!



Awesome party.



Not pictured in the front: Umby



Gondola, and.... scene. Squaw is awesome.



Relaxed the next day at Alpine while the whole valley slept off a hangover. This girl was happy to be out there, maybe she'll be a skier yet!

Anyway, I was really excited about the whole thing, I think Squaw is the coolest, and I wrote a bunch of stuff about McConkey here (of which I hope most if it is right)

And the trailer




Hope to go again next year and actually ski with some maggots (and get some actual pow, not just glop ), although it was really cool of Scralph Macchio to come meet me for a couple drinks in the Bay. Even better, Franz Klammer wasn't there to ruin it

Enchanted Forest?

Yes that's where the course was. They had the kids run the course first for their own comp and then the bladers quickly swept in

if i didn't have a snowlerblade malfunction i totally would have won the chinese downhill.

bump this up cause Squaw deserves a shit ton of snow so I can come back and party again.

In the tribute movie there is a home video of an illegal bungee outside Boulder off a train bridge. On the bridge is a long haired guy named Dave. He was only in Boulder that summer. Anyone remember his last name? I'd forgotten some acquitances and was shocked and saddened by the tribute.
