[wyeaster]

[sparkletarte.]

thanks bobby! for the knee pic and everything else!
ls- I didn't.
mk- do! and yes it's on the hit list.

[wicked_sick]

That picture of you grinning out of the sled hooked to the chair is awesome. : 7-10 days of rest is probably in order anyways after all that pow.

[wordbird]

That Stevens bird sticker is almost covered up. Next year I'm hoping we can put some stickers on my split after a pineapple/scott bowl lap!

noooooo. the travel day is the rest day. I would not be at home were it not for my knee!




looks like the bbi timing was impeccable! good luck with all that weather.

little known fun fact, that Steven's bird sticker was created by a mag.

What do you plug that Strat into?

[garyfromterrace]

Coming in late from Burnie Hut deep in the Howsen Range. I know you folks all had a blast and I can't wait to ski with you at another summit. Hope JH BBI flies high too!

The musical instrument belongs to a roommate. That is kinda cool, does that mag still post around here?

[Greydon Clark]

Rarely. These days, you're most likely to find him shredding brown pow at Tokul.

He's been pretty inactive on the boards since he had kids, somehow he can still find his bike but seems to have forgotten where he left the skis. Same guy took the pic I still use as my avatar.

He's been known to pop up at Long Board Day now and again...

^^ bwah! That was the LBD that ended with me walk-pissing on I-90 alongside the vw bus in the background whilst stuck in a sounders traffic jam near the stadiums. Good times

[GeezerSteve]

praise be to Ullr

[jackattack]

praise be

[NW_SKIER]

And all of ullr's people said
"Amen."

[Norseman]

Ullr's people do not say, "Amen", ya cuntry cowbanger.

I hail You, Son of Sif!

----------

Hail to Ullr Poetic form: Ljóðaháttr (Song Meter)

Dark and dreaming Deep Ullr´s hall,
in frosted eaves fling shadows far
Shafts on snow fall Shot from ice bow.
Elf-shot melts with morning light bold.

Sun on snow blinds Blazes bow-god eyes
As for the quarry they quest, ice-blue.
Oath-lord takes scent Waits silent for kill.
Knock the bow and beat the heart.

Rhythm of the dance Reason for the draw.
Sif´s son patterns Holda´s gown with prints
Pursuing prey He praises her.
Swift death bursts blood on the brightness.

Howls the hunter! Hallow the beast.
Ullr´s shield sets sail with its cold cargo.
Sharp bolt slays prey Deep shield sleighs prey
Fast the wolf to feasting hall fair, the pack to feed.

Toast well the dead Tight hold the living
Frost fire warms no heart as friendship does.
Yet burns flesh tender Bitter bright is Midgard,
Scalds without warmth, words alone make the hearth glow.

Hurry up, eh.

[abraham]

Hurry up, eh.

Hey! Where are your pictures from the trip?


I took none last weekend so I have nothing to share

[oftpiste]

nice work digging that up! we gotta roust that boy.

He's been known to pop up at Long Board Day now and again...

[Gepeto]

Dang, not the year to miss - been fun lurkin as an inaugural BBI attendee. So glad it went down like it did. Good to know that quite a few are headed to the next bbi on the rota.

So, I see a super shitty 17BBI sticky on a snowboard somewhere in this thread or the padded seats in the last few days and it dawns on me to drop some knowledge but I let it slip.

If the failure was wide spread?; let it be known that the material is "re-positional car wrap". An aggressive adhesive is contained in glass beads beneath a medium tack adhesive so that the material can be repositioned infinite times and or heated to apply to a shape (works well down to the radius of a coffee cup before image distortion). Once the label is applied it takes some elbow power to fracture the beads in order to release the gue. Ideally applied above 55F

Same holds true for the helmet stika

This primer may have got lost in the sauce - no gravy for you Bad Boy!

[wyeaster]

the boy and i finally got around to making a small contribution to the rescue dogs. i'm sorry i couldn't do it in person.

[dookeyXXX]

Nice!
Y'all's event looks like what the Mammoth Mini used to be some 10 years ago.
Way to represent strong.

BTW, and only because I was recently on a Brad trip, do y'all use this as your theme song?:






*i feel like such a JONG in that I've been listening to that song for 20 years and only recently realized that it's about skiing! (or at least about apres) DOH...

[pipedream]

It can't be a coincidence that there are ~37 weeks between cinco & next year's BBI, can it?

[wyeaster]

i'm training hard, pipedream. hoping to be fully capable for the full knuckledragger tour in feb. 2018.

"Just a dollar a week..." Sounds like a Sara MacLaughlin ad
