[Superstar Punani]

"When Summits were Cool"

This flashback is dedicated to all the cool cats at the inaugural SLC Summit in April 2002. Here's a reminder on what will probably never be repeated again.

Undentified gives new meaning to the term "dumpster diving"


Twoplanker hucks his meat, and misses the sharp corner of a snow covered dumpster (= guaranteed disembowelment) by less than a foot.



The swarm of maggots then hung out at the parking lot until every last drop of sweet sweet beer was consumed.



Karaoke time...

Xover. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

These pics are just a tip of the iceberg as far as what went down. Unfortunately the original real-time posts from that time period has been forever erased in the PowderMag fiasco. If anyone has other pics post 'em up!

6 months later....

[skier666]

I think Clack still uses those same ski pants....

[Odin]

holy shit! You managed to find a summit picture with me in it! I only knew of 1 other from the first summit. I missed every other photo day.

[Superstar Punani]

I think Clack still uses those same ski pants....

5 years, 3 days a year = 15 days... Those Shane McConkey sessions pants are holding up!

[sledneckripper]

Bump for stoke!

1977 maggot summit!!!!!!

...the good ole days......

[zIPPY]

Holy Christ is that an amazing picture!!!


Are you sure this was '02? Judging by the tucked in shirt while singing karaoke... 91? makes you wonder.

[backpack]

I finally had to retire that jacket after it snagged on a branch and one side ripped apart on the traverse from lone tree to back door this season. I also finally bought a new helmet yesterday (on super-duper-uber clearance... $22!) and new bibs too... holy crap I'm going to have new gear next season!

I have some photos stashed away at home... I'll post them when I get back from work.

Edit: Added these, none are my photos, but they're from the summit and I found them in a backup folder. I have a bunch of my own but I have to pick some and resize them and blahblahblah gotta clean my apartment now.

[powstash]

exceeeeeelent work SP. I don't remember that picture from The Canyons day but I sure remember having a good time with the maggots. Little did I realize I would become one.

[danimal's dead]

Where have all the good men gone, long time waiting...

No seriously, where did all those people go, did they all change their handles or did they just disappear into Odin's head.

I find it hard to believe that you guys actually exist. I am pretty sure that you are all delusions of my mind and that I am locked up in some coma recovery room at a hospital.

One thing that I know for a fact is that if I don't know that you exist, then for all intents and purposes you don't exist. Odin

[comish]

Those picts look like they are from the 60's!?!?!?

[slim]

Greydon Clark gets down

"Ahem.

KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHERFUCKER!"

[Odin]

I would also like to note that my ungodly shitty handwriting is on display in the first picture.


Thanks...

[grskier]

Did someone jizz on the lens of that camera?

Funny thing is it's still great stoke!

[rightcoast]

Thanks for that. Also makes me glad I have a new helmet on order, i didnt know I had that thing in 2002.
That was, without a doubt, some of the most fun I have ever had.
(peanut gallery, olive coat is me)

[Big E]

I was there for the '02 Summit (although, and this haunts me still, only for the first, very sunny and dry 4 days), and I swear to God I don't remember it being that blurry. What are those, scans of Polaroids???

[backpack]

What are those, scans of Polaroids???

Didn't SuPu have a disposable camera?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

That was, without a doubt, some of the most fun I have ever had.

seconded^^

thanks for the mammaries pu.

[FrankZappa]

This is pure golden history. Thanks for putting it together SuPu.

I really wish I knew this crew of kooks existed at that time.

I am diggin the fun on this line.

[Buzzworthy]

No seriously, where did all those people go, did they all change their handles or did they just disappear into Odin's head.

They are all still around, here and there, some more than others. Armchair is occasionaly spotted in NYC, running his restuarant.

[Yossarian]

In "Peanut Gallery" and "Apres..." the red and yellow jackets on far left are myself and Cornhole respectively. Armchair was around and did wear yellow (and can be seen in the lift line in the Hyman & Pinner shot and the group shot at the end, but that aint him in the others. You can tell the difference in the helmet - Cornhole had a ghastly rasberry colored helm, Armchair Extreme (a.k.a. ACE) had a silver.

I can't believe I've known you fools for six years now.

[Odin]

Cornhole had a ghastly rasberry colored helm, .

RASPBERRY BOERI!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

RASPBERRY BOERI!

she wore a rasssssberry boeri
the kind you find at a second hand store.

[AKA]

I wonder if burg and krista ever met up?

[Buster Highmen]

And that's that sexy lugger of the lens, Powho to the right of 2Planquer:
