Nice to finally meet you Jam! I would've brought you that ipod today but I'll be out of commission for a few days because my knee is pretty wrecked from 3rd Rail. Dustin and I both are on the injured list for a while. Nice pics! Did you guys have fun at the after party? The past two years was better, but I sure still had fun!

Haha, love the photo story... that hit is a must. But where's the hike shot, Jam? Did your phone delete it? Can't peep the video at the moment... what is it?



Saturday was indeed a great day. We got in some serious slush time while still managing to charcoal some dogs, toss back wine and beer, watch Tanner rip the rail jam with and without skis and even witness some super charged break dancing on the Beech Tree CARPET!



Got in some good turns Sunday morning before the rain started. Ken brought 80s sexy back with his gaper day apparel and Jam and Jenna were fart bagged to the max. Grizz is now a thug gaper rapper. Beast and I were soaked as we decided to push out a good 4 more runs after the rain started to fall... no comment on my last run except that I don't like rain and boxes and ouch... ok, maybe two comments.

not a great day of riding on sunday, but i'll take it over a day of no snow. hope they will stay open til mid march, even if it's just freestyle with a few kickers.

I forgot about this. Apparently there was an old school vs new school battle after we left

Nice!



Tom saw the whole thing and I'm sure it was hilarious, as my board slipped out side ways on the up box to flat down. I did a head first chest slide down the entire flat down essentially... complete with arm burn and shin bang. Sad part is I had just told Tom I wasn't going to hit it.



Good to see you skirt!

I'll add my pics here. Saturday was busy for me, skiing, chaperoning my church youth, Telefest and demoing some 4 Front midfat skis. Due to chaperone duties, I didn't get out until 10:30 but had a great day anyway. We had 5 new skiers/snowboarders in our youth who are all anxious to come back after having such a good experience with their lessons and all the experienced kids had a great time too. Thanks to Ski/Snowboard School! Saw lots of friends and made a few new ones too!



Bluebird day but no snow anywhere but on the slopes.







TelePink, the first attempt! It was really fun. Saturday was not really a good day to learn since the slopes were mashed taters and my skies were skinny but I was able to finally link 2 turns! I will diffinately try this again with better conditions.







Love Beech, ODB and Bultaco







Trying out the new 4 Fronts











ODB helping my newbies with their skiing.



















Skiwryter's trials on the flats











And success!







ODB's commentary on the lift speed.







Spent the night with the Skiwryter family, arriving to find out i could sleep on the couch or share a room with a hot Swedish snowboarder named Sven. Decisions, decisions?





Sunday was 50 degrees and overcast when we set out. It was a fun day with friends but with crappy conditions.



Note the lack of snow on the Oz ramp even after just one day. Actually Oz had the best conditions but you just had to take off your skis to get there. Thank you Oz for a good season, sad to see you closed today.











Upper White Lightning still holding up.







Lower White Lightning was deceptive, looked good but was ice under thick mush.







Racing was going on on Robbins. It was geart to hear all the kids cheering for each other!







Love Beech and Skirt on Southern Star, the best run for the day.







Looking down Star







Saw a few gapers























Capped off the day by lunching at the Beech Tree, closing for the season, with the Skiwryter family, Browneyed Girl, Tailboner, and the hot Swedish snowboarder Sven. ;)



Until next weekend....
