After a night of friends having a great time, We arose to and awesome spread of organic food from the farm. Booked out early to procure thr prime parking for the CF gathering. Arriving at 815am, we found a few peps ready for the day.
Up to group sales for our tix, THANKS BEECH MTN!> had a great day skiing. Weather was warming and the snow was soft. EXCELLENT grooming, and some stashes of powder if you knew where to look. Got the lowdown from BarkleyDog on the lift( always nice to meet other members,esp Patrol) and proceded to rip the slopes till 11:30. Found a couple of nice runs in the trees above White Lightning. Found the guys and hit it repetadly. On the 5th run we had quite the following of people who had no clue what we were skiing, but came anyway. As we exited the glade, we were called back over to the slope by Beech Patrol. "That one in the orange has been tearing it up all day" i heard a female patrol say to older guy patrol in reference to me. They were nice, said please stay out. I said "boot deep powder and loads of fun", patrol said do it again and loose your ticket. They proceded to x mark 5 members tickets. I told cutie female patrol I already had VIP on my ticket (had marked VIP on my ticket at Group sales) so I didnt get an X. Cool! sorry boys, Im special, at least mama says so.
Next run up the lift took 10 minutes wait so EC, Davidski and I hit the powerlines. Best skiing in NC This year. Crust on mashed taters in the sun exposure. Its not for newbies, but if you know what you are doing, Patrol said they cant touch you there. (o Save u either)
Then on to the parkinglot for lunch! Well, we had brought the mascot, Jerome, hes a black Rooster, to the party. He exited the vehicle and proceded to poke around the lot for hours. The chicken chase began about 1 with many members getting in on rounding up our bird. You havent partied till you party with a chicken. We put him back in his cage and ate. Lots of new faces and good times insued. Couple of guys gave me relief on the grill and much food was consumed. Thanks for the duck rabbits somebody!!!
Ran up for 1 more run and the line was at least 45 min wait. Hit lift 6 for some more runs and back to the lot to clean up. Good times at the Beech Gathering for sure.
Oh yeah, as I was up for my last runs, someone called 911 and said there was a chicken in the parking lot getting drunk. I know, too funny call. Evidentally the BMPD showed up cause he had too and began the investigating of the drunk chicken. Blacky and X is all he found drunk , and they had a driver, so it was good. Jerome sat quietly and all was good.
NO Chickens were harmed in the making of an EPIC party at Beech! Bronco failed his initiation into the OGs club and can re-apply next season! No pix as I skied. Plenty of flashes yesterday.
Someone please post pix and vids. Chicken pix OK
Jerome is in the yard again, enjoying the memories of hanging with the CFs!
Livestock, alcohol and skiing. It's a winning combo!

Mike's a good dude -- he was cracking up about the fact that while the police were doing their investigation -- throughout there was a crate with a chicken and some empties on top

It was super-awesome hanging out with everyone this past Saturday and of course Jerome... we gotta get him set of his own skis, haha. I wonder what a lift ticket would cost for Jerome? Would they like charge him as a child since he's only stands about a foot tall? Hope everyone liked my homemade salsa I shared and thanks for the food and the black rabbit I traded for water, lol. Later! - Will

Good food and cold beer! Great time hanging with the CF's. Of Course it took me a minute to figure out what CF stood for, but Jerome cleared that up.
Here are some pics I took with my phone. I'll upload the ones I took from my real camera in the next day or so.
Yeah I got caught too! However, they marked my ticket from the Summit that was a week earlier.
Oh Captain, my Captain
Looking down White Lightening
Thanks to everyone that showed up. It was good to meet several new folks and hang with folks I already knew.

We tried to get him to leave this for us since the closest bathrooms were closed lol
Balkey getting his shotgun start
A little powder was still to be found if you looked for it....but watch out for those magic markers!
Crowds were minimal early but didn't take long for them to come out full force
Southern star and white lightening were in good shape for most of the day...
A snow sculpture and igloo at the base of Oz (which was windy as all get out)
$$$ on WL....I was one of the lucky few not to get tagged!
Viking and 2slik with Jarome
Thanks for the Clemson face mask, Viking! Love it
We had a blast on Friday night with the CFers and even more fun with everyone on Saturday! Nice to see familiar faces and some new ones as well.
Saturday night was a fun time as well. ODB, I still want the recipe for that banana/vanilla rum....delicious and dangerous
We headed out again on Sunday morning rode the quad with ODB and saw pink as we rode under her on the lift. We headed out around noon to get a head start on the drive back.
Thanks again to skizer and his buddy for offering us a place to stay and thanks to Jarome for the entertainment (glad he didn't end up as my chick fil a sandwich...he's living the good life for sure!). Gotta say it was a great weekend!
