TR: What happens when you combine One Pieces, Bikinis, New Yorkers, the Wasatch..?

TR: What happens when you combine One Pieces, Bikinis, New Yorkers, the Wasatch and complete isolation for Nine Days?

The answer? This TR.

*********I must request that your responses be respectful, so as not to scare the girls away*********


Welcome to my latest TR. In total, 18 of us ventured up to a cabin above the top of Cecret Chair – some of us were there for the full time. We were quite isolated, so the end results were a lot of creativity.

I’m excluding a music selection from the TR. Instead, I’m going embed Svetlana’s video. It is a must-see, and really is the focal point of this report. Collectively, we got a lot of photos as well, so this is going to be one big TR. Some of the best photo material will be at the end, so be sure to make it all the way through. Also, the video is toward the end.

On a moonlit Friday night, we awaited the snowcat to take us up to our house:

Saturday morning, I awoke to some pretty colorful outfits. This was the beginning of MANY one-pieces and “ski suits”.

Ok, now things get even more interesting…for both the guys and the gals. I don’t think I’m going to bother to explain:

Day three at Snowbird was highly enjoyable. The day began with the dropping of a rope and some nice turns.

Now, for the most important part of the TR: Here is the video, brought to you by CKBRADLEY.COM (you will notice some similarities between it and a certain Warren Miller clip)

We I got back to the house, there were more shenanigans going on. Here, one house-member enjoys a beer, while another throws a heli-iron cross:

Well, I hope you enjoyed my TR. GOODBYE:

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_C9lvDCjzN8s/S3...0/DSC03624.JPG

Simply genius.

full of win. Looks like a great time. Some good skiing pics too!

Nice to come in from skiing and find an entertaining TR posted, thanks!

outstanding

rediculous

Can I come next year? Jesus that ruled.

Nice obscure porn soundtrack in the vid.....That song is from a classic.....Behind the green door?

A very well balanced TR. Thanks for posting. :D

That is well done indeed! Looks like a nice place for a skiing vacation.

sweet trip!

okbye

this is like a 7 layer beandip full of win

FKNA!!!!!!!

Simply put: you are a rock star.

Can I come next year? OK, poor choice of words.

epic P's Day weekend. Some people just live the life.

Shit dude that is unbelievably full of fuckin' win!
:yourock:

Pow Puss gives this a 10 out of 10. Powder and pussy in quality and quantity.

Now I dig the hard-core TR's as much as the next guy, but its always nice to get a blue-blood, east coast establishment TR from Thatcher. It cleanses the palate.

Ain't no party like a Tea Partayyyyy!

And getting the Tinz along for the ride takes this thing way out to 14 on the scale of 1- 10. Things are a bit touch and go with the Toppster these days, so I figured she might have passed on the trip.

Is Magic Mountain too blue collar for these ladies?

looks awesome. should have invited some of the canyon-living tgr members:fmicon:

great TR

nice ski bag

Nice obscure porn soundtrack in the vid.....That song is from a classic.....Behind the green door?[/QUOTE]

Not that i'm THAT familiar with this genre of music...but that music is DEFINITELY from Debbie does Dallas...any seconders?

Consider me one of the many #1 fans of the Thatcher TRs.

high approval of everything in this tr!
