*note to all travelers going South on 395. Don't go 95 mph on the straight away just before Bridgeport. If you do, have your license in hand...leave your registration card at home....and they'll let you go :D

What a tease again - hate you.:fuckyou:

great TR as always! I too, am jealous.

Once again, the evil one has thrown down the gauntlet.

PSA!!!

HEY! I was a "participant," I swear it! Thanks to everyone for a fantastic corn skiing, road tripping, hot tubbing, pizza flipping, cake eating, Mo Marting weekend on an incredible hill. The PNW has stayed winter all spring, so it was great finally to get in two perfect days of sliding on snow under the sun. And it was snowing again at home yesterday morning!

As always, rad.

Thanks for the Stoke.

Ok, finally got a chance to wade through the load of pics I took.

But first a big thanks to Monique for setting up the place to stay, for the cool peeps at the condo, and I can't leave out a big thanks to Girlski for the upside-down meat pizza puree.

Now, in no particular order, the corn harvest:
