Utah Mini Trip Report

I think that is the first time I've ever seen myself skiing in a vid before. Freaky. I thought you were taking stills mcwop. Very sneaky.

Anyhow, good times cruising around the bird on Sat even if it was a little firm. I had a good time anyhow and it was great meeting some new maggots and riding with some utards for the first time.

skiguide, buzz my apologies for cliffing you guys out. I was lost and I don't know how to read signs.

To the 15 year old that picked up my poles after you mom knocked them over, thanks. I swear I was just throwing my chair in your general direction out of coincidence.

Thanks also to buzz and a.c. for planning all of this even though a.c. was too cool for sat. ;)

Of course a few feet of fresh would have been ideal. Nonetheless, I attended my first Mini and got to ski with a bunch of very cool maggots at Alta - most of which I'd never previously met. It wasn't hard to see the rust chipping away as Buzz remembered how to ski again; in fact, before his legs turned to rubber, he was really gettin' with the program.

I also saw the pride in Comish's father's face when Comish won his bright red t-shirt that said HolyFuckingShit at the GMD apres ski party. Moments like that don't come along every day.

What a great time the UT Mini turned out to be, I met loads of maggots for the first time as well as some from last season. Interesting that the attendees seemed to be an almost completely different group than last year.

Props must go out to (in no particular order):
Buzzworthy and Altachic, for organizing
Foggy Goggles, for navigating
MacDaddy and Boaderline, for partying hospitality
BobMc, for Solitude guiding
Cornbread, for showing up and being located more South than me
Droopy, for comic relief (Did you make it home with both shoes?)
Jibij & Snowsprite for sticker art
Everyone that skied with my gaperishness and didn't laugh out loud at me

Cons:
The snow did not cooperate, after seven UT trips this was the first time there was no pow to be had. Also, the first time I got more snow at my house than the Wasatch during the same time period.
Middle Age+Flatland Lungs+One Prior Ski Day+Manky Snow=Tele-Flail
Quite possibly set the UT record for U turns made in a weekend
Did I mention No Pow?

Absolutely Huge Fuckin' Props:
To Gordy, above being a great guy for starters, giving glademaster his pair of Kev gloves was way, way cool.
AND LASTLY, Everyone that attended any part of the Mini, its not just all about the skiing, but meeting up with the people we all spend so much time with here, putting faces with the names, and sharing good times. In that respect I would say that this year's Mini was a HUGE success!

Hope to see all of you again, whether in Jackson, next season in UT, or just some random place somewhere.

Nice to see you all, good times. wish i had my legs though... fell all over the hills

here is the only picture i have at the moment...

Solitude on Sunday, our guides led us to some pretty nice stashes past the headwall forest, these were the lines of the day...
Left to Right: no name, bombs away, corner chute

I believe that are is called Corner Chute(to the lookers right) and farther to the lookers left it become the Evergreen area. Woodsy gave us a great tour of that area the week before. It must hold some of the most consistently good snow anywhere in the Cottonwoods. I may be wrong about my I.D., but either way, Solitude sucks.

Pretty sick footy, eh?

AKA wtf? Movie linky no worky for me.

P.S. Mucho mucho very jealous. Wish I were skiing RIGHT NOW. But these pictures are making it all seem like reality (I leave in 4 freaking days!!!) instead of the silly dream it has been for the last several months.

Cannot wait to attend next year's mini. Will be very near by that time. :cool:

I got that jibberish the first time I tried to download it, too. Try it again. The link does work.

Who is this Woodsy of which you speak? Is he some sort of mythical being?
3 trips to UT I've tried to hook up with him, during all three trips he has vanished as a spirit into the night. I'm beginning to think he is really just another of Iceman's alias'.

Add to my list of Cons above:
Missed skiing with Woodsy, again. :confused:

Pretty sick footy, eh?

AKA wtf? Movie linky no worky for me.

P.S. Mucho mucho very jealous. Wish I were skiing RIGHT NOW. But these pictures are making it all seem like reality (I leave in 4 freaking days!!!) instead of the silly dream it has been for the last several months.

Cannot wait to attend next year's mini. Will be very near by that time. :cool:

If that link does not work, then go to my download page and use the download link there. Video is at the bottom of the page:

P.S. - The Matrix has you Max.

There have to be more pics than this, even if the conditions weren't sick. Where the hell are they?
