Nice farkin' report...Nice farkin' pics...
Remind me again why I live back East? Oh, right, I'm a jackass.
Well, maybe not...
No, that's definitely it. Damn.
Statement of the day was definately, "I can't believe this is opening day." The amount of terrain that was available and skiable was suprising. So much stoke on the mountain... people were definately just excited to be skiing again. It was great to finally meet up with the Kirkwood regulars... sorry I couldn't make the rager at LPH's. Hopefully you guys will show the flick again next weekend.
Ow! Head still hurts.
First: lph is the fucking man! Way to host a proper opening day festivity. And thanks for lending all of us drunkards some of your floor space.
Second: To all those who were too light weight [cough]punani[/cough], [cough]Arty[/cough] to get out this morning, it ruled too. Head throbbing, I managed to get out there right at opening and was treated to absolutely bluebird conditions and loads of fresh. Made many traverses way out toward pali and scored run after run of untracked while the rest of the world stood in the line to pick up their passes. Met up with Telenater, DJSapp, and some guy from telemark tips right before noon as the 4 beers, 3 mud slides, and multiple tequilia shots from the night before caught up with me. Made one more run with them and found the world had discovered my stashes and were pilliaging them and decided to call it an early day.
Great meeting all of the new crew and can't wait for next weekend.
Well, Mammoth was cool also.. ;)
Glad to hear Kirkweed went off.. Sounds/Looks like the conditions were kick ass.. I will probably be up there Thanksgiving weekend, hope to see some of you maggots..
it's been way to long since the last SuPU writeup. rock on.
Wow, where to begin.
First of all, as Punani said, conditions were much better than we expected. Nice to ski pow on opening day.
Great to meet all the new Kirkwood faces. Kellie and Anna, you guys are the greatest. :D Thank you so much for coming to the party, you are welcome back anytime. (BTW, didn't ride with Anna, but Kellie rips, has a great attitude and is super cute - exactly what the crew needs. :D) Thank you for helping clean up, I know Punani really wanted to, but he was to busy passing out on the couch. (lightweight) ;)
Britney and BC FLOW, great hanging with you two, thanks for the Tequila. Britney, I think breaking out the shot glasses was the key to the evening. ;)
Splat, thanks for the phone message, glad you and Katherine came and had such a good time.
Slim, wish you could have made the party, nice meeting you.
Shoe, I am so sorry we showed the movie shortly after you left. I tried to resist, but they made me!
WSD, I can't thank you enough for all your help. Sorry you weren't able to ride, but maybe Thanksgiving. :cool:
Clack, you were missed. :(
For those of you who liked the movie and let me know. Thanks! It was a pleasure to make that movie after probably the best year I have had skiing. Not because I improved, or hucked a big cliff, or got in alot of days, but because most of my days skiing were with someone from the board. Love you guys. :)
PS Thanks alot for the burnt upper lip Kellie and Britney! ;)
Now THAT was a group hug.
I was there today (in line for season's pass at 8:15, barely a ten minute wait thank you very much), but failed to hook up with the maggots. Although I think someone yelled down to me from the chairlift around 12:30. No? Must be the voices again.
Hopefully next weekend. I may be up this Thursday as well if any midweek maggots can make it.
Thanks to all that made this weekend great.
I won't try to thank every one, but here's a few that deserve really special mention.
LPH for hosting.
DJSapp and Divegirl for sharing the ride, gas money, and great good spirit.
Nice report.
Mammoth- 2"/hr falling all day Saturday...everyone left (similar to last Sat)...lapped 3-2, patrollman's, far-west-trees all day..tracks covered after each run...
Sunday- Bluebird, top opened..pick your line under the D/O's and W/O's, and Scotties......12+ light pow for Sierra, covering some hidden land-mines..6 cores shots, 2 fat lips, bruised goggle line under right eye...Haus almost killed us...fabulous wknd.
It's...what?..Nov 16th?:p
[Arty plugs ears]Lalalalalalalalalala!!!! I can't hear you![/APG]Quote:

Great meeting all of the new crew and can't wait for next weekend.
I said GOD DAMN. What an openning day! We were scoring freshies all over the place and the rocks weren't too bad. A few nice long gouges, but no core shots luckily. The party was a blast. I can't even begin to thank lph for hosting all of us and letting us trash his house. I mean, who else would allow a bunch of drunken idiots into their house and cheer them on while they were lighting themselves on fire?
As for today, I just really needed to sleep in. The body wasn't hurting too badly, now did I have a hangover from last night. But being sick and not exercising the last two weeks really took it's toll...yeah yeah...I know...fucking excuses. :D
Anyway, it was great to see all you bastards again, and it was a blast meeting the new members of the crew. I can't wait to spend more days at the Wood with all of you. THANKS!!!!
Here are some more pix from the party.

All under random shiz. good stuff.:D
I held off on the sliding, needed to relax for a day, but the party was great. GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE. The laughs went on all night. MaggotWood rocks.
I say GODDAMN that was a good opening weekend. It felt so good to be back at the home mountain with the crew after a summer skiing alone in NZ. The level of stoke was incredable. Thanks to all who made it possible, LPH, WSD, Nater, and the whole kirkwood army.
Lego--You bailed too early. There were still tons of stashes left in Wagonwheel if you could survive the traverse. It was sketchy, espically with the manditory rock hit at the bottom of a gully at speed, so you could get up to the other side, but as Kellie, Nater, and someone else (sorry, too many faces to remember) will attest, that was some sweet sweet pow.
Splat--Let me know when you get those helmets in for some Beta testing, I'm your human cannonball.
And to those who were nursing hangovers...

STOP VHINING VOU GIRLY MEN!!
The carnage has just begun.
LPH, how did that video of me and Jose turn out? I have an idea or two if that footage turned out and makes the cut for the next movie.
Also, I left a grey Billabong Sweatshirt by the pinball machine (I think). If so, I'll grab it from you next weekend if you're around.

So who are the three lovely ladies in the background??
Nothing I would have rather done than be up there with you guys.
:(
Next weekend. :D
(LPH - Thanks for telling me it sucked. I knew you were lying but I appreciated it anyway)
If I remember correctly (I'm from the photo, that might be questionable)
left to right
Walter Sob's Lady
Divegirl
Britney (no, she's not wearing the blue tube top)
Punani....nice report....finally made it to this board. Today was sick as well...Bluebird in the morning. To add more to the billygoatin', I dedided to lay some lines in the main gut of "Oops" and then perform the extreme travese out to the skier's right. There was some massive exposure but the snow seemed to stick fairly well to the rocks...so one more big wet storm....it'll be good to go.

That pic of Cornice was today November 16th....8:45 am
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I must say the weekend was GREAT!
lph, you definitley know how to make a movie, throw a party, and make the new kids feel right at home! Next time, I'll try to thank you more adequately than by burning your face :-) Maybe that happened because I had given into peer pressure too many times previously in the shot-taking arena! And to britney, divegirl, and wsd - it was great to meet you guys - i love meeting girls that rock! And splat, good to see ya again - you certainly came through with the hug and a good laugh . . . and thanks for telepathically telling punani to make me the glove winner!!!
The skiing was pretty rad too, and I can't wait for the mountain to fill in so we can go find more happy places! So, get excited party people, cuz it looks like ski season is here!!!!
Niiiccee... The Maggettes be lookin good.. :)Quote:

AAARRGGHH! Why couldn't I get the time off?
Sure looks like a good time was had by all.
So stoked to see the mountain covered this early
Looking forward to seeing lph's movie and meeting all again
Next weekend will be my season opener. Who's in?
