Shut up JONG. How do you know what this is about?

The first CO Mini was in 2004. The CO Mini started out as a get together for SKIING maggots. There weren't very many of us back then. We partied too.
It only became purely a party scene recently because A-Basin's pussified terrain policies meant that there was nothing better than a blue groomer to ski. Well, if you go to the Basin and all you get is Keystone blues, what else can you do but get completely hammered and not ski? Fuck, we don't have to go to a ski resort to have a drinking party.
We are skiers. This needs to be about skiing AND drinking.
the open terrain is bounded only by the imagination. instead of looking outside the CLOSED ropes, look inside to the stream channels, rock jibs, mud straightlines, and puddle/pond skims. try that box in the park, throw that 3 you only throw on the nicest of corn days, hell, may at the basin pretty much kicks ass!
(however, late april usually means pow.)
once again gosey picks retarded dates for shit
Other than the conflict with the Corn Harvest, I fail to see how these dates--that is, having more terrain available--are retarded...
Can we have a real poll for the dates?
What, we've had like (8) people vote for the 26th. We need more votes.
And what's with the two dates? We've done that before and nobody shows up the next day. Just pick one day.
In the past it's been in May:
‘04’ Mini Summit – May 8th
‘05’ Mini Summit – May 14th
‘06’ Mini Summit – April 29th
'07' Mini Summit - May 12th
I guess everyone else who voted for 4-26/27 is also retarded. If the date was THAT big of a deal, more people would have spoken out. But not the case. If you feel so inclined, start a "CO Mini Part II for those keeping it real in May with extra long pond skimming, blue groomers, tons of PBR, and bikini contest" rollcall thread. :)
^We are now many... should there be many minis? Maybe...
actually I intend to be grilling on the beach every weekend come may. so meh. but i'll be at the corn harvest.
In my short time out here, it certainly seems the number of mags that meet up to go skiing has grown considerably. I have a feeling that once May hits, there were be weekly mini's -- maybe not as rowdy, maybe not as large scaled and promoted, and maybe not the full overnight let's headbang and throw shit in the fire type of event -- but I bet the willingness to ski hard for a few laps and drink from noon on will be high until A-Basin closes.
After all, P_McPoser is great at recruiting non-mags like this guy with his 10-liquor chocolate-covered concotion:

I seem to recall in 06 skiing Buffalo one day, partying and skiing with some mags that afternoon, partying pretty late that night, having some random chick sleep in the back of my pickup that night, and skiing the Christo couloir the next day. There's plenty of skiing to be had. But, CAIC/lbd/Telemike gets my vote. I'll probably head over to the basin after that.
Oh and for the record all trees thrown into the fire late at night were deadfall. I swear.
well, for good measure i'm still bringing a chainsaw. fuck the forest service.
on a side note. has anything been settled with the beer/alcohol? i can pitch in and get a huge tub o' beer for $50. it's about 300 beers give or a take a few. but, i would need someone else in the denver area to help go get it and load it up. calling NP, rideski, .....
Is a one-day mini requisite? If so, we could do LBD/Telemike adieu/Corn Harvest one day and the official Mini the next.
I could also quit whining and just let it happen on May 3-4.
We could also do both...
don't plan around me - I don't really give a shit - I just like fuckin with y'all
