Great shot of my sis skiing her heart out before she heads for knee surgery next month. The smile says it all!
As I was thinking of all of you skiing, I was mountain biking my heart out on the Sunshine Coast with all my close friends for my birthday weekend! And I even remembered to call mum and wish her a happy mother's day :the_fingeQuote:

Bueller? Bueller?
I'll do it and put it in this thread later. Most of the shots are on my cam, BigKuba's, and Sinecure's. You guys want to send me your shots?Quote:

More to come. Working on choosing and uploading pics. Stay tuned.
How appropriately funny - that my car matches Optimus's color scheme :cool:Quote:

A Decepticon would indeed say something like that.
An Autobot, however, would not.
And for the record (and to avoid potential copywrite infringment), it's MAGGOPTIMUS PRIME
:)
OK. Here's a little tease of some of the photos I have. On Saturday Tarkman, Spats, Chunder, Bodhi, Andy (screen-name?) and I headed up to Virginia Lakes for some BC fun. I have a bunch of pics from the day to post, but the epic line belonged to Spats and deserves its own post in this thread. I don't actually have a picture of the entire line in one photo. But you'll get the idea. Its starts at the top and finishes at the bottom. And like beauties of old, it has that wonderful "hourglass" figure - only with a very long middle section.
This picture shows the top part. Spats started up at the crest on skier's left of the split top of this:
http://www.biglines.com/photosv2/200...ines_84817.jpg
Actually, here's a pic of Spats getting ready up top on the rocks. Where's Waldo? (Spats):
http://www.biglines.com/photosv2/200...ines_84821.jpg
It starts to tighten up toward the middle:
http://www.biglines.com/photosv2/200...ines_84819.jpg
And gets nice and tight in here:
http://www.biglines.com/photosv2/200...ines_84820.jpg

On, Friday (I think), hiking up to Avi 1, at the end of the day, a random dude hiking up says "this is the biggest party I've seen up here all season" I tell him it's the Powder Maggots. He's like "I should have guessed, from all the BRO's, a friend of mine, Erica posts there."...:confused:
The series of Optimus prime pics and comments made me laugh and almost caused me to spit my tea out on my laptop.
Twins, thanks for the nice comments and great photos!
Weekend tally: Maggots-others ~ 4.

Fantastic weekend!
More like table for 50, methinks. That was a fun night.
Had a great time with everyone, and loving the pictures posted! Especially like McPoser's new avatar :)
I only caught up with the mini for approximately 5 minutes on Sunday afternoon, but mucho thanks to Optimus Prime for the PBR. Guess I got a little caught up with the sleeping in and the Dave's corn.
I was lagging this year with the photos, but I have a few shots to share from my POV, Ginny lakes, camp FKNA, top of Lincoln, many including the Dude yukking it up, I will throw them out there tomorrow at work...
I know there were some funny-ass shots being taken on Spats' and Sinecure's cameras at Roberos...many funky shots from cameras floating around the camp...and some scary shots again on Sinecure's camera at the hottub (Crabcooker) on Friday night...
Btw, it was great to meet all the new faces this year and hang out with all the old pals from past minis. This year was definitely a special one. Hope it builds into an ever better one next year.
And, Erica's presence was noticably missing, and her infectious smiles and laughs were duely missed.
peace,
D.
yeah...where you at Erica. I was asking everyone in sight where you were. :(

I think a great time was had by all. It was nice to put a few faces with names and showing a few around the hill. Looking forward to next year.
Good weekend, even if I was gimped up.
Nice seeing old faces and meeting new ones.
Mud and crutches don't mix.
Watching others mach down Stump Alley is pretty damn good motivation to make sure I'm back on the snow for next year's Mini.
FKNA, looks like a goooood time.
Can't believe I've only seen one picture of Splat at Maggot Beach :confused: surely there are more that are fit to print.
Twins, nice shot of the Captain at TTips :yourock:
Awesome to meet a whole bunch of you and to see some familiar faces. Like Duct Tape, watching people have fun fucking around on snow made me even more motivated to get strong and get back out there in the fall.
No action shots from this guy, but here's some gimptastic perspective on the 2008 Mammoth Mini.

Consider yourselves called out, internet skiing community: this is how you do it.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...r/IMG_3097.jpg
See? You don't need to ski to enjoy the Mini. EXTREME DRUNKEN OUTDOOR LAWYERING!
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...r/IMG_3072.jpg
Finally home, after spending an hour rambling around backroads looking for a hot spring = straight to the car wash.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...r/IMG_3107.jpg
All in all an awesome time- can't wait to ride some bikes, wet some lines, and make some turns with y'all soon.
Well it's not at Maggot Beach, but here is a potential caption contest classic:Quote:

I didn't get all the skiing I wanted, but I got enough to feel like it was a great weekend. I wanna go back for more. Vets??? Next weekend?
WOW! So many great pics, workin' my antiquated dialup overtime.
Had a blast, what a great weekend! I hit up the resort Fri & Sun, and brought up the rear bootstomping above Virginia Lakes on Sat. Fun times at FKNA, Bodhi successfully leading us through the dark of night to the Crab Cooker, and meeting/skiing with a bunch of maggots are memories that'll help me through the long hot summer. Special thanks to SchralphMacchio & Dookey for the rides. See ya all next year if not sooner!
FKNA, here is some Mammoth mini stoke.
FRIDAY
Hutash says, "Get ready for some STOKE!"
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2305/...85c094f556.jpg
The weather is quite nice these days.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2378/...84ff945b65.jpg
PowPig, DiveGirl, and Spats share some stoke with SchralphMacchio ...
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/...e8c4d2812f.jpg
... because they're pretty sure, this one goes!
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2292/...6e7179412f.jpg
Everyone is so happy, 100% organic corn is sooooo tasty - FKNA!

Maggoptimus Dookey approves of Friday's stoke.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2142/...598be83619.jpg
SATURDAY
And now, time for some backcountry stoke. Location: Gaylor Peak, Tioga Pass area.
renoenvy is stoked about checking something - someone? - out ...
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/...82f18cf126.jpg
... maybe it's because Schralph is showing some skin?
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2254/...b1dca26c21.jpg
McPoser gets jealous, tries to get some attention. I thought SchralphMacchio was the tofu eater - who's really soy at heart?
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3191/...548e4c6104.jpg
Punishment may not feel like stoke at first ...
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2077/...7d5e362719.jpg
... but when you turn around you see it's really nothing but pure stoke.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2169/...a493e600b8.jpg
And now, something completely different - MoMart stoke!
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2166/...d2d97001_b.jpg
SUNDAY
~V~ and BigKuba are so stoked about waking to another day at Ft. FKNA.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2164/...ac5eb41b63.jpg
Where's Waldo: somewhere in this junkshow is the bacon-infused vodka, bottled from the pure stoke that Mach Looney sweats while he skis. Time for bloody maries!
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3133/...9e5e460bd4.jpg
Too much bacon vodka stoke and you start thinking about magic carpet rides and other goodies.

Wandering, not lost, and squirrelmurphy feel the love too.

TO BE CONTINUED!!!
