Fun times for all. It was a blast skiing with the Maggots. I went on the DL while skiing with the Mags. I came off the DL skiing with the Mags.
I look forward to seeing more pics as the days progress.

Non maggot J
(It's J.J.) OK, I'm no longer a "non-maggot", with my offical first post here. It was great seeing some of you guys again that I met last year, and it was nice meeting some of you for the first time and getting some turns with all y'all.
BTW, that's my hand on Yoga's ass, so I guess I've been on the board for a year now, in at least one form. And after the photo shoot with Splat, I've think Yoga should change her name to "Reverse Cowgirl".
Hey YC,
Nice muffication of Splat!
Well, if you look closely, I think you'll see a member of the Z-Team doing some back-seat screeching as a result of a massive half-foot huck. I believe the shot captures the moment just before a series of linked quasi-recoveries that eventually resulted in a minor explosion and a lost pole. Can't win 'em all.Quote:

Short version: Good times once again.
Sick and ashamed and happy (and thanking the drivers, the condo-mates, and the local guides for really making this happen),

I am so fucking bummed that I was unable to make it. Next year....
Just downloaded some more pics from Friday. Looks like things started getting a little more out of control after I left.

RidgeHippy wins the "biggest grin" award for the day. I wish I had a pick of him when he took a different line down and came through a corn filled bowl with about 10 Maggots at the bottom cheering him on. Classic stuff.

I was honoured to show a few of the maggots around our little anthill in the Sierra this past weekend...plus be able to give a few others some quality entertainment at my expense:
1. My cave-in atop P2
2. Still hear Spats laughing his ass off 700 ft above me after I ass-polished and shammed the middle of a wee-bit firm Hangman's...
3. Just Let D go first...
Really overwhelming to have met so many new faces during the Mini: Gincognito, bklynTrayc, Splat, Spats, Schuss, Viva, Shin-to-Win, Big Tim, Geoff, P McPoser, Ridgehippy, Ghee pup, Tyrone, 666, Monique, Legoskier, Divegirl, Bob, Girlskier, J.J., erica z, Twins (and his SO), Kellie, Tuffy109, Squirrel, GoneHucking, Arty50, Ubersheist...(sorry if I forgot anyone, there was a shitload present)
And good to do some pack riding with old friends...
peace,
D.
ps--If anyone wants the full-sized copies (2 mb) of any of the photos, just pm me an address and (I will burn them on a cd or email them)...I also have about 50 more pictures I took as well...
Damn, I got around.
heh..holy shit...ok now there are 2 horrible photos of me in here. cant say i even remember the popeye photo getting taken...way to jinx me MTT! :D
hAHAHAHAHA!!!! Great shots, it sure does suck being back at work :cussing:
This thread rules. Fun times.
Wish I could have been there.
Which would explain the grin... :fmicon:Quote:

GoneHuckin for being super cool
Schuss for amazing me with his off-the-cuff captions (he even captions stuff live, when he talks!)
Gincognito for traveling the furthest
Tracy for being superduper cool and her skiing abilities with a huge camera
All the Mammoth Board regulars (Bodhi, Joey, Tarkman, Gebster) for showing the maggots our little mountain
Tuffy for showing up
Telefunken for, once again, making the pics that much...um..more
TWINS and his wife are fantastic
GheePup for rad pictures
My new maggette friends, Grlski, Monique and Erica
The PNW and Tahoe crew for tearing it up
And every single maggot and non-maggot who made this one of the most fun weekends I've ever had - on or off the hill. Every person there was awesome.
And finally - to the guy who asked me if I was sitting on his lunch. That got more mileage than any other pick-up line I've ever heard. And to learn that everyone was singing songs with the word "love" in it, and replacing it with "lunch" - well, that really warms my heart :)
HUGE MEGA UBER PROPS to you for plotting and executing another great Mini:yourock: :yourock: :yourock:Quote:

I felt like a dick just bailing like that, but it's not often that Kellie is around these parts to ski with the old crew. ;)
Okay, here you go. Of course, it's hard not to look good when you're between Girlski and Kellie, eh?Quote:

We are still waiting for that warm, weekend, bluebird day up at Abasin.
And there are many, many more pix. So many to choose from. The Mammoth Point Condo Crew spent mucho time determining which would make the final cut (Splat, you lucky boy, that one image of a snowball headed right into your poopenhosen...)
I really, really, really, like this picture (l-r Gincognito, TWINS, Bodhi, Spats):
and I'm really, really, really, fascinated by this one:
Wrong! A Nissan 300ZX is a damn fine piece of automotive machinery, but looks like an utter piece of sh!t when parked between a Ferrarri 612 Scaglietti and a Lamborghini Gallardo. Total POS. Sorry, Ty.Quote:

It's always great to put faces on he names. Good times "posse" skiing. I wish I was able to participate more in the drinking (probably better at drinking than skiing anyways). But at least I was there for this.......

Thanks Yoga, thanks to all,
BT
seems I have my calendar shot, finally :rolleyes:
A little Maggette-on-Maggette action is always appreciated.
^^^^^^That guy in the background looks PISSED. If he only he knew what he was missing, he'd be a happy guy.
It put the lotion on my skin.
Shout out to everyone who showed up.
Fukkin rocked.
I think he knows what he's missing and that's why he's pissed. :biggrin:Quote:
