2 spots open for nominations in Maggot camp

A Maggot who chooses to remain anonymous(that's a tough secret to keep) has come forward with yet another sponsorship. So there are 2 spots available for nomination.

The anonymous Maggot is thinking that his ideal choice is someone who is a pretty good skier but could really benefit from the technical instruction as well as the backcountry instruction. He mentioned someone who has a major passion for skiing and maybe hasn't been doing it for that long(6 years or so).

Also, they should have a financial need, in other words a po bastard. Also, they need to have the time and funds(lift tickets, etc.) to be able to make it happen.


Here is the original thread where the nominees below were nominated:

http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=21055


Nominated so far are:

Meats of Evil
Treskow
Mr. AG
DTM
White Chocolate
Bdog
AKPM
Kristen
Skier 0178
Hardrider
SheRa
Frozenwater

frozenwater, the guy is living the dream, give him the skills to kill it in the dream

Meats gets my other vote. Kid needs to get his skiing priorities in order. No way he could afford to do this on his own either.

I would say Hardrider meets most of those criteria
He is def. a poor basterd
Time off shouldn't be a problem, since his hours have been severely cut back
Money for lift tickets, I'm sure he could scrounge it up
As far as I know he doesn't know much on anything about digging pits and such in the BC

there ya have it

2nd vote, frozen or meat's

edited for basom :D

Kinda hard to pick from that list. People on the list who can't make it should say so pronto, at least that would narrow it down.

Iceman read my mind.

I feel violated.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and more drinking is needed),
d.

nicely done

I gotta toss in a vote for the Hardriding one as well.

First of all, he's from Pennsylvania, and we all know that people from flatland states like Penna and Michigan ;) are doomed to suck without some form of help.

Secondly, he's keeping it real. He worked insanely long hours over the summer two seasons ago in PA to move west. And now his reward for all that hard work is skiing as much as possible and living in a $450 dollar trailer. He drinks PBR whenever humanly possible and likes it.

Thirdly, he's a backcountry / snow science moron. 'nuff said.

Fourthly, he's got time. Does he even have a job now?

Fifthly, he's go a funny accent.

Sixthly, I just want to add "sixthly" because I don't think I've ever used this word before.

But seriously, HR is a rippin skier, good peoples, wouldn't take anything like this camp for granted, and could learn a lot and put that knowledge to use.

EDIT: And just need to add....Gordy -> You are the MANG for doing all of this. And all the maggots who are sponsoring others for this (I can't even keep track of them all!) are just amazing. You guys all rule.

I, too, nominate Hardrider. A hardworkin, hard-charging ripper who moved out West to become a permanent fixture at Kirkweed. He works oddjobs, such as making football-shaped pizzas and often barters his time and labor as lph's manservant ;) to afford necessities such as skis.

Always fun to hang around, sometimes scary to follow, with a penchant for setting off inbounds slides, hucking to flat landings, and attracting the sexual attention of 30-something year old cougars, Hardrider provides a lot of entertainment to his peers with his on-hill and off-hill antics

:D

Bump...hardrider, can you get there by Friday? Frozen, can you get the time off and get there? Let's hear from you guys.

Bump for Shera nomination cause I think she's already headin that way.

Mr.AG will be around and has a pass.

Mr. AG ain't going to no stinkin' camp; he's gotta be there with me and poho to bring the PAIN TRAIN on those suckas on the High T :biggrin:

Can Powho even make it across the High T on those Spatulas now?

Main reason I was thinking about when the camp possibly conicided with the MINI when all were making that decision. That would not be good for Str8's business. Would not want to interrupt the learning for those that are getting to experience this adventure of a lifetime.

I'm flattered, but I can't make it.

Mr. AG is totally deserving. He definitely reps Alta! Treskow and Kristen are also worthy candidates, but they'd have to fight amongst themselves for who gets to go...

Flip a coin between Treskow and Mr.AG

Did we ever figure out if Meats could make it? We may not need to flip a coin.


Oh, and MacDaddy, your "AFC West #1" tagline is just silly.

Pats all the way.

I'll toss a vote in for Mr AG. I've had a great time with Mr and Mrs Alta on my last 2 trips to Utah. They really took the time to show me what Alta is all about and are definately deserving of something like this.

HR wont be able to respond for another few hours since he is currently at kirkwood skiing.........

I'll add another broke bastard who could benefit from the camp- Karma. I know him from Crystal and competing. He hasn't been skiing for long but is super devoted to getting better. He was patrolling at Crystal for 2 years- so yeah, maybe he has some bc skills but he has had very little formal teaching and instruction. He has pretty much taught himself well enough to make patrol but could totally benefit from coaching from the likes of Nobis. Not to mention that the kid has been out of work since october and unless it starts to snow here (ok it is snowing, but we have a warming trend potentially rearing it's ugly head) he won't be working for awhile.

I'm voting for hardrider because he's a bigger jerk than me. Plus, his pants are red. He lives in a trailer, drinks PBR, and likes Wild Turkey. I'm pretty sure he repaired his car using Gaffer's Tape and some Shoe-Goo. Finally, he left East PA and could have moved to any ski resort out there but somehow ended up at Kirkwood. I mean seriously, what's not to like about this guy. The man deserves... no... NEEDS to go to Rock Star Camp.

I'm tossing in a vote for Mr. Altagirl and a vote for Meats. Meats is hungry and Mr. Altagirl needs the skillz to keep up with Altagirl. :wink:

I'm de-nominating WC after he decided it was necessary to tell the world I was having indigestion.

WC should not get the free spot on the Str8line camp because:
1. He's a douchebag :fuckyou:
2. He hasn't had successful contact with a woman since March. :FIREdevil

I VOTE FOR HARDRIDER!!!

yes I can totally get there by friday. This would be insane.

I would like to add a very enthusiastic vote for hardrider as well.

This guy is right on the cusp of being a very very good skier, a little instruction, some tips and he could be killing it in no time.

He hasn't got 2 nickels to rub together.

He is living the life of a dirtbag skier, he has an antique trailer that he can't heat, he sleeps on couches, drives a car that cost him $180, and he still has about the best outlook towards life and skiing of anyone I know. I can't think of a nicer more upbeat person to be around; both on and off the slopes.

I spoke to him about the camp today and he would be honored to be chosen and he would love to go. He will find a way to get there without a doubt. If he is chosen as one of the lucky ones who gets to go, I will personally make sure he gets there. If I need to buy him a plane ticket or get him lift tickets I will.

If hardrider gets the nod, he'll also get the SW tickets, but the decision will need to be made soon.

hardrider better get the nod.

Nater will donate the airplane ticket, i will buy him the lift tickets he needs.

I have a Southwest Reward ticket that expires 12/31. I don't see myself using it before then. I'll gladly give it to pizza boy.

Edit: I talk on the phone for a few minutes and he already has free flights I can donate the tickets to someone else too.

Here's a post by Meats from the other thread.......


Thanks every one who voted for me. But I can’t make it. This is a kicks ass thread, props to all who have made this happen. Once again thanks to you all.

Meats


So who's going to the Camp? I vote Hardrider & Mr AG. :biggrin:

Polling results as of 6:40pm PST

Meats of Evil: 3 (can't make it)
Treskow: 1
Mr. AG: 5
DTM: flattered but can't make it
White Chocolate: -1 from hop ;)
Bdog
AKPM
Kristen
Skier 0178
Hardrider: 8
SheRa: 1
Frozenwater: 2
Karma: 1

Load the bitch in a slingshot and send him. I'll swing my vote to hardrider based on the donation situation compiled on his behalf. Everything will come together for him if you throw him the nod, Gordy.

Cool, Hardrider sounds great. One opening left...

Seattle to Alta by Friday... I can make that, I to would be honored to go. It's an honor just to be nominated, thanks Girlski.

Karl Stall

p.s. hooray for hardrider; cool kid that will have a blast

The only two people I know on the list are Tresckow and Kristen, but I know for certain that they are both worthy. Great skiers and great people who live the life, make the sacrifices and are fun to ski with. How about a belated wedding present? (Kristen still has to be one of the rippenest Maggets around)
