The Woodsy Send Off...WERD

[altagirl]

I thought I was avoiding it, but apparently I caught Craig's cold too. I'm bummed.

[Telephil]

I'm wearing my pink already today just waiting, waiting, waiting...

[teleee]

Other than Grizzle and Skiguide I havent actually met any other mags in person. I would like to put faces to the names that I waste my days with. Is it a party foul to show up at Woodsy's send off, not having actually met him, although I have laughed at his wit and admired his pinkess.
Can I get a ruling here?

[Buzzworthy]

Heading to Beaver mountain for the weekend but just want to wish you well woodsy and safe journeys.

Wave as you pass by, as I head the opposite direction.

You real man you.

[grizzle6]

Griz, when was that pic taken of Woodsy and the Bros??

Ohh....about an hour ago.

[Monique]

I hope the party's a great send off for the Woodsman. How long did it take to find a venue that was all ground floor, or are you just posting armed guards between Matt and the balcony?

Ok with invitation like that I am so there! Buzz, I'll be in a yellow Wyoming Hoodie, so if you see me wondering around lost, please gather me in.
Looking forward to meeting the mags.

[Buzzworthy]

Cool, that means he is having a good time. If those Bros are the demos from Twoplanker, they took me for a ride. They go thru anything.

[MacDaddy]

Speaking of real men.....


Eeeeeasy there boss.

thats kind of a short ski? No?


on another thought;

What if those skis changed Woodsie's mind and now he wont be able to leave?

will there still be a party tonight?

Look for the goofy looking bearded guy holding a beer.



Z, are we in the front area or the back to watch ski porn??

[meatdrink9]

meats of evil is definitely in. GT might be as well.

[Woodsy]

Speaking of real men.....

what you cvant tell from griz man's high speed photogramaphy is I was doing the bull dance smacking my ass with my gloves, feeling the flow.
bros are as advertised.
they rail.
almost my stockli's; almost, but less damp and waaaay lighter.
if you can only have one ski out west, these with FRs are it, groomers, shaded pow today, breakable and non breakable sun crust, you name it.
tamed it all.
they doth rip.
little hooky @ times though.

[Lumpy]

you dont have to swallow if you dont want to!

Hell is freezing over...

See you mooks tonight!

[Woodsy]

So glad you're still coming out here in March!

total sneak attack!
I called Monique after I told my girlfriend in NYC my "internet friends" were throwing me a bon voyage party.
The GF said, "well tell them I am good to you, I dont want to oil wrestle anyone but you"
I told her those two ( kate and monique) would not be there.
I called Monique to tell her about the funny convo and she laughed and said she wished she was here and acted suprised when I told her Buster and Natty were coming.....
and then she showed up at my door pre party!
great sendoff, splat came, all my utarded friends,
MD9 still buzzing from the huck, loads of good times and good people.
well off to altaa, see you there.

[truth]

What a good night and we hope Woodsy has a great time in NYC, we will miss you so much!

[Woodsy]

great nice, thanks to all who came, esecially the out of town visitors.
never underestimate Monique or Buster's sneakiness......

and thank=s even more to the great crew, some borrowed from the Squad and stuff, that led to Alta on Sat.
windy, no new snow, awesome.
rode only Collins and skiied some gret shots, from 3rds in the Am with stum and crew to the final sketchy super high eddies with the mixed nut grouping.
great day great people.

Thanks.

[shmerham]

Sorry I couldn't make the party, but I'm glad I got to ski with you saturday. I get the feeling from hanging out with you and the rest of the Utarded crew that Utah won't be the same.

Now could you get to NYC already?! I'm walkin' here!

[bad_roo]

Natty looks concerned that Lynx is tickling his breasts with her plaits.

[Woodsy]

No seriously dood, chicks love the hair.....

[phUnk]

Looked for you Sunday but it was not to be. Farewell, sweet prince...

Actually the whole phone call thing was a little uncanny from my point of view. My flight landed a couple of hours before the party and I was planning to arrive at Woodsy's condo with Natty/Buster, but they were still up in the canyon so I grabbed a bite at the restaurant in the same building as the condo. My phone rang, I checked the display, and it was Woodsy. My first impulse was to look around guiltily, like he was there in the restaurant somewhere and I'd been caught. My second and most comical impulse was that I should somehow mute the background noise, as if he would be able to tell by the restaurant sounds that I was in Utah. Go figure. Anyway, slowly my brain caught up to the fact that his call was coincidental, and when he gave me shit about not making the party I made some noises about client responsibilities (without actually lying) and then the call dropped. About 15 minutes later I buzzed into his condo claiming "a delivery for Matt D." When he opened the door I said something about how much it pissed me off when he didn't call back after a dropped call and I had to track him down. My only regret is not getting footage of all the expressions that crossed Woodsy's face in that first 15 seconds.

It was great to meet so many Utards and to hang at Alta for a couple of days, getting a mini tour of some "classic" Alta lines such as High Eddie's Lonely Ol' Nowhere Man Hole in the Lone Pine Wall of Wind Scoured Rock That Doesn't Scare Ten Year Olds (or something like that). Next time I plan to ARRIVE--not leave--on a pow day.

Matt--so glad I could be there for your sending off. Ron--where are your pics?

[skifishbum]

Sorry I didn't make it to your send off party. Once again my skiing addiction interfered with my party life.
The Owners/Management, entire staff and most of all alot of guests (we don't call em tourons here ) of a soulfull resort will miss you. Best of luck in your new endevour.
ps change your side bevels to 3 degrees oh yeah and I really want that eye patch
