Lakeshore looking toward Westshore...

Shugs and Pimpin Frog performing the GHOST RIDE!!!!!

We run over to Thunder Bowl to find Craig Gabriel and TeleRob following us to the summit. I tell them to roll the chute...when we met up at the bottom, they had no regrets. Mr. Gabriel on the ridge to the Chute:

Slim rides the untracked below the summit...

Doesn't look too bad...

The sun pops out for about 5 mins and Mrs. 666 grabs some POWDER!

The woman in the pink pants steals some untracked...

Ghost ridin' the pow pow...

My V-tree line...thank god we had sun for the run....

The G out at the bottom looks pretty gnar. Did that take much soaking up to get thru? Looks like you'd get slammed into the sudden, relatively flatter slope at the bottom of that slot, no?

**hucksquaw** · 04-12-2006, 12:16 AM

I think I was actually in the air until I was inbetween the two rocks at the bottom......... The only thing we were all worried about was hitting the 4 foot wall of rock sticking up at the bottom on skiers right...(kind of headed towards it from the time you drop in)

nice TR dawg!

**bigtrubs** · 04-12-2006, 01:00 AM

I love seeing the lady out shred the guys x 900.

**Arty50** · 04-12-2006, 01:14 AM

That's the shit right there. Kush's line es muy burly. I looked at it earlier in the day and it just looked like an air to me. So I backed out since the lz had already been schalped by all the gapers hitting Once. Straighline...you gotta be crazy. So I told Kush about it and he hit it proper. I say god damn!

Sick pics once again Mr. 666. I have to get OB before they close. I haven't hit WS or TB at all this year. Shameful.

**majortom** · 04-12-2006, 02:19 AM

Sick TR as always... way to bring the stoke to those stuck at their desks

**flanker769** · 04-12-2006, 07:35 AM

FCKNA! Great TR! Sick line Kush!
Just the stoke that I needed this morning as it's raining again and looks like it will be through our closing weekend up here at Fernie.
Keep slaying that Cali goodness!

**Dromond** · 04-12-2006, 07:44 AM

Is it me or are people in tahoe always having way, way to much fun for their own good? That's the impression I get from your TRs anyways.

**Sutter** · 04-12-2006, 07:53 AM

that TR was almost as rad as Mrs. 666's pink pants

**basom** · 04-12-2006, 07:56 AM

you made too many turns in v tree.

**Mofro261** · 04-12-2006, 08:16 AM

On a scale from 1 to 10 this TR rates a 666

**A-wreck** · 04-12-2006, 08:56 AM

I just wanted to post in the thread with 'ghost ride yo whip' in the title.

Yea, California sucks, we should all move to Nevada. Imagine not having to waste energy watching the scenery change or adjusting your heater / A.C. on your sub 3 hour drive back to a real City.
