Spats finds a slot...
Puts a quarter in...
Presses 1-player...
...and gets high score!
Telefunken (JJ) makes a nice carve in BALLS...
...and he gets lower down into Mammoth's Balls.
But Ty really wanted to feel the Balls as well....
In which Mrs. 666 couldn't resist to get into the center of Balls...
However, Bobby gives Balls a severe cut...
Arty50 to rescue Balls from severe trauma...
...by cutting down the left side of the Balls.
Squirrel rips up the sloppy seconds...under Balls.
which increases his appetite for CORN!
Mrs. 666 said she put a Gatorade in a snowbank....found it!
Chutey chutes off of 395 going North to Tahoe...
Gotta love the freshly laid lane markings....SICK!
And remember, gas is always cheap in Bridgeport, so try to arrive with an empty tank.

Nice TR 666....what a damn fun weekend.
*note to all travelers going South on 395. Don't go 95 mph on the straight away just before Bridgeport. If you do, have your license in hand...leave your registration card at home....and they'll let you goTy reaches 95 mph but talks his way out of the ticket....

HEY! I was a "participant," I swear it! Thanks to everyone for a fantastic corn skiing, road tripping, hot tubbing, pizza flipping, cake eating, Mo Marting weekend on an incredible hill. The PNW has stayed winter all spring, so it was great finally to get in two perfect days of sliding on snow under the sun. And it was snowing again at home yesterday morning!
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.

Ok, finally got a chance to wade through the load of pics I took.
But first a big thanks to Monique for setting up the place to stay, for the cool peeps at the condo, and I can't leave out a big thanks to Girlski for the upside-down meat pizza puree.
Now, in no particular order, the corn harvest:
The rock stars line up above P4, then above Phillipes.
Annnnnnd Dropping!
Kellie, tarkman, and Girlski ripping Phillipes:
All I can say is "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!"
