movin back to AK

[The Dork]

well homies I know I never post anywhere anymore, but I am feeling a little social at the minute. Looks like I'm moving back to good ol Anchorage sometime this summer to go back to school. I'm broke and not sure how I can afford grad school here in Oregon so my Dad is talking me into moving home and going to UAA to get a Maters in Teaching. Living in AK won't be so bad I guess. I just wish all my friends and my boyfriend from here could move up there too. Am I a total loser for moving home to go to grad school? I hated UAA last time I went there, but when you broke, you broke!

Keep the boyfriend in Oregon and get another in Alaska. Living with your folks is in again.

[Odin]

I'd say congrats, but somehow I think you like it elsewhere. When broke though you must do what you have to do.

edit - Just noticed you said the summer. Disregard possible jinx comments of good season.

[The Dork]

at least if I live at home I can save money for a snowmachine and I can get on eof those fancy polaris outfits I see people rocking out at turnagain. Ah yeah it could be good to be a hick again.
I miss AK I'm just not sure I can handle the isolation from the rest of the world as I know it now. At least getting jobs in Anchorage is easier than here.

Yo bitch you tryin to roll wit me? 9-0-7 baby!

(note: Their last movie was actually pretty good, except that it should have been called Thompson Hardcore due to how many shots they had from there this year)

[bigAK]

i went to school with a lot of those kids, some were pretty cool. any skiing in this year's flick (they always promised some ski footage)?

[Rusty Nails]

Don't graduate schools give out student loans?

I thought you were considering this last year?

[ak_powder_monkey]

Alright a new addition to the ak maggot base

YES! Actually there were some decent lines in it.

Most of those guys are actually very cool.

[AKturnanburn]

How you doin' ?

C'mon guys don't bag on the twins those guys defenetly are'nt about the bling ( there little jib kid tagalong crowd might be though) have you seen the old rigs there pulling the $20K + worth of sleds they've got.

Ya my roomate got the only 10 seconds of twoplanker footie in last years flik.

and they did'nt even include the good stuff

[Odin]

Ahhh, no bagging on the twins here. I respect them getting their stuff ooot and aboot. Plus some of my friends either ride in their shows or in the Cold Smoke series.

BTW, did you happen to catch the showing of that new flick at the sitz by the kids who did two cents an acre?

Did it get put off? I was trying to catch it.

[AKturnanburn]

Jake and Abe are the guys that did that one. I missed it and I can't remember why I heard it was good...

hey Odin you gonna make it up tomorrow mang? I've got MD9's old green jacket with the white stripe through it, maybe we could actually get some turns together this time instead of the mad NF freshie rush, traverse, rock hammering, crazy, better get a line,insanity

BTW today was sweet, long traverses but some great lines to be had under moneys still. If the toes can hang another day...

... BRRRRRRRRR

Yes....... When will I be there............? I DON'T KNOW

At worst, night skiing. At best, mid afternoon. Possibility of being in-in town from Friday night to Saturday and Sunday as I might be squatting in aformentioned casa de girdweed.

You know my MO, Black Jacket, cargo pants, Three sticks of ptex in my pocket for the traverses, maxes and the north face.

BTW Nice traverse line out to that first cut into north face, I followed in over your carnage and proceeded to injure my bases although possibly it was the turns down over the rocks as I cut it short. OI VEY

Insanity didn't even begin to describe the tram lines.

[ak_powder_monkey]

any word on if they are gonna ever open up the holiday chutes?

[AKturnanburn]

holiday chutes, Ha Ha there completely tracked to shit (at least 6 to 8 lines done up) from the ski patrol um uh ya doing there job and get this they have been letting the tram operators up to poach it WTF is that if its safe than fucking open the fucking terrain. ya I'm a little put out by the infamous aly ski patrols ways (sorry pogue I know most of you are just doing your job but c'mon leave some of the goods to the passholders huh).

moneys looks so cherry pie right now I can't wait to tap those funds

BTW we're going to take our pieps up tomorrow and see if they'll let us "enjoy the holidays"

[The Dork]

the twins sebastion and giles???? I know those guys, i remember when they moved up to AK in their mini van with rachel in tow. Funny how everyone use to be into snowboarding and now they are all into their sleds. Turnagain Hardcore puts out some good flicks.

And yes I was considering moving to AK last year but didn't and now aI am even more serious about moving back for a bit. Yeah Grad schools offer student loans, but I would have to take enough for school and my rent and I am already 35K in debt from my undergrad so going way more indebt doesn't sound so appealing right now. We'll see. I miss AK there's just parts of the pacific Northwest I'd like to transport back up there with me.
