    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! As a painter (second in the running for worst kind of dumbass), I try to keep my nominal drywall skills a highly guarded secret. At least you get a lot of powder days sanding JC. Good trip even if it wasn't legendary. I guess you will just have to go back.
    Chocolate? This is doodoo, BABY!

    Now wait just a second- I put drywall above painting. (And insulating and roofing) At least I'm not dumb enough to do it year-round- winter is for skiing, not working

    Bump for Adam- down in LDS with a broken femur. I fondly recall him "taking one for the team" in AK- that was me he was gesturing at with the steak knife- it doesn't show that the knife was 2" from my eye most of the time.

    That is me in green next to Goldenboy after the heli "mechanical".

    Oh and it was me that was slid a couple hundred feet.

    Maybe I was born to ski lift served only.

    If I come off as smug or self-rightous or arrogant, well, it's because this is the internet and you haven't seen me ski. - Highway Star RIP

    Wow... I recognize the trailer and environs; we skiied with the same outfit in April 2005. We lucked out with great weather & deep pow five out of the seven days we were there.

    We flew in an A-Star; where did they dig up that ole thingy they put you in? Did it have to do with you renting a private chopper?

    Glad nobody got hurt.

    The heli company that leased to ABA promised them an A-star, just like we were promised. In retrospect, we should have screamed bloody murder about that situation.

    Update on Adam: Today was much better, his heart rate and temp were both elevated but are now getting closer to normal, so there is a lot of hope that he turned the corner Keep sending positive vibes his way
