An oxymoronic event: Mammoth Mini

[yogachik]

Tuffy, I'll take you to a great beginner class in your neighborhood.

Bump.

[tuffy109]

not the biggest fan. i only did it in the city as the exercise options can get kinda slim. surfing and mountain biking are doing me in at the moment.

Hate to barge in on page seven in the middle of yoga class and ask this, but ...................when is this oxymoronic event supposed to take place?

I hate to miss anything maggoty..........any Tahoe mags going?

It's next weekend - May 7-8. I should be there, given that my new work will give me an advance on my paycheck. I think Divegirl, Telenater and I will be carpooling. I'll give you a holler if you need/want to carpool and I'm sure we can work something out.

[divegirl]

Splat - yes, we're all going. Nater, myself, Uber, and possibly Spats I think. You need to attend, mang!!! Won't be the same without you!!

Ok, moral dilemma - my brother and his girlfriend just got engaged this past Sunday (YAY - SO excited!). Their engagement party is on Friday night, May 7th, in San Jose. Would it be rude of me to skip the party due to my Mammoth Mini plans? I'm going to be pretty involved in the wedding plans for next year...so do you think missing the engagement party would be in Martha Stewart's book of no-nos?? Help, WWMD? If it matters, this doesn't include familly...it's just a casual friends thing.

Ok, outta here, can't wait to ski tomorrow!!

[splat]

Go skiing - anything could happen in the next year........except skiing. (Global warming and all, ya know)

[yogachik]

If it's a casual friends thing, just tell them that you already had a trip planned. They'll understand. And you won't lose points.

One week away. What's the story with the condo? Where are we getting drunk? Will Punani break dance again?

dude, that pic is from when Punani went to Mexico and thought he'd found the spot where mbs puked.

[Arty50]

Bwhahahahahahaha!!!! Sadly, that's not the case. Here you see yours truly helping Pu finish the pitcher. In the background we have some Mammy eye candy leaving the Laka Nuki.

Bumping because discussions on the hill today peaked my interest for one more Summit. Word is a film crew will document the whole event for a new pilot that combines all the cheesy suspense elements of Survivor, Fear Factor, and Extreme Dating.

Oh fuck, a film crew? I better get a haircut.

Met 13 tonight, what a great guy.

A post skiing bump. I forgot how much fun corn is.

Yoga--Any word on the condo? Inquiring minds want to know.

I dropped the ball on the condo because no one ever contacted me to book it with any real seriousness and I didn't want to get stuck with the tab. There are so many condos available this time of year that are reasonably priced. I can lead you guys in the right direction, if interested.

Wuss. Ain't you an out of work ski bum this season? That should be how you poor-ass types bathe. What's wrong with you???

Actually, I shouldn't be hassling you about being a poor ass ski bum. I'm so broke right now that I'm not sure I can go...

[CS]

Well, since it's this weekend, I guess I should chime in as well. Anybody leaving from SoCal Friday and coming back Sunday want to get together for the drive? And, has there been a camping spot estabilshed?

It's been nearly 2 months since I've been on skis. Can't. Freaking. Wait.

[splat]

Lookin better all the time......Bullet, are you gonna be there?

[divegirl]

I'd like to propose a mad, MAD steeze day at Mammoth for one of the days this coming weekend at the mini. Anyone FEELIN' IT?! I'd like to propose Saturday to be the day of the steeze. C'mon, let's celebrate the real beginning of spring snow!!

Oh, yeah, I don't know where we'll be camping....but I hear the deli-shop at the bottom of Tioga pass is a good meeting point on Friday night. Say, 9:30-10pm-ish?? Anyone with me here? YAY - can't wait!!!

CS, I'm in woodland hills and looking for a car pool, though I'm lacking the required gear to go camping. Can someone who has some free time look into the condo or hotel room? Please? If this falls through, I guess I'll be begging for tent space and using my shitty sleeping bag.

I believe there's at least 3 of us who are seriously interested in a soild roof over our heads and others waiting for something to come together. Those three:

Myself
Yogachick
Arty50
Splat?
Antisocal?
Buller?
