Who is our Maggot elder?

[skiaholik]

x2 on the hearting thread part. I only hope I still rip as hard as some of the more "senior" mags on this board when I get to that age.

[GoldMember]

I heard Goldmember used to babysit for McCain...

Wha????........ Searching for something and I came across this that I hadn't seen before. I mean yeah, I'm old and all that but WTF? That really hurts to the quick.

[Danno]

old and narcissistic, apparently, because I bet you were searching on your name.

[crowvt]

I recall skiing at Mansfield when their were only two lifts the T-bar and the single chair $.25 a ride and the seven turns on the Nose Dive,
Marble Mountain, before it became Whiteface, and there were many areas that provided great fun that are now only memories. Now if I could only find my car keys.

Old, yes. Narcissistic, not so much. I was looking for one of the poli-ass threads I had been involved with but couldn't remember which one, hence the old and forgetful part.

Shit... I'm dying... I forgot I wrote that! Sorry, man... I'm probably as old as you are. Certified AARP eligable. (Barely, though.) I meant that as a total joke.... I'm buying the prune punch if we ever meet, okay?

I learned to ski at Kelly Canyon when a PBJ and a lift ticket was $1.50. Did I date myself?

The Guy who owns and runs Mt. Baker ski area with his family. He wins hands down in my book.

I still remember Nov. 28, 2006 at Mt. Baker. To use the lifts you were required to have a beacon, probe, shovel, and a friend that also knew how to use them. Or you could not use the lifts because Gwen his daughter told us "they is no way we can help rescue you on a day like today, have fun you're on your own". And then they let us up the lifts on a scary deep day after a massive storm cycle.

Whoa. People kid me about being old (or maybe they're not kidding), but that's way before my time. I'm guessing you must be gaining on 70?

[Fathead]

I think this guy JER has gotta be 50 from looking at his pic. Looks like one of the wrinkled phuckers from Iron Maiden. Acts about 13 though.

[thefrush]

^^ What show was that from and who is the dude on the drums and why is Nicko playing tambourine?

Hey, now.....no numbers unless it's relates to how to score a ski lease with 6 hot chicks and still afford to ski on a social security check.

No worries. I'm a couple years past AARP eligible but would not concede to them just yet. Prune punch? Only if they make it taste like a micro somehow...

I see you have not yet met our very own mayor of tech talk - Pechelman.

According to his affirmation and other testimony, Pechelman turned 128 last tuesday. This information may or may not be exact however, as the only record of his birth was one which was written into his family bible. A non-combat veteran, he was two months into training when World War I ended on 11 November 1918. Pechelman has repeatedly apologized for still being alive, but claiming "pWning JONGs on the Teton Gravity Research message board" (a site on the internets) that keeps him young and vibrant. Few people are aware that Pechelman was actually the mastermind behind the development of the 'interweb" back in the early 1940's, but his operation was halted by the U.S. government when they needed the gold used for the circuitry to instead go towards the war effort. This "interweb" was later *cough* re-invented and brought into mainstream use by Albert Gore, former Vice President of The United States and inventor of global warming, in 1988. Pechelman's penchant for tinkering started long before this feeble computer advent, though. As a young man growing up in Ohio, he was responsible for drawing the blueprints for the construction of the world's first flying machine under the oversight of his longtime childhood friends, Orville And Wilbur Wright. Below is the only known photograph of Pechelman:

Had to bump that shit..........

Okay... beers it is. Glad to have some "contemporary company" here!

I remember that and several other days like that too.
Actually, Duncan Howatt doesn't own Baker, Mills Electric does. He is the general manager though and Gwynn and Amy are deeply involved as well.


As far as old goes, I wasn't born until the very end of the 1940s so I'm not all that old. (Try telling my back, knees and memory that. What?)

Correction to the correction -- The Mount Baker ski area is owned by the stockholders of the Mount Baker Recreation Company, formed in 1951. The stockholders elect a Board of Directors who hire the manager. Howard Mills is one major stockholder, and he donates office space to the MBRC in the Mills Electric Buillding in Bellingham.

That said, Duncan has run the place for so long that the board pretty well goes along with anything he wants to do.

Hats off to Duncan, Gwynn, and Amy you guys rock!!

I was at Camp K2 last year and that was also great. I especially liked that everyone drank too much the first night and very few people made the first lift the next morning. It was the best conditions I ever had at baker, Gables all to myself... Then out to the better stuff after that... It is still a great memory.
