Turns out the 2nd will be better for me. See you guys then. I can bring a grill and some hot dogs/sausages for grilling.

I will try to make it this sunday but no guarantees. The 2nd is looking pretty good.

I'll be up this weekend. I'll be drunk and smokin weed in line, and generally being obnoxious so you shouldn't miss me. Big dude with long hair on a homebuilt board. Prolly be wearing my black and red striped sessions. Always have a small black helmet on. I'm drunk right now and building so I prolly won't be up till the afternoon tomorrow, but I'll be there all day sunday, and definitely on the 2nd.

Let's make this happen on the 2nd for sure! The snowboardseattle crew will be up there for their end of season BBQ, so come join the fun. I'm bringing a grill and food and there'll be plenty to go around. I'd love to sit and chat with you guys about building. I'll bring a few recent boards for show and tell, and maybe an in-progress core or two if anyone is interested.

I'll be bringing a generator, waxing iron, wax, homemade onion dip (bunches of it), and Whiskey.

Oh, and a section of edge for bending by hand show and tell, if anyone is interested.

Mike, you have to show off your cores. Works of art.

I'll be getting up there a little before 9am. I plan to ride for a little bit, then hang out in the lot looking for people. Hope to fire up the grill around noonish. We'll be in lot 4... look for the truck with a grill strapped to the top of it.

Me and Kevin bitched out because it looked to rainy up there :(

Then we decided it was going to be worse on Sunday so we didn't go then either.... and of course it turned out to be totally sunny that day.

We'll be up for a few runs tomorrow morning though, before it gets super crowded.

Yea, turnout was weak, both from sb.com and ss.com. Kelvin and I were the only ones from here... we had a good time chatting about building and whatnot. He brought up a whole bunch of extra material he was willing to pass out, and I brought up a groovy prototype core for show-and-tell. Too bad we missed you guys... always fun to chat with others about building.

Bummer. Next season hopefully we'll get a better day when conditions are better.

Today it was actually dumping at the top of alpy, with a few inches of new snow even! Wasn't the best snow ever, but it wasn't complete shit either! I only skied for a couple of hours, but it was great and the upper mountain was deserted!

I was busy being extremely hungover. Sunshine would have cured it. Rain made it worse.

Looking forward to next year.

Heard the prototype core was pretty nice.
