Let the insanity begin. After day one, our group is collectively down $4k. Craps is a mother fucker, but free drinks were definitely worth it. My first time as a shooter, 5 on button, friend puts $1000 on the pass line, next roll is a six / one. My bad. Dinner, amazing...even Justin's palette was pleased. Manhattan and white russians, followed by bread with custom butters (cranberry and pesto), appetizers of oysters, bison carpacio and seared tuna. Lobster bisque and crab cakes for the pre dinner, elk chops, roasted duck, sea bass, fillet and lobster for the main meal. 8" of fresh powder this morning. Times up let's do this - LEROY JENKINS
negative...friends do. Fucking mid 20's poker players. To them, and I quote, "anything under $1000 is free." Therefore, they'll throw down $980 repeatedly. Pics of the slopes coming soon, only 830 out here, but we'll keep everybody posted. HUGE thanks to Doug @ TopSpeed for helping us cross snowboarding / wakeboarding off our list.
you guys are certifiably crazy... that water was freezing... and I can deal with cold water but it has to be atleast 80 outside not sub 40's
sickest day on the mountain i've ever seen. Dropped 8" last night, every run for the first four hours was a dream of powder. I'll get more pictures up soon, but the go pro battery died pretty early.
Dinner tonight is not for the faint...best sushi ever. Also took out a couple bottles of shit sake... I present you, the before: After: Also discovered an awesome game, assuming you have lady luck on your side. Credit card roulette...throw that shit in a pot, waitress pics the loser. How else can you enjoy $500 in sushi for free.
oh, also, went to the grocery store...know how jesus doesn't give two shits about California? Show me some bible thumpers that would allow that in your local Kroger
It's tuesday mid march...what do expect? Also, we were teh 6th lift up...hard to do when you've consumed half the bourbon brewery the night before.
that we did, check it off the list Justin had a new goal, though...wakeboard using a snowboard, snowboard using a wakeboard - in the same day challenge acceptied
I can't snowboard worth a crap.....tried it and kept falling. Since I was at snowshoe at the time and only there for 2 days, I didn't wanna waste time learning and switched back to skis. I'll learn one day....and bust my tail again.
which hill are you at? i spent 8 days in heavenly several years ago. snowed around 12 feet over that period of time.. the wind would blow some days and they'd stop the lefts to the top of the mountain. the snow is 'wet' unlike snow in colorado or utah. it would snow 2 feet and by lunch every trail regardless of whether it was groomed or not was all bumped up. ive been to most of the major hills west of the mississippi, including 10 days at whistler/blackomb. but tahoe got more snow than any place i've ever been. salt lake comes close though.
they are at heavenly IIRC I heard that the winds were so bad yesterday a lot of lifts were closed, and they were swinging from 4:00 to 8:00 as they went up
