Mes 5

[trent]

That's right, we're doing it again! Come out and carve with us, and start using up your sick days. Yep, sick days. We're doing this on a weekday. More room, and more courd for us. Start planning now.

Last year we had 25 carvers, a limbo contest, and at least one pissed off skiier who was heard saying "YOU'RE WRECKING THE RUNS!". :biggthump

When: Wednesday, Jan 16th, 2008
Where: Welch Village www.welchvillage.com
Time: 10am - ?
Cost: $43 for an all day ticket, plus any food or beverages (if we have 15+ people, we can get a group rate of $21)
Who: Anyone you know who likes to dig trenches / skip work.

Let's meet at 10 by the double chair off the Main Chalet and take some runs down the front hills while waiting for the late sleepers / long commuters (Tyrol crew in da house!).

See you on the hill!

[thebionicman]

I'm in. I'll be flying back from Florida the night before.

[MUD]

I'm in.

[kirtap]

I've missed out every year because of high school, but thought maybe this year with my long break I would make it. But nope, I go back to school on the 12th...so close. HA

[bobble]

if i'm in town i'll be there.

[Speedzilla]

Planning on it! :D

[Scuff]

Will be there.

[johnstewart]

I'm there.

[Nicotine]

Sounds like a plan!

[Bubba]

Pending manager's approval and hopefully no injuries, I will be there.

[Speedzilla]

I've mentioned this technique before and it works EVERY time.

The day before, while you are at work, make frequent sprints to the restroom with one hand on your ass and yelling....."oh god, oh no...."

When you call in sick the next day, no one will even think about asking you any questions.

[trent]

lol! i'll bet you're never invited to dinner by any of your co-workers, as it seems you are always clenching and running!

[Scuff]

I feel a case of chronic carveolitis coming on. :eplus2:

[Mr. T]

Assuming all the snow doesn't melt in the upcoming thaw, I'll be there!!!!! I got an exuse slip from my dentist to skip work on the 16th!!!! Tom

[trent]

[Diggin in MN]

I'll be there

[Nicotine]

I seem to have misplaced a set of 3 hole disks for some race plates. Anyone have a set they are willing to part with?

Pete

I have a set you can have. How do you want to get them? I could bring them to MES if you can wait that long.

[Nicotine]

That would be great...I can wait that long.

Pete

[MUD]

That would be great...I can wait that long.

Pete

Cool! I'll bring them. I am a tall guy with a long goat-tee.

[trent]

ok everyone, i need to start getting some numbers as to who's coming. we need 15 people who need lift tickets to get the group rate, and they want all the tickets purchased at once. i'll take care of getting the tickets purchased. you take care of 1) telling me you're coming and 2) paying me back. :-)

once i get some feedback, i'll post who i have as attending and needing a lift ticket.

-trent

[thebionicman]

Trent you can put me down for a ticket.

[Nicotine]

Doug, I'll look for you in the parking lot. I'll have a smoke hanging out of my mouth. Trent , I have a season pass.

I'll keep an eye out. One part I do not have is the mounting screws, so you will need to supply those.

I will need a pass Trent.

[Bubba]

Trent,

Kenton

[BobD]

Trent

Thanks for looking into the discount tickets. I would definately use one if you have sufficient numbers.

BobD

[Scuff]

[trent]

ok here's who i have so far that need tickets. this isn't a list of who all is coming, as some people have season passes and maybe some like to pay full price. this is just a list of those who have told me that they need me to get them a group rate ticket (and pay me back :biggthump ).

i plan to be in the main chalet by 9:30 tomorrow, come get your tickets from me there. i'll be heading outside a little before 10. we'll stay on the front hills for a while, waiting for anyone else. come find me at the bottom of the lift, to get your ticket.

just a reminder that there will be a lot of carvers on the hill tomorrow. please ride with respect for others on the hill. there's plenty of room out there, no need to get too close to others.

see you tomorrow!

-trent

[Diggin in MN]

I'll be there. How much for the group rate ticket?

[trent]

diggin - the tickets are $21.

-trent

[Jessie K]

Thanks Trent! Had a great time today. I enjoyed the snow, though had a hard time actually seeing it sometimes. Looking forward to seeing the pics- thanks Mike! And by the way did anyone find out if Steve made it home ok??

Nice seeing y'all out there- thanks for letting me hang out with all your awesome-ness. I like to think maybe your carving abilities will rub off on me. Missed the Bobs but maybe the whole fam will get together next year?

And yes that's right- i'm a girl, and i'm posting on your thread. HAHAHA look out bomber here i come!!!:D


-Jessie (aka Mrs Scuff)

[trent]

welcome to bomber jess! :biggthump

thanks to everyone who made it out today. i had fun riding with y'all.

-trent

[thebionicman]

I had a great time. Thanks Trent for putting this together.

[Gumby]

Hey all this is Mike the photo guy... I will be letting you know how the images will be let out for public viewing/download soon. I took over 400 pictures and will be downloading them to the computer and going over them for sharpness, color, contrast and doing cropping. I will most likely open up a smugmug account or something similar. I have been needing to do this for some time now anyways. Please be patient and I will let you all know on Bomber when and where.



Peace

[Corduroy Artisan]

Thanks Mike and Trent for the obvious reasons---

Trent send me your address and 'The check is in the mail' I really appreciate it!

Kick-Ass meeting all you other Skiboarders and riding with some old friends:D

Thanks for the concern - I did make it home safe and sound. VERY BAD case of motion sickness. Do to the flat light, I never saw it coming and unfortunately missed the warning from Carl of the depression at the bottom of Twister. I'm ok - just a bruised ego. Thanks also to Trent and Carl for your concern.

[Bubba]

Trent,

Thanks for setting this up again this year. It was fun. First full day on a carve board since last year. I am still sore. :biggthump:biggthump:biggthump If I can make it up on a Wednesday, I'll let you know. Spoke to a couple of other guys from Rochester today who are interested as well. Thanks again. Mr T. & Corduroy Artisian (sorry am bad with names) I signed you guys up for the hot pepper eating contest also!

Kenton

[Gumby]

Hey all I got the pictures up online and they are there for your enjoying pleasure. I just want to say it was fun and I enjoyed taking the pictures. I whish they would have let me go up on the hill and whish the light was not so flat but I think the pictues turned out ok. The pictures online are small in size and are not printable. The pictures are Copyrighted but I have no issues with you using the pictures for your pleasure or on forums. I just want my Copyright to be visible. If you require a larger file for a print or cropped version that you want to use let me know the file name and I will put it up. If for some crazy reason you want the full Copyright use let me know we can work something out. If you have a gathering and would like me to come take pictures just let me know I really like Belgian beer!!!:smashfrea :biggthump . I hope to get out carving with you all again I guess I got the bug again!! Well here is the website:


www.michaelmulville.smugmug.com


I put up two galleries because the light was so wierd. One gallery is high contrast where the snow is very white and has little texture but the riders look nice. The other is a lower contrast, more like what it actually looked like and has a little more snow texture but overall the picture looks flatter and don't pop like the higher contrast ones.

Peace all


Michael

[Mr. T]
