The Stoked Thread

Sore, and stoked on an incredible opening weekend at my hill. Learned something new each day I went. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

So much progression and improvement.
 
Same stuff as I posted yesterday. Still stoked on it though, and I want to ski again so much.

Simple things like being stable and stylish on straight slides on boxes is big for me. I've been horrible at jibbing in the past.
 
Mmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

This is waiting in the kitchen for me. My procrastination to study has finally paid off!
 
You can't really see it in the picture, but I wrote "rad" in the center. That's pretty much how it's going to taste.
 
Sam, I still can't believe you baked a pie, when that's exactly what I was doing the other day! Oh man, we rock.
 
haha it looks good, next time if you want to put some wording on it then you can use it from the dough, my mom did that
 
Actually bought my first christmas present this morning, stoked because I never buy anything until the 11th hour normally.

 
wow. congrats. i havent even started yet. im hoping to get most of it, if not all done this weekend. lets hope the firm is feeling generous with our bonuses this year. they better be. i dont work my ass off just for the hell of it ya know
 
I'l have to do my xmas shopping the weekend right before Christmas due to my bonus (which is my main source of income) not being paid out until the 21st.

My regular base pay barely covers my bills.
 
Welcome to my club.

It sucks.

Im usually left with about $200, if that, to get through the following two weeks until my next check. I suck at budgeting.
 
I'm very stoked for;

-The four dozen eggs and bottle of brandy that are destined to become a delicious beverage

-Classes finished today and I only have 2 finals

-Uhh..that's about it...I thought there'd be more?
 
^ Yo, I hear eggnog is hard to make. How many times have you made it before? LET ME KNOW! I have never had real eggnog. Would love to try.
 
We actually made two seperate egg nog batches at one thanksgiving feast up in maine about two years ago. They were both a bit more umm "rough" than a store bought type. I would say both were very good though. Thicker and more filling as well, but boy did they get the job done.
 
I just got back from filming a 20' drop with a 30' gap in it, it was awesome beyond all comprehension. It was probably one of the smoothest landings I've hit, and there was 18" of new snow to land in! Not sick enough to warrant another picture though, sorry. Now it's time to drink wine and be merry.
 
that sounds sick. I need to get used to cliffs, my air sense is still dialed to park jumps. Although we did hit that little ass double stager in the middle of south bowl and did a 180 off the second part and skied it switch to the road. right in front of the lift. 4 of us hit it in a row, and got a couple of hoots and hollers
 
Bah, that's not a double stager! If you're talking about the one in the patch of trees, you should be gapping the whole thing. Come skiing with us on a powder day and you'll learn how to jump off shit. N' stuff.
 
Ohhh yes. Found out my hill setup a good learning rail in the park. It's a 15' long round rail, about a foot off the ground, with a wide takeoff, and it's not ride-on!

Steve's finally going to learn to slide something other than boxes!
 
I'm going to Cuba. And not paying for it. Yay getting away from stupid crappy snow! Man I hate the snow. Stupid snow. Aside from eating it, it really is good for nothing.
 
OH YEAH, and I was wasted AGAIN last night...

So here's a weird story, kinda:

I drive home from the bar after dropping off this frig from my calc class while talking on the phone with Ben. I arrive at my apartment complex, and my roommate/ex-boyfriend was parked in MY carport spot. So, I have to drive all the way to the other side of the complex... we're talking 200 apartments on 28 acres or something (not a long drive, but it's a long walk in below-freezing temps).

By this time, I have to piss like a racehorse, but I'm on the phone and REALLY don't feel like going inside just to fight with the ex. After seeing a bush against the fence in front of my car, I decide to tell Ben to hold on a sec, put the phone on the hood of my car, and pop a squat next to this bush. Drip dry, back on the phone, it's all good.

I completely forgot about it until the ex and I got in the car this morning to drive to school for our oceangraphy final, and he goes, "Why the hell is there a bunch of dirt all over your passenger seat?"

Oops.

Soberness tonight, though... studying for my calc final in the morning, aaaaaaah.
 
Yeah, so I did the bars thing too last night. I remember getting home, then putting Animal House on. I think I went to sleep around 3, really cannot say... but throughout the movie I was just refilling this Guinness glass with coke and J&B. I didnt feel shit, only had like 4 beers at the bar, and I wanted to at least feel drunk. After two of those I didnt feel anything, so I increased the concentration. I cannot remember what the fuck happened, or how much liquor I consumed, but the last glass I remember pouring was half J&B... and we're still using that Guinness glass.

Fast forward to today. Alarm goes off at 9, I get up, shower, brush my teeth, get dressed, realize I'm definitely still drunk, go back to sleep. Wake up at 12, two hour before my final. I just cooked a huge ass breakfast with eggs, brie and toast and sausages and pounded four shots of coffee.

Summary - I'm done with school for a full month. Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
 
The less than an inch of snow forecasted for last night magically turned into 6 inches of wet, slushy snow at 34 degrees this morning!

Score!
 
Correction. I'm a Snow-Miser. Everything I touch, turns to snow in my clutch.

I'm too much.
 
Blasephemy! Ban?

I am stoked that I am not going skiing this weekend and that I might actually get something done around the house at the Beach. yeah... right... stoked for responsibilities?

 
1. done with finals

2. hit up mount snow yesterday, got some excellent jibbing accomplished, taught chick i work with how to do boxes (on snowboard) propane tank jib is back up...my legs feel like jello, it was a good day
 
Stoked that I'm finally gonna get my first day in this year. Sugarbush on Saturday. Damn what are the odds I can get bindings remounted in two days???
