Three Musketeers Ride Again

Me, Spanky, Sue and everyfuckingbody who owns a pair of skis or a snowboard went up to Steven's Saturday after some minor dumpage.
Got a few first tracks. Then bumped along the rest of the day.

Went in at lunch and got hammered on juiceboxes and Don Julio. Slices of pizza from Whole Foods and mini candy bars. We are so dialed this year.
Sue was ready to go on the big jumps after lunch but I managed to talk her out of it.
Steve was whining about the conditions as usual but went a lot faster on his new board than last year. I actually couldn't catch him a few times! We need to get matching sweaters to go with our matching boards and bindings.

A few incidents getting off the lift as usual. I'll get it one day.

Sue was still too drunk to drive home so the Spankster was at the helm.
Stopped at McDonald's for Fries (since I have a degenerative brain disease, I'm not so worried about the heart condition. Hopefully, I'll have a coronary before the drooling diaper days start.)

Finally!

Opening Day at Steven's Pass and Sue and I were there!

Egg sandwiches and mocha's in hand, we set out at 7....am!
SEASON PASS HOLDERS! Get outta the way.

Wasn't bad actually. Not much of a base but the snow was dry. Started out kind of tenuous but as the day wore on (and the "juice" boxes added up) I got braver and faster. We were talking shit and backing it up (some gapers from Kansas of all places talking about "can't let a girl beat me." At least I think that's what they were saying when I sprayed snow in their face as I passed them.) My only serious incident, of course, was a nasty spill getting off the lift. I hate the lift. I bent my knee backwards and made a big scene wailing and flailing. Then I limped out of the way, got up, and went balls out downhill. All better.



BTW- My sister wouldn't approve but we found these individual 'wine-in-a-box' fourpacks at Target. They come in Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Merlot (of course!) and CabSav. The best thing ever for a day at the Pass! Got yer juice boxes and pizza slice and you're ready for the terrain park! If only they would do that for gin & tonics and Patron shots. Sigh.
