The Cabin was quite spectacular.  Dan did a really good job picking out the place, it held a lot of people and the amenities were perfect.  We got together and started drinking while we made some delicious shrimp scampi and asperigus.  All set to start skiing the next day! Happy B-Day Dano!

Saturday

Amazing morning, we got out a little late today but the snow was perfect.  So Rutty and the Girls went with us (everybody else was an early bird) and on this crowded buss we got a little separated and the girls stayed on while we got off and the extreme right hand side of the mountain.  So we are standing outside the lifts when all of a sudden Matt says “Oh Mother Effer!” “I forgot my damn skis on the bus!”  Holy shit how do you do that?  So he left us to go track down the girls and to get them to get his skis while he caught up.  It actually worked out just perfect!

The next 2 hours we spent trying to get from one side of the mountain to the other, it was pretty incredible because the whole place is sooooooo freaking huge and beautiful.  I had an amazing time on everything, except for those goddamned fucking cat walks! I swear IF i never seen another one of those damn things again I will pee my pants with joy!  (by the time I realize that statement I’ll be wearing depends so it’ll be a pretty common occurrence).  Once we got back to Blue Sky Basin I would swear it was some of the best boarding ever  some really fun runs with some really amazing people.  Especially the one out of Blue Sky that allowed us to jump through the trees, what an amazing run

Did some Double blacks and loved it!

We had to take another damn cat walk to get back on the stupid green run  but its ok because some sawesome margaritas were on the other end at los amigos!  OMG SO GOOD!!!  but they got me a bit hammered.

Off to the house to freshen up and then to break in like a ninja to a local resort to use their heated pool and hot tub.  Ok so the hot tub was great and all but the real kicker was this little girl that seriously acted like she was a professional business woman! Seriously!  Water was warm, sauna was warm and my shorts were shorter than anything I had ever worn in my life, oh my goodness.

Time for quick showers and off for a night on the town.  Vendetta’s pizza for Dan’s BDay dinner! Some shots and good beer and better company.  And SAWESOME Pizza!  We went to two clubs after this but I’m pretty drunk at this point (still from those margaritas) some under ground club and ski bar I think :\ If anyone remembers for me, I would love to know for my own posterity.  Thanks!  Just leave a comment.

Shared a cab ride home to our house because it was too long to wait for the bus, some people got a pretty cheap cab ride I think.

Sunday

OMG its actually Sunday! I feel like I did so much this weekend!  We wake up super early to hit the slopes on time this time because there are 9 MUTHA FUCKIN inches of SNOW!!!  Sawesome!  Get out to the lifts, the entire mountain is packed because its the first good snow storm all winter and every body wants a piece of it!  Purchase tickets (thanks Dano ) and just about to get on the lift to go skiing when Matt’s on the phone.  ”Hey guys the cleaning lady is here and she says we’re supposed to be out by now!”  haha, pretty damn funny I think, so we have to leave the snow behind (Waugh picked us up) and go clean up to get out of the place.

Finally get back to the slopes a couple hours later and get up on that mountain with Matt.  Pretty awesome.  Snow is fresh and clean perfect runs and a sawesome time.  Met up for lunch, nom nom nom.  Headed down to try to beat the traffic.  (hahahaha no fucking way in hell).  We found the most amazing down hill run through a gully where dan was jumping off of cliffs and being an all around billy badass.  I was pretty jealous.

Spent about 4 hours in traffic to get back, have some soup and go to bed before my 6 AM flight.  More to come about this stupid fucking plane in next weeks edition!

Thanks for the awesome Birth day dano
