ARCHIVE FOR DECEMBER, 2008

On and Beyond the Snow

Charles White: Pro Shred
I Hate: When people throw garbage out their car window / Small dogs / 90% of cats / When all your friends get off work early and go fishing and forget to invite you / Girls who don’t carry condoms and go out looking for sex / Girls that don’t ask you to use a condom – it might save us both some trouble / People who think because you’re high on mushrooms that you’re seeing dragons and shit

Dickie’s Grade: A! Slow start but good recovery half way through. You can really feel this young mans hate. Its honest, accurate and thought provoking. Keep it up.

It’s true, there is snow in Arizona…and a lot of it in 2008 !

The Arizona Snowbowl is having a stellar winter season, so it was time to round up the AZ posse and get busy. A foot of fresh fell on Christmas night, so after a great day with the family celebrating the holiday, it was time to slash some pow in The Grand Canyon State.

A couple of us rolled up the night before in the blizzard conditions to bypass possible road closures the next morning on the I-17 North. There was no way we were going to let road issues block our plans for “FIRST CHAIR.” The rest of the crew made the mad dash out of Phoenix at 5:30 AM, coffee and stoke in hand.

The first chair plan worked out perfectly as we found ourselves in the lift line at 8AM sharp, ready for the 9AM start. Around 8:45 ski patrol showed up and said the lift was delayed for mechanical reasons, so we “..should go ride the park for awhile..”. After a loud round of laughs at that statement, he got a clue and made his merry way onto whatever he was up to next.

We kept chillin, the lift started up at 9:30, we loaded up with big smiles on our faces and started what would be one of our best pow days at The Bowl ever.

.BLOTTO.
