Ever get anymore greens sb.com ones in? Anybody want to comment on fit – slim like AA, wide like Hanes?

Nice pics Ryan! Looks like we should have gone up to Illum as well, those turns look :drool:

Good times and a huge thanks to the sponsors as they kicked down a ton of schwag, and obviously to jefe009 for putting this thing together again. A couple pics I’ve got are below, didn’t really get any riding shots as I just had my P&S with me

Splitfests are sausage parties

Til next year…or Baker….or the TJ reunion :headbang:

Hmm….I’ve got two half full kegs of homebrew in the basement….gonna have to see if it tastes worth bringing up

EDIT: It’s not :thumbsdown:

DO NOT leave anything valuable in sight in your car as some of our crew had their car broken into 2 weekends ago.

We should set up a bait car….

Eric texted me a reminder about this event, I’ve been kind of out of it this year (this year only? :scratch: ) Trying to rearrange my schedule so I can get up and help you shovel on Friday. Figure OR splitfest just wouldn’t be the same without some suffering for beer!

I’m headed to the 9PM with a couple yet to be converted but I know they’ll see the light splitboarders. Dunno any of you guys but if you set something up I’ll try and make it :guinness:

Awesome, and flakes flying all the way down to the lot! Anybody calling in sick to ride tomorrow?

[bigdood 457 Posts]

Damn, screaming deals, too bad my buddy just moved from SLC!

1/3 full? Seriously?? We failed miserably.

Sorry couldn’t make it today, had to get something out before the last overnite FedEx shipment went out at 4pm. Spent 3 hours trying to get one of my 3 printers working. Neither of them ever did :banghead: Back to your regularly scheduled stoke, let’s see them pics!

PS anybody notice the St. Helens report for tomorrow? 5-9″ tonite. WTF

The snow from the car wasn’t exactly consistent

Moving a full keg uphill requires many meetings, often to discuss the safety of said maneuver

This smoke was from cooking. Probably.

Speaking of cooking, Elliott carried up chili for 25 and deserved some schwag for his efforts

The dangers of bringing a sleeping bag to a pillow fight

Skinning

Skin track self portrait

The thrill of victory…

…and the agony of da feet

Snapped this pic of three UFOs buzzing the treeline just outside the cabin on Sunday

Goooood times this past weekend, stoked to do it again!

Nope, (fortunately) got talked out of it when my ice axe shattered my camp lantern only 150 yards or so from the cabin! Super failboat. Gernot has the GPS coordinates of where she’s hidden

I may be in, let me see what the rest of the week looks like. I was hoping to get that fooker out for you on Sunday, sadly failed :banghead: Think I would have gotten it there (though dunno w/ that sidehill…), we just wouldn’t have made it back in town in time to drop off the rental gear. Fortunately we hid it well 😀

Instead of riding with it on your back may want to try actually riding the keg and using your shovel as an oar and keel to guide the way. Wasn’t able to make that work w/ backpack, split, etc. but I think it’s doable…

Where there’s a will there’s a way/DIY also seemed to be a theme (though I think that’s a common theme amongst most tours?)

Keg sled

Tip clip

I think these are prototype Spark BLT (brass long touring) pins

and someone has to have a pic of Elliott’s homemade slippers

Free beer? of course this can be done. Our great grandparents built the panama fucking canal … we can drag a keg of beer to the tilly jane cabin.

The way this thread worked out = awesome

[bigdood 457 Posts]

I wanted to get a bunch of Papa Murphys and cook ’em on the stove/fire, but wasn’t sure the setup so instead will be boiling all my food. Next year tho, pending what the setup is like….

[bigdood 457 Posts]

I’ve got a lantern from 1980 that I haven’t tried using since I plucked it from my parent’s garage when they were moving. Gotta be missing the mantels, not sure, will try and find ‘er tonite and see what’s up. Otherwise see you guys at the TH tomorrow.

Found that little fold up ipod speaker. Need to get 4 AAA batteries and will test it later. From what I recall it’s not terribly loud (what can you expect from 1″ speakers!) but should get the job done.
