Big Bumps

Check out these monstaaahs! Where do you think they are from? Maybe Jackson Hole? Perhaps Grandstand at Attitash? or Lower Caternary at Wildcat. Untracked.... hmmm.....

Deja Vu for the First Time.... Sortof

During chocolate fest, Kiwi tried the age-old fly-by intimidation trick, but this time it backfired...

Scratch It!

Rumor is that the skiing at Wildcat was fantabulous last weekend. Conditions consisted of that soft powdery snow that makes you want to do a backscratcher off one of the many boulder jumps in the Mountain Jag Glade area. A local photographer was lucky to capture our very own Speed Racer with a quite impressive scratch of her own. You go girl!!!

Deja Vu All Over Again

I think miss Kiwi forgot about this one.... Can anyone guess the mtn? Look closely at the snow! We're up to #4 and counting!

Speed Racers Bargain of the week

You may ask, what does one do in North Conway in the pouring rain? The answer, of course, is shop at the outlets. I am here to tell you the bargains are quite good right now and will divulge my bargain of the week:
Brooks Brother's outlet: Italian leather shoes...orignally $198 - I paid $31. That, my friends, is a 86% discount. How do you like 'them apples?

Kiwi's Tip of the Week

Invite old childhood friends to the ski house. They make for good (free) manual labor! Check out 2B's before, during and after work. Not bad for a guy with such skinny legs.

Things we now know (revised)...

- 2B's endurance for skiing comes from, "... working out with his big blue balls". (said by someone who escaped from her 2 kids and husband for the weekend)

- The Tomcat Schuss trail at Wildcat is usually great when the other trails are not so great and vice versa... apparently, this phenomenon is known as a "mind-fuck". (interesting perspective SR)

- The skiing this past weekend was so good.. "you couldn't be beat it with a stick - like a sore peter". (had to hear this one a couple more times before the light bulb went on)

- The way someone from Mass would describe the snow conditions this past weekend is as follows... "fuckin'-wicked-pissah-epic-days... and that's no bullshit you fuckin' retahd!" (well, maybe just the ex-Mass guy that 2B works with)

...and lastly, this post is "all"! (a Pennsylvania Dutch term that begs the Q, "..all WHAT!")

Trivia from Speed Racer

- The LOSTBO pub and ski trail at Black Mountain in Jackson, NH is allegedly an acronym for: Les Otten Sucks The Big One. http://teamweakandfeeble.blogspot.com/2007/03/lostbo.html
- Trying to substitute Mr. Otten’s name with someone else’s in the above acronym only works if the person’s first name starts with a consonant and the last name with a vowel. (there are exceptions such as Adam Smith)
- Mr. Otten was a former minority owner of the Boston Red Sox.
- The bathroom door at Horsefeather’s has “Ayers Handicap Conversions” stamped on it.
- New Hampshire's state motto is "Live Free or Die". The motto comes from a statement written by the Revolutionary General John Stark, hero of the Battle of Bennington. The full quote is: “Live free or die - Death is not the worst of evils”

Not a fact but a shout out to "2B", our weekend guest, for shoveling off the deck. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! You'll be invited back for the Freshies Spring Fling BBQ. (weekend to be determined)

Wish You Were Here!

I know the word EPIC gets tossed around when it really shouldn't be used, but I have to honestly say that today was truly and profoundly wicked EPIC. Anyone who wasn't up north today missed what was, in my opinion, the best ski day of the year. It snowed overnight and snowed all day and we found ourselves in shin, knee and thigh deep powder all day. Don't believe me??? Check out the photos and the video from earlier today. It was nothing short of amazing...
