13th Annual May at A-Basin

mdf · May 6, 2019

Thanks to everyone, old and new. I had a great time as always, both skiing and hanging out.

Skiing with @UGASkiDawg and his daughter and @dean_spirito yesterday we ran into some of his students. So I decided to drop one of the small rocks he pointed out to them. Guess I need more run-in speed or a takeoff pop. The last six inches of my skis scraped on the rock! (Or maybe shorter skis ogwink

).

It's worth the wait for those cheese steaks!

Btw, my Schussbaumer friend saw that and immediately commented on the "nice wrap." It took me a moment to realize what he was talking about, but anyway, he was quite impressed with the execution!

What a great week its been.
Thank you all for coming out and enjoying the week with us. There are so many contributors who help us pull this off.
Please know that we appreciate everything, from showing up to share the mountain with us, to bringing food, to grilling to....you name it.
It was great to catch up with @Hotchocolate. She, @SBrown and I had to reenact a shot from a few years ago because we want YOU to come hang with us!

Shotzski time was fun, until @margaritamarcia got tequil a dumped on her by three tall dudes.

@SkiNurse slaying it with a smile on her face.

And Ollie, who clearly knows who the softy is.

And of course, I never read the cuff of my vintage ski pants, but Emily brought it to my attention that they say, "loose lips sink ships"

I have a google tan that I am borderline embarrassed to show up at work with today.

I had a great time Sunday! Tricia, Phil, Susan, Christy, Doug, Gary, and everyone else instrumental in either putting this together or facilitating the fun (binding setting, grilling ..) - thank you so much!

It was great seeing you with that giant smile.

We hit Breckenridge today with @Jim Kenney @Doug Briggs @P-Ute and @Luvbug
Here are just a couple shots. I didn't take many pics, but as you can imagine, @Jim Kenney did.
I thought I overdressed because I was super warm on the first run, but then the clouds rolled in and we actually got some flurries for a few minutes.
The Horseshoe Bowl sign is still nearly buried.

@Doug Briggs in the background, @Jim Kenney showing us what skiing Snowbird with Vince does to your skiing.

More Jim Kenney

Waiting at LGA for our connecting flight to Boston. Marcia and I had a great week skiing and especially connecting with everyone! This was our second May Day event and well worth the trip. Many thanks to Phil and Tricia for their organizing efforts and for the free demos!

Fun times with friends, old and new. Great skiing - and a perfect ending to my ski season! Thanks you Phil and Tricia for all your hard work. Looking forward to JH in 2020.

Planes, trains, and automobiles. Not to mention buses. Long day, including losing a couple hours along the way and snoring in the seat next to @mdf on the flight to Boston. (Sorry, Mike!) All so worth it.

Now, having missed lunch AND dinner, I gotta say: There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

What an amazing week with the PugSki crew. Wow. If you did not make it this year do whatever you can to make it next year. It is worth it and then some.
