Thanks Jim, for the photos.
Thanks Phil and Trish for too much to mention.
Thanks Christy for the Loveland tics and the new grill. (No grease stains this year.)
Thanks Mdf for a good day at Mary Jane.
Happy birthday Betsy. You did well on your new knees.
It was great to see everybody.
Good friends, good skiing, good alcohol.
I had a good week.
Now, on to summer.

Thank You for your grillin'!

Looks great! Now @Tony S will have to ski 178's the rest of his life.

You were missed @James I did find someone else to ski till closing a few days. And I sort-of did a circle this year. Pretty mis-shapen, but I got all the way around.
In Zuma or near BML?

Yeah really missed being out there. Missed the new Beavers area. Sounds like the snow was good!

It's probably just an optical illusion, but that left pole looks a bit long if anyone wants to take a crack at fixing that.
Nah. Maybe you didn't notice but Tony uses 60" poles.

And I tried adding a smile, but Photoshop kept giving me some kind of e-yor3 error, and refused to do it.

:D

Maybe put him in his old ski pants?

@James, don't let them get to you is what I'm telling myself ... ok I confess, they're killing me! The 19th was my window of oppurtunity airfare wise, $230 Southwest RT nonstop, the torn calf muscle which was recovering well took a down turn that week, relapse :( I was reluctant as all of the runners were telling me it was my Achilles tendon which I know takes time to heal. Of course when I realized it was only a muscle tear (confirmed in person by two doctor (surgeons actually) fiends/family and then by my PCP's NP's exam), and when I knew I could handle the gathering, airfare went up to $530 for just the outbound leg and another $162 for the return:(
I am determined not to let the same happen for the Jackson gatherin, (fingers crossed), been too long since the Aspen gathering I last attended.

Everyone lucked out with this one, I'm seriously jealous but happy for all :)

Thx for the great pix to live vicariously thrul;)

I would like to thank everyone at the Annual May at A-Basin gathering for the warm welcome I received!!! I cannot imagine how you all could have been more gracious and welcoming. I had a Blast meeting and skiing with all of you!

A special thanks to @Jim Kenney for encouraging me to come and allowing me to be his sidekick/wingman, @Tricia and @Philpug for all their hard work in making PugSki available to all of us and @Doug Briggs for the tour of Breckenridge.

Looking forward to my next Gathering!

See you on the slopes and keep pugging along!
