Gracious Godsend of Alien Gnardicalness – Kirkwood – 02/19/07

Date:

February 18th – 19th, 2007 (Freak Storm Day 2007)

Location:

Alpine, Amador, & Alien County, CA, USA

Weather:

18 F -34 F with a freak lunar 6 inches and then some of freakish snow. The snow gods gave Kirkwood a blessing to the Tahoe area. Can’t really explain it, but nowhere else in the region received any snow. However, spotters indicated a circular object parked above Kirkwood at 200,000,000 feet.

WEIRD ALIEN SNOW COMMENCE!

666, ZiPpY, Shugs, Skimoore, Lph, and Arty50

Music: Skream = ‘Rutten’

Synopsis:

The latest weather report before entering destination dream state, mentioned a slight chance of snow, but the satellite image showed nothing. Calls to the Bay Area reported highs near 80 F and bluebird. Then, at 5 am, the hear of pitter-patter on the window made the next two hours of sleepy time muy enjoyable. As I looked out through the window at 7 am, it’s super wet. Not a terrible sign at 6,250 ft. Then, the Kirkwood html cam showed clouds but no precipitation as of yet. Arrival to Kirkwood graced us with puking pukeage of the white stuff, which continued until 1 pm. By the time it finished, a much needed coating over the spring like snow pack gave us mid-winter bliss while the rest of the Tahoe area got stoked on flatwhite ice and slush.

The following day (the Quarterman’s B-day) was bluebird….and the ski day of the year ensued. Grab a comfy chair, crank the volume, turn on your sub, pop a can of Sofia’s champagne, and sip and enjoy.

Day One:

The salt falls from the sky portal of beyond consciousness….

Shugs is ready if the chair drops him near the spaceship…

He then rides the foreign substance with ease in Oops…

Sadly, Shugs wishes he could ride with his Xbox Live headset…

Mouthole, our newest alien soldier and brother of seanyob, slices into Ski School Chute…

Shugs starts to get cocky even as the aliens watch him from above…

They are starting to like his ninja skills, and may ask him to join them for a coffee near Area 51…

But before they could reach him, he rallied this last run right into his Mobile Command Center complete with home-style electrical outlets…

Seanyob is off to Thunder Saddle where its 95% winter pow skiing, and a hidden area from "you know who…"

Mouthole uses his laser weapons to get deeper into the snow….

seanyob slices through the antenna-minefield (trees are actually planted by the aliens)

666 gets some practice at Bubs before the afternoon showdown….

…and clears the first level without dying.

Higher frequencies brought us out to OB Palisades where we found the untouched alien substance…

Skimoore taking some samples to bring back to the lab…

666 taking the backup samples in case Skimoore gets killed by Bruce Willis…

…as the aliens watched, 666 gave them the universal sign of war.

Lph, actually an alien informant, was later captured after this air….

Arty50, another species of alien lifeform, getting sprayed by our PowdRsLaYEr weapon…

Day Two million:

Our attack plan the previous day kicked those aliens out of the valley harder than Will Smith could ever accomplish…and the friendly solar radiation returned.

However, I did give them permission to mess with the BC touring fold over near Round Top…

Today’s plan – clean up the foreign substance.

Jrosen32 begins the first sweep past Rabbitzzzzzz…

But ZiPpY uses some anti-gravitational formula instead….

Unknowingly to Zippy, his canister was leaking on the lift-ride up…so we all have anti-gravitational capabilities….

Zippy again TRYING to follow my line…

Skimoore volunteers on outer Palisades…

Jrosen32 uses some device called "Prophets"

Being from Mars, Skimoore is familiar to less gravity…

Zippy’s home planet is beyond Pluto…so he’s never seen the ground.

"this alien substance is fun"

666 making 1 turn….

Its almost harder to keep your feet on the ground…

Zippy finds a strange straightline….

Jrosen on Wagon Wheel ridge…

Zippy hits an orb above Funnel….

Over at Norms Nose, Zippy decides to "lean back and enjoy"

Although he was skiing extremely fast, he was still rather bored…

This is getting old….

You can probably make out our lines….

Lower cirque bliss….

The aliens gave us a deeper supply in here….

Skimoore wishing he was on my Comis…

666 looking for rare artifacts…..

Zippy doubles it from above…

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh…

Clear for departure on Zippy Spacesphere Lines…

"Where we always arrive on time"

2nd round of detoxification…still only our tracks.

Life of a researcher is hard work…

Zippy in hi-speed doubliah action….

Was it like this at Squaw?

"Moon over Neptune" air

Zippy is treating this cleanup like its actually fun….

Over to Oops at 1 pm, still untouched…

Why not? Cue the mario jumping noise….

666 making a pretty waterfall, too bad that stuff is toxic…

I like this turn….

Zippy finds an M&M near his binding…

…and then uses that energy to jib the tailwing of the aircraft.

Its a hard job but sometimes you need to get into those "tight places…"

Zippy is great at his work….

666 follows Zippy’s "committed turn-turn"

…snd sucks up the rest of the junk.

Jrosen does some probing on Ski School…

Zippy on Upper Ski School…

Finds an area untouched by human life-forms…

666 in the same line….

Tested the rocks for radiation but thankfully, the results were negative….

Even at 3 pm the research was still ongoing…

Off to Sisters area for more excavating….

During Zippy’s line we heard some foreign on-lookers die from the exposure…

Zippy in Oops EP…

That’s right…its getting late, but the research MUST CONTINUE for the human race to have a shot of survival…

Fingers is the last area for testing…very narrow, but clean of harm.

Zippy over the Finger’s Glacier Air into the Finger’s Glacier Landing….

The leftover spacecraft pieces are great for terrain parks…

The cockpit is actually quite smooth for jibbing…

Our work is done….Zippy in a disrepectful taunt to the aliens.

…but on my home, I noticed these strange creatures…hmmmm.

…in 2 hrs, 52 mins I arrived back to the base. It was then that I realized that I live in a city with the largest population of extraterrestrials.

AND a couple days later….
