April 21st, 2007 – The year of the sub 400.

Location for Boarding of the LONG:

Weather & Temp:

The day started with some nice sunny, pre-storm skies, and then turned to flat light blight later in the day. Temps hovered around 32 F for most of the day, with some freshies from the night before. All in all a pretty mid-winter long board day.

Long Board Losers:

666, Basom, Zippy, Jrosen32, Tyrone Shoelaces, Slim, Mrs. Slim, Sis666, Shugs, Hop, SKiergirl, Skimoore, Supu, Lhs, Ridefree, Miss Zulu, and many others.

Skis that ‘do not suck because they truck’:

Synopsis:

As usual, and as most normal human beings are aware, short skis suck and long skis truck. More mid-winter skiing this time around, but with almost exactly one-half the base of last season. Shugs forgets his pass, then buys a $10 ticket, breaks his binding on his board on the first run, and then starts downing Zima to ease the pain of a day quickly going to hell. Let the madness begin.

Cameramen:

666, Zippy, Skimoore, Supu & Slim
