Spring Time Sucks (Little More Season Left)

Well as we are now in the middle of March and the big trips (Jackson, Utah) are in the history books, we can now look forward to mushy skiing and clearance sales.

While the NY component of the Moguls is headed up to G305 on Friday, I will likely be attending last weekend festivities at Liberty - coming back as a returning hero after my big win.

Quick recap. Jackson Hole was amazing. It's only a few days since we've been back, but most of us are now reshaved (minus my chin steeze) and back to the grind (the bums lost Dong).

Jackson was a big gnarly mountain. The only thing I didn't like about it was I had to leave. As conditions kept improving while we were there, it was as if the mountain kept getting bigger, more interesting, and more challenging. So many spots on that hill could be turned into full day sessions. Whether they were cliff drops, tree runs, or steep slopes, endless terrain variety abounded. I'd pay 1200$ any day to have one powder run at the Hole, it is that good. Hell, even the traverses at Jackson are good. First mountain I've ever been on where you can be on a flat traverses on a board yet still be able to cruise to the next trail or across the mountain without ever stopping and having to push.

So let's enjoy Spring skiing, t-shirt riding, and goggle tans. Perhaps a trip to Mount Hood is in order for June, and a trip to Chile to ride South American style during the heat of the Summer.

Boloney Moguls Takes First Place (Boloney WINS BIG)

Boloney Moguls has officially gone full pro with their first win in a major competition. No, not the half-pipe. Not the DEW Tour. Not the X-Games.

Of course, I mean the 80s weekend fashion comp at Liberty Hill in Southern PA. Power Seen showed those mid-Atlantic posers how to shred, in style.

*Switching to First Person*

So Pukey and I headed down to the epic shred-fest that is Liberty for a day of fun and shenanigans. Not long after arrival people kept commenting on my awesome onesie - an outfit I often wear. After discovering it was "80s weekend" and they were having a competition I scoffed. As the 10th kid went "whoa great outfit, you're entering the comp right," I mocked him, and then he said "but you could win $200!"

I immediately responded, "What, what, what!!!" Pointed my board down the hill and went straight to the tent. I walked up to the judge in my sweet gear and stated, "Where do I collect my prize."

The rest is difficult to explain: I mostly blacked out but there was a lot of free style walking, pelvic thrusts, and the dead fish came out. Videos are embedded below. Regardless, Boloney Moguls has now won big in this premiere event of the mid-Atlantic and will have to be taken seriously. Skiing is serious business.

I'm Gonna Snowball Jackson (In 9 Days)

Jackson approaches. As does much snow. Heavy accumulation in the last few days. More predicted.

Current weekend plans: Shred the midatlantic - Shred Sugarbush. At both locations, Boloney is going to get super xtreme.
