Many Boloney Happenings (NO Plans)

Jackson, Utah, Tahoe, Killy, Sugarbush, Mount Snow, Pico, and the list goes on.  Just a sampling of the hills and territories gangs of boloners will be headed to this season.  With snow blanketing the country, and winter rapidly spreading after an awful East Coast early season, we're all getting our ass into gear.

To follow in a much more abbreviated version than last year, I'll post some upcoming highlights:

Jackson Hole II:  Boloney Strikes Back (12/25-12-30)
Bri Dk Fest X:  Bonoirishlover won't know what hit him - let's show this decade who is boss (1/8-1/10)
U2: Snowbird, Brighton (MLK Weekend)
Tahoe: Humpin' Heavenly (Early March)

So there will be many trips of course.  Perhaps some filming will take place if the mood strikes just right for Xceptionally Stylish.

As a small aside, to highlight the greatness of some of the places we'll hit, Brighton has found a skull and just identified it.  And yea, it's fractured.  Turns out some guy decided to get into an argument, go off on a stroll solo, and dove off a cliff.  Most metal mountain ever?  I don't know, but we'll surely be shredding it.

Unleash the Fury (East Coast Snow Update)

Everyone on the East is sitting around, looking at gear - new and old alike - and anxiously waiting for Vermont to announce "game on."  A quick jib sessions a few weeks ago at Mount Snow only served to make us all more hungry for the season to really start.  All eyes now are on Killington.  To paraphrase the Beast, snowmaking has been going on since yesterday, but conditions suck to make snow at the low elevations.  Fresh, real snow might be coming tonight, but the temperatures for prime snowmaking will certainly be there.  That's the critical part.  The East Coast snow gods are fickle, but the icy hand of a New England winter isn't.  When it shows up, it stays and locks in that deep freeze.  Using our technology, we can finish the job.  Gotta love the brand new fan guns they are using at killy pictured right.  I think that thing was only on for six hours when they took this and there is already light coverage.  Amazing.

The glimmer of hope?  The Beast says they will make an official announcment about top-to-bottom skiing tomorrow around this time.  Frankly, that seems much more positive than they were at this time yesterday.  Let's hope they can do it.  Boloney Moguls needs to keep it green and get back to Rutland.

Other prospects?  Well with all this cold finally setting in, snowmaking at Mount Snow has seriously cranked up.  They even claim to have gotten a few inches last night of fresh.  In the picture to the left you can seem them blow as hard as they can all over mother nature.  Damn green stuff needs to become white stuff.  Down by the base, they have nothing, but again, at higher elevations it is really looking like a winter wonderland.  Key here is to get great cover in for a 3rd annual post-Thanksgiving trip to the Snow Lake Lodge.  Last year's debauchery can be recapped here.  But to summarize, I ended up with a bruised jaw, Kath became Pukey, Kyle was anused, and Vinny was creeping about.  Oh yea, and the plate of gravy.

It's the Final Countdown (Shred Season)

In a post with a totally original name, inspired by a song I'm sure no one has ever heard, I will discuss the impending season and the various countdown clocks in motion.



29 days to the traditional Mount Snow Thanksgiving kick off
58 days to Jackson Hole part two - Shredding with Santa
80 days to Utah "get me two"
123 days to South Lake Tahoe - Hittin' up Heavenly

Of course, this is by no means an inclusive list.  Many shred-tacular events will be happening before, after, and in between.  Almost none of the East Coast trips that define the season are listed here.  There has already been a quick jib session to Mount Snow and surely a VT weekend will occur in the next two or so weeks when Killington opens its doors.  Will we get to Maine or New Hampshire this season?  Jay Peak?  The Burlington area?  Where will the snow and the storms take us this season?  How many miles will the Seenbaru put on it's inaugural shred season?

We should also already start thinking about the follow-up to Boloney Moguls' inaugral video, None More Blacker, EXCEPTIONALLY STYLISH.  Will the follow-up live up to the hype or be loaded with Boloney Moguls' signature style of fail?  In thinking about it, that's probably the same thing.  You can go anywhere for extreme tricks and amazing riding.  You come to Boloney Moguls when you want to see retards on ice.

No Plans (Masse Tequila)

So this weekend, Pukey, Dong, and myself got together for a no plans weekend. It was a great success. In a quick wrap-up, there was: a bottle of tequila crushed, a fat wad strewn about, axe throwing, surfing, MTBing, much driving, and the Feast of St. Anthony's thrown in.

Check out Pukey and myself's Picasa pages for full event imagery. But check out some of our sweet videos below:

Me, kicking the crap out of Pukey. She clearly, did not win.
