Avalanche Update (Or How Lightning Can't Strike Twice... Right?)

What is described as: "a war zone." What people are saying "may require government action." Where has there been " uncommonly widespread conditions of instability, wreaking havoc?" Is it Iraq? Afghanistan? No, it is of course the most metal of areas: OUT WEST.

NYTimes has a sick piece describing the dire conditions at many of the resorts out west because of such epic dumpings of snow leading to record levels of avalanche outbreaks, which have been both lethal and destructive.

And just in case we thought rescue would save us or investment in a transceiver would help, "The Teton County Sheriff’s Department reminded the public last week — for the first time in its 17-year history — that search and rescue may be significantly delayed or unable to respond to backcountry incidents because of heightened avalanche hazards."

I couldn't help but notice this quote: "Avalanches in in-bounds areas have led to deaths of skiers at Squaw Valley in California, at Snowbird in Utah and at Jackson Hole. It is the most in-bound deaths in one season since three skiers were killed in a single avalanche at Alpine Meadows in 1976."

So that's right, 2 out of the 3 mountains that have had lethal avalanches, are both spots that Boloney will be ridding next weekend and in March. In discussing this with Dong Stoole, I think he is exactly on target with these sentiments. Of course the only rational response is to: "get to squaw."

Boloney Goes Formal (Mini Shred, Max Style)

To ring in the New Year with style, Boloney Moguls held a raging NYE Gala at Dong Stoole's home. Drinks were had, merriment occurred, and as usual, we were unable to make it into 2009 without one rendition of Dechristianize.

The backyard mini shred was certainly a sight to see, especially because BP was so "merry" that he couldn't even make it off the roll in without eating it very, very hard.

And in case you missed it, Pukey wrote up - and performed - quite the New Year's poem to encourage one Power Seen to make yet another trek from D.C. and attend.

twas the night before new year's and all through trafalgar square,

boloneys raged and burnt each other's chest hair.

gala '08 was a night not to be missed,

when that shiny ball drops someone is gonna get kissed.

dresses, vests, and flashy shirts were worn,

over the decision to come up, power seen was torn.

coors originals and creamy beige will surely will be in stock,

just make sure bp doesn't kick you in the cock.

'don't stop me now', i'm just getting started,

the morning after someone will surely have "pre-shit-farted".

raging and drinking and debauchery all night long,

thanks to the wonderful planning of a gracious host named dong.

queen will blare and pukey will cook,

and then snuggle up in a nice little nook.

so bring out your finest and ring in the the new year,

come on, power seen, you know you wanna be here...

The night was capped off with a supreme Bindy run. For those who do not know, the Bindy is the one sandwich to rule them all. It is a delicate balance of old, tired, and tough fried chicken cutlets. A healthy dose of American cheese. The most burnt and leathery bacon available. And finally covered in a heaping dose of a most hardy of Russian dressings.

And here's a link to the last photos of 08 and the first of 09.

Next stop VT for the next chapter in Bri/DK fest, then Utah for the BIRD. 09 is not going to be able to handle being Boloned this year.
