Baldface Re-Cap

I got a Baldface YO-Bored Realmz in the works, just waiting on Chappy to get me some more helmet cam footy. It's been a week since we were up there and man it went quick seeing how we started planning for this thing last July. Definitly going back as it was way too fun. The best way to describe it would be, you know that run you get at the hill when you get first chair on a pow day? That run that you straight line it to cause you know it's gonna be all time? Well Baldface was like that, but run after run. Shit we were there 4 days and got almost 50 runs in of no crossing other peoples tracks. The guides were all time and the lodge staff was even better. From the moment you walk thru the door, they knew your name.You know what, they should change the name of the place to Cheers. Plus the fact that your stranded 20 some odd miles out in no-where in a lodge with a bar that doesn't close? Chappy would definitly be Norm here. This place is a no brainer for me. I'm back next year...

Ben sent out a disc that arrived today that the photo dude there Dave does with each group. These were some of the shots they do the 6:30PM nightly slide show. Enjoy a farewell to Baldface. Thanks for the memories.

Team shot
Gags, 49 going on 29. Joke for every situation, smile for every conversation. Never Summers new Sales Manager and one hell of a dude. "If you can't be a tree and end up being a bush, be the best bush you can be."
Rad Dad Glen, paid lots of dollars to bring himself and 10 year old Jonas on a trip with a bunch of bitter old men and had no problem with the language being thrown around. Neither did his kid. Someday Jonas will look back on this trip and appreciate how cool Pops is.
Woody, Bens old Snowbird friend who now lives in TexASS. Says he's got a 25 year old girl he's gettig married too. Come to find out, it's a dude. Yes, Woody is GAY. "Hey kid, get in the car, your mom said it was OK!" Woody, nice turns for a cocksucker! HA, just kidding. Wood could pull more tail than the entire lodge if he wanted.
Kind Bro, C3 and 686 Rep in Coloradical. Jason Brown pow turn style. Enjoyed every freakin second in Canada.
Chappy, Porters Tahoe owner. One piece tree suit. Took the name Ba Ba Booee on the trip. Known to corner you at the bar and lock you into whatever he was doing on the computer. "Hey, did I show you this???"
Dave, Mormon gone bad, or good. However you look at it. Dave laid down some of the best turns of the group. Dude was always smiling. "What the FUCK are you smiling at dude?"
Scott, another former Morman that saw the light at age 14. Would sing us MoMo songs while waiting for the cat to pick us up. We all felt enlightened due to Scott being there.
Micha, Neff, Drop, Osiris and NS rep in Colorado. Also the Never Summer team manager. Young gun on the trip and patient with all our old guy claiming. Thanks Micha.
Lanny, our tailgunner guide. Dude is an emergency room Dr. in Reno. He does three 7 day sessions guiding up at Baldface. Not bad when you think about it, 21 days of pow. Sign me up.
Brad, lead guide. We called him a chick cause he would ask us to follow his line which was all over the fucking place. Tony overheard him talking to another guide the first night and the person asked him how his group was? "Their kinda mean." Pussy. We love you Brad.
Me, stoked to be there. Thanks wife.
10 year old Jonas. Hands down MVP of the trip. Rode pow like a seasoned pro on a 125. Kept his mouth shut when it was supposed to be. Had the "earmuffs" trick down pat. Shredder. Riding Capita and Union after this trip.
Benny Pellinegro, Milosport owner. Organizer of the trip. Out till 3AM up at 6. Figured out a way to spend 7 days up there. Jeenyus.
Fuck Toe Knee, stay at home Dad. Hater of all, enjoyer of none. For some reason liked everyone on this trip and said he'd do it again in a heartbeat. This is his barrel roll move. Really hard. Oh and if you look hard, you'll notice that everything he has on and is shredding is so next year. Like 2010/11 shit. Michael J Fox like Back to the Future type stuff.
Later Baldface. See you next year.

  4. tumblepic is sicc.

    I'm on an installment plan for a trip next year...exchange rate keeps getting better, with each day deeper into these Tough Economic Times.

    Stoked, just thinking on it. I still got a pink ribbon on my boot from my first trip. Most dudes just assume it's because I'm fruity, but it's still there to remind me of Baldface.
