Alpental, Friday March 6, 2009

The bossman gave me the go-ahead to come in a few hours late on Friday.  Alpental had gotten knee deep snow the night before and it was slated to be sunny.  Perfect!

I met a few friends up there that morning who were also calling in sic, skipping, or coming in late to work.  The day was beautiful–Bluebird and cold.

We got a couple runs before the rest of Seattle showed up.  No line at Chair 2 to begin with, then two runs later–Blamo!  1/2 hour wait.  F!  I think i blatantly snaked a few people in line on “don’t give a fuck mode.”  But ima weekend warrior in a rare Friday appearance.

Had a few sic runs knoll 1 and knoll 2.  Hit Kings cliff.  Money.  Here’s a few shots of Tall Dave and Shane#2.  Probably one of the better setups for that drop i’ve ever hit.

We managed only 6 runs over the course of the morning riding from 9 to noon.  Sic Day.

Here’s a vid clip of a friend going large off Kings Cliff.
