Operation Legacy a Success

2010-03-12T11:23:00.003-05:00

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone involved with making Operation Legacy such a huge and resounding success. We Dominated hard, we Dominated with authority, and we did not give in to the mountain. And YEAH... we did a little skiing. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it Mr. Anton Bryce!

Some of my favorite highlights:

Quick trip up... Tom not knowing that we were there on Friday... Baker's stories... That first pitcher (and every pitcher) of Extreme... Dominating first tracks... Camel Crush... Baker telling the front desk to turn Thorpe away when he showed up... Texting Tom from the lift pretending we were on the road... Listening to Steel Panther relentlessly... Recording an acoustic version of Van Halen's "Dreams"... Hallelujah... Watching Ski School 3 times... An encore viewing of Baseketball... Finishing 2 cases of room beer in addition to going out (no wonder so many people hit a wall)... Bang, bang, bang... Tai Chi... Are horsies pretty?... Baker taking Thorpe down a double diamond mogul trail on his skis... The pen is mightier... Checking out the casino... Actually running out of Extreme (not a highlight, just amazing)... Solid Metric lunches (and then some)... Not fitting the Dolomites into the Recons... Tom saying good bye to the lame Scott poles... Jim skiing his last days on the Dolomites... Thin Cover on Buzz... Dominating the North Side... Hitting last chair at Soliel... Incredible Dick's Chicken... Facebook almost ruining the Metric Lunch (again, not a highlight)... Generalissimo Volant... Pete's personal pitcher... Smoking cigars out by the bonfire... Bacon bourbon at 8:17 AM... Fast border crossings... The Tiger Woods Beauty Pageant... Beaver Tails... Wild Boar sausage... A fast ride home.

I'm sure there are tons of things I'm forgetting. PQFI, feel free to fill in some blanks. I intend to have some footage spliced together soon to go with my new boots.

Let's rock the offseason and remember that PQFI... stick your thumb in her eye... I think.

Dominate!

Full Circle

2010-03-11T15:58:00.004-05:00

Ok guys, Operation Legacy was so awesome, and I thank you all.

I have some important information to share.... so, stay with me here.
Hang on to your butts and get ready for something amazing:

The guitarist of Steel Panther, Russ Parrish (stage name "Satchel") is also the leader of his very own band called The Thornbirds.

The bass player for The Thornbirds is none other than Dean Cameron, a.k.a. Dave Marshak of Ski School.

Lose your mind...
We've made a connection from Ski School to Steel Panther!!?!
1999 to 2010, the circle is now complete.

PLUS, Dean Cameron directed a promotional video for Steel Panther song, "Fat Girl".

Are you kidding me!?!?

The Ride Up

2010-03-10T20:10:00.001-05:00

Mission Accomplished

2010-03-10T20:09:00.001-05:00

Afternoon...

2010-03-09T22:38:00.002-05:00

Complete and total mountain domination. We promised 5 runs off of the TGV and we delivered. Apres at La Diable, dinner at Le Shack, and dessert at Beaver Tails.

Watching Ski School as Baker dies and Tom disappears.

Damn Matt Humphrey

2010-03-09T18:32:00.001-05:00

Wild Boar!

2010-03-09T12:05:00.000-05:00

More This Morning...

2010-03-09T11:20:00.001-05:00

Dominated over two hours of first tracks. Tom convinces us for one more run. Tom then stays out to Dominate until lunch. Thorpe can't even move to go shopping. Eating more Dick and chips while watching CNN. Some lady from South Carolina didn't call 911 when her house was burning down because she thought the fire department would charge her $300 dollars for the service. Baker is dead, but is slowly coming back to life and Jim is dying laughing about all the wonderful Facebook exchanges Jen and Tobio are having.

Metric Lunch coming up and we're havin' ribs. Domination directly to follow.

This morning...

2010-03-09T07:41:00.002-05:00

We think Keith is still drunk. He just ate three plates of dick for breakfast and had an extra plate last night. We just watched a cartoon show where a gorilla put cartoon characters in a bag and then broke a chair over the bag. Keith fell asleep on the chair for three hours and woke up naked with his phone in one hand and his iPod in the other wondering exactly what happened. Cigars and bacon bourbon were both dominated by the fire. Pete is eying first tracks this morning. Jim really wants a potato chip, but may die. Keith is now eating potato chips instead. Tom was just told that his options were dick, chips, or Triscuits... for breakfast. Good footage of moguls coming up.

Tom, we missED you...

La Diable

2010-03-08T22:23:00.001-05:00

Late night - PQFI all the way.

Soon to be Captain Baker, and Captain Pete, enjoying some late night
libations after a nice cigar at the bonfire.....first tracks are a
mortal lock for this guy .... Write it in extreme cause it's a done
deal..

Keith just bolted from the bar to the bathroom

2010-03-08T18:05:00.001-05:00

We're not sure if he's throwing up or dominating.

...disappointed. He just had to pee. Very abrupt and off though.

Wow -Keith

2010-03-08T18:04:00.000-05:00

Just kept up from the bar and ran into the bathroom-----

Jim and I have no idea what just happened..

Oh, it was just a piss

On the menu tonight...

2010-03-08T17:53:00.001-05:00

We're making dick. Not just any dick, but Cajun, bacon dick. We may die.

Thorpe is talking about closing La Diable tonight and hitting first tracks tomorrow. A bold statement.

Dial up some apres Exteme

2010-03-08T17:31:00.001-05:00

It's back, baby. Tom is in the room, but I think we are going to have to give out our first medal of the Tremblant Olympics.

Because Thorpe's soup

2010-03-08T12:08:00.001-05:00

Is community property!

Jim

2010-03-08T11:54:00.001-05:00

Hasn't touched hardware in years...

It's like he's married or something

A world without Extreme

2010-03-08T11:39:00.001-05:00

Is a sad, sad place to live in. Yeah, we're drinking Blizzard right now, but it's just not the same. We are all inconsolable right now and contemplating suicide.

Pitcher #... You know what? It doesn't even matter anymore.

Metric Lunch #3

2010-03-08T11:28:00.001-05:00

Jim and Tom just shared a moment. We have come to new revelations about the PQ Ski Team credo.

Also, we will be banning smoking on all PQ trips going forward.

Pooplets

2010-03-08T08:44:00.001-05:00

Yes, you read that right.

Time to shame Tom....

Tom lacks discipline

2010-03-07T21:47:00.000-05:00

It's a shame.

Pitcher #15

2010-03-07T21:18:00.001-05:00

Apparently, they are out of Extreme but that's not stopping Pete even though he keeps ordering it anyway.

And yeah, there have been plenty of beers in the room.

Just so you know

2010-03-07T21:12:00.001-05:00

Steel Panther rules this trip.

So...

2010-03-07T21:11:00.001-05:00

I just asked Keith what his monthly payment is on his car. He then segued into "Asian Hooker!"
