tahoe!

On Wednesday, I embark on my 2nd trip out to Lake Tahoe for a good ol' fashioned ass-whuppin' on the slopes of Squaw and Heavenly with the boys. The ski trip is always a workout both mentally (there's more business talk here than there was in any business class i ever took) and physically (i'm the worst skier in the group and the general rule is only black or double-black runs).
This will probably be the most dangerous of trips that I've ever been on. Why?
- 112 inches of snow as a base.
- 50 inches of new snow in the past 5 days with more predicted.
- Squaw, probably one of the toughest mountains in the U.S.
- 12 guys, the most we've ever recruited for the trip.
- Casinos do not close in Lake Tahoe.
- a fat-girl blow up doll, a penis pinata, and 10 pairs of hot pink shoelaces have already been purchased for this trip. i will be carrying the pinata on the plane just for reaction value.
- almost everyone will be wearing a helmet this year after what happened at Vail.
- the three man water balloon launcher will be making it's first appearance since college
- if anyone sleeps more than 2 hours/night, it will be nothing short of a miracle

now, if the store survives my absence, this will make for one hell of a trip.
