L(a)nch Time (2): Reflecting on Saturday's Lunch

Snowboarding Home to the Slopeside Condo After a Midday Shop in VT
A Series of Haiku by Winston

Slashing slush at Jay
Homeward bound with groceries
Airing jumps with eggs.

Back at the condo
Euro dance party out back
Only four eggs broke.





Used eggs anyway
What they don’t know won’t hurt them
Served with Mac and Cheese.

Clay flies past with cape
Chairs trailside for spectating
Steep-lipped jump is built.







Second course grilled cheese
Fran and Eve woo hot doggers
‘Hey, Come hit our jump!’





Cold ones aplenty
Fourth terrain park, our backyard
Lunch is done, let’s ride.

Thwarting public safety

Despite a ridiculous amount of effort in transporting close to 400 pounds of snow to the steps of low (it's still there, if you go look--and probably will be until April), Public Safety saw fit to end our fun on the grounds that we might potentially injure small children. At 11pm at night.

They must have thought a whole gang of six-year-olds were simply hiding in the bushes waiting to sprint out and dive under somebody's skis.




Lucky for us, the NYPD actual has real issues to attend to other than squashing fun and as such we were able to construct a jump out of hay bales in Riverside park. I can't say that we've ever had a better Monday night.

Take Your Daughters to Sugarloaf / Shredfest

This past weekend, Mansuite was able to send only two representatives up north to Sugarloaf for the first Ski Team overnighter. Despite the disadvantage of playing four men down, Michael and I were able to start a family and a new life in Maine. It only took us a couple of minutes to produce four daughters. See below.

Dad, Dad, and the kids.

With our new household sturdily in place, all of society's nuclear family demands fell immediately to the wayside and we were able to charge the mountain with an air of confidence that only comes with the comfort of knowing you have a family waiting for you back at your rental condo. The result: action shots ---

Long distance relationships

Dear Manauite,

I hope you are enjoying New York! Maine is nice, Tom and I have
started a family together. I hope this doesn't complicate our
relationship at all.

I had an idea: after the matching robes, can we get team ski
jumpsuits? I liked this one in the lifeliftline today; note the guy
getting whapped in the crotch:
