Picking back up from the December winter update, we spent New Years in Mammoth again. New years day, naturally, was spent on the couch. While it's annoying that I got so behind on updating this winter, one plus on that is I can officially say the winter total was over 650+ inches this year. Storm after storm well into May, and another season that won't end until July 4th. The other plus? A concussion free season! My Mom will be so pumped!
After New Years, January, February, March and most of April saw us up about every other weekend, with the Aspen weekend sandwiched in there too. Then came May, FINALLY a little bit of Spring weather, and of course, Burkefest!
If you can believe it, the pageantry the 2nd annual Burkefest actually managed to rival last year's inaugural run. I'm also happy to report that my condo team handily took first place in this year's relay challenge! We assured the ski patrol that the full beer was chugged only AFTER a contestant had made his lap sprinting to the lift and riding downhill at breakneck speed - shockingly enough they weren't comforted, but I think just amused enough not to stop us.
Because no one provides superb beer-swilling, mountain dominating, relay race action quite like a bunch of doctors, lawyers and corporate stooges let our of their cages for the weekend :)
To clarify my write-up, please enjoy this year's soon to be classic video, provided be none other than the incomparable Mr. Matt Woods.
