BACKCOUNTRY
Japhy Rider! Japhy Rider! Japhy Rider…Should be Japhy (Rough) Rider! Leave it up to McD to put a hurtin on everyone in the backcountry. Not only was the climbing rough(about three grand) but skiing down, as Smithers put it, “did you guys here and see all those rocks I was jibbin?” Even though he wasn’t on Teles, the beast was shredding! Made me wanna break out my board again…wait a minute, tele love, right J (rough) R!!!
So our first 216.71 feet of verticle lost was combined with exquisite powder turns, acrobatics, devilish laughter, and barking dogs(Oso) who seemed to share in the shenanigans of the fine day! The last 2783.290000 feet of verticle was skiing and riding rock slalom gates, rock hopin, rock jibbin, rock grindin, bush slidin, bush wackin(mind out of the gutter), and…ever seen that survival show on TV with that English dude…that ain’t shizzzit compared to what we lived through today!
Don’t get me wrong, I had a wonderful, beautiful, glorious, and adventurous day out there with with the fellas(canines included)!
Can’t wait to do it again McD
Oh yeah, stay the hell away from the Mt. Rose Proper area everyone, at least for now!
PS - The pic on the left is pic I promised earlier, nothin special, just good ridin!
The other pic is after sharing Tecates with the felleas and Solomon - before the big drop in!

The Bacon Strip
Snowblaster
Kind of like a sandblaster this morning on top of Tamarack. No complaints ’bout being on skis instead of working or changing diapers - Wolfy had some sweet turns in the pockets of fresh, and I had fun despite leaving my poles at home. Hopefully this is the first of an unbroken set of Friday mornings until April that the D.P. crew will be represented in the b/c (this is a call to arms for all you ’strippers).
Check out Wolfy here trying to stand against 60 mph wind on Tamarack Ridge -
The Bacon Strip
Sorry for the ooops - with the biking Grass Valley(that’s a town not a weed farm) thing! I’ll get the picture up soon. I was finally able to shimmy an account(I had to lie, cheat, and thieve to make it happen - I always prevail)…First, I’ve been busy with the holidays. Second, I had serious trouble trying to create my account. And third, I’m a bit challenged when it comes to technology! Maybe I shouldn’t let that be known since I was invited to be a contributor?!
Enough explanations! The tecate toten Bandito is here in the Sierra Nevadas, and it’s dumping out…I believe the resorts reported 4″-6″ this morning and were expecting another 12″-18″ by tonight…I must say it came with a vengence. So wax those skis and boards and head into the backcountry…don’t wanna here any excuses from the peons(grislybikedork I mean geek) who have to work…call in sick or quit - it’s really that simple. keep praying to the snow gods because right now it’s jiving…if the snow ceases then all ya’lls ladies have to strip down to thier b-day uniforms and dance and frolic while I drink my wine and stroke my belly - at my abode of course - no peeping Mcds, geeks, or wolfs either - otherwise it won’t work - seriously!!! Ya’ll dig?! No bull, it really works! Then it cums(sorry for the typo) with a vengence again - the snow that is!
Have a great night everyone, see ya’ll on the mountain…I’ll be on telemark skis…that’s what men do! Ha Ha Ha

feelin’ frisky?
The Cascade Cream Puff 100 is coming together for 2007. For you Strippers interested in the funnest 100 mile mtb race, with excellent support, best be on the game for registration. It fills up mighty quick. Date’s also pushed back till July 8, probably to try and break last year’s high temp record. That’s ok by me, but I may not wear the long sleeve woolie this time…

Word on the street is that the colossal task of organizing the event has changed hands this year. Lookin’ forward to it nonetheless. Thanks for the prior’s, Shiggy.
