What was happening? Where did this skiing come from? Why was spring so backwards, inside out, and upside down? Who cares! It was time to SCHUSS chutes.

    Nice T.R.! A mixed bag of unusual lines, April variable days and shared photo credits, I like. Corn to be had tomorrow, but does Old Man Winter return for the end of the week!?

    Double-fisting hot dogs and Greg sporting a white farbag all rolled up into one TR? I never thought I’d see the day.

    “Lines that are usually too full of gaper-eating-krumholz to hold snow….we’re actually still too full of gaper-eating-krumholz (and gapers)”

      thanks man… I hear Ullr likes splashes of PBR… go up to your closest patch of snow and splash it with some PBR… then wash your car…and be sure those snow tires are OFF

    Awesome. Just awesome. The only thing not awesome about this TR is the fact that just a few pixels away from each click to the next page, I was forced to stare at photos of Icebreaker Brief man. I am scarred forever and probably won’t be able to hike Mansfield ever again without thinking of a guys crotch. Ick.
