Comments:
Rode with Cuz Jeff, Glen, Brian, Alex, and Tawney. It looks like March in December. Where da F**k is the snow? I think Glen was still drunk from last night. We drank a Sparks as usual and it prevented us from getting hung over. Riding was fun! CJ sucks at snowboarding when he goes last. He rips when I follow him. Further proving my theory that when someone follows you down the hill, you ride better. Glen is riding really well. I just need to get his conditioning up there for Tahoe. Oh yeah I almost forgot the best part, CJ got vacuumed off the quad chair by Mad Jax. He was hanging onto the pole for dear life but got sucked right off the chair. Glen and I laughed so hard. Sorry CJ. We were hoping to meet up with B-Hole. Shelly said Shack was supposed to be here but he didn't show. Where is Greg? Greg sucks! Just kidding Greg we just miss you. We rocked out with Moons & Stars!*

*After taking my boots off and drinking mystery buckets for a couple hours, Brian, Alex, Tawney and myself rode 5 more runs. We should not have been on snowboards and oh yeah I almost forgot I beat Brian in a boarder-X race! I love these guys!

Guest Commentary:

CJ: Lifts suck!! Beer is good!! It's fun to have fun and all these people like to have fun.

Glen: CJ joined the Welch Hoover Club. Matt was screaming "Camera Camera!" I rode OK today in the mush. I think I'll continue the day training for Team Sparks! We started a mystery bucket trend!

Bonnie: A wet day at Welch- Always warm and dry in Madd Jaxx- I'll always have a cold sparks waiting!

Brian: 3 runs no turns- too many mystery buckets, plenty of rain, good friends, PRICELESS! I love these guys!

Alex: it's always too fast hammered! To you all from Alex for those who love this bar from Alex who will be always hammered with you.

Tawney: Well actually my name is Tawny, I usually ride in Idaho but actually Minnesota is a lot of fun! We drank a lot, later riding fast down the bluff. It's weird to write bluff. I never knew what a bluff was until I came to Red Wing Minnesota Welch ski resort. I plan on coming here next year working so I will see you then. If you do got Costa Rica I will show you a good time I promise that! Scuba diving, mountain climbing, canopy in the rainforest, surfing, camping, hiking, windsurfing. I promise you I'm gonna do it all. Tonight was good boarding good breaking me in before I leave to tropics.

The group: WE LOVE BONNIE!!!!
