Live on Skis--- official thread??
« on: February 11, 2010, 04:51:03 PM »
Any updates from Frostbite Falls??  I can't believe you guys haven't put up some photos yet.  Anyone take a ride on the "pre-event trailer of shame?"  Anyone slapped by a waitress yet?  Come on!  Gotta be some news up there.

Been really busy!  Everybody is getting reacquainted and spreading some bull at the Thunderbird.   What a great bunch these guys and gals are.  Nothing but good old fashion fun!!    The bay is still up for grabs but there has been some hot runners out there.   Mercfan holds the title as of yet but I think things will change back and forth in the next couple of days.     TJ got the ride of shame today getting pulled in earlier today.   We had as big of turnout on Thursday as we did on Friday last  year.    Should be a banner year for turnout for the ride.

Forrest was spotted riding all kinds of sleds today.   Great guy that we all enjoy having around.

Weather is fantastic!  Highs in the 20's and sunshine everywhere.   Trail are flawless and we will be riding the lake and trails this year.   Kecs kove is offering coffee and cookies on the first leg of the ride.   Hot dogs for everyone midway on Saturday.  Still time to load up and come out to meet everyone  Thumbs/ Thumbs/

Clack where ya at??    We have been waiting patiently for you  grin'
Snow sucks!   Time for the golf cart :)

We just got settled into out little hut. It's small, cramped and filthy, but we like it anyway. Wish we could see out the windows though. I will put up pictures later. Got the sleds unloaded, drove them to the t-bird, kidnapped Forrest, and we are forcing him to stay in the hut. There is a small on the floor, next to the dog bed and six feet of boxes, but he's a trooper and thought the space was just fine.  :rolling

Well it seems the cabin crashers were in full force last night. Quite the cast of characters showed up at 3am! Seems to be an LOS tradition.  "cheers

Have fun boys & girls!!
Wish I were there, but I just can't hit them all, as much as I'd like to...
Rog, we've got to go again next year...

Cheers,  Jerry~
