4/23: Northstar Closing Day Tailgate Party.

[Unpiste]

Corn is OK. Asparagus - OTOH, .
On the "regular" thing, we are men. We are tough.

I have to respectfully disagree on the asparagus. (Corn is good to, but asparagus is a whole other story.)

I've been a little sad for the past month and a half or so missing the asparagus season (seriously) with all the good skiing every weekend. I'll happily take some off of someone's hands (with reasonable compensation possible) if that should become necessary.

We will be there at opening bell. My wife is still getting her ski legs back and i like firmer snow if anyone wants to meet up earlier.

You are welcome to meet up earlier. We will be conveniing at True North in the Village about 8:15. Whoever comes retro, gets the perverbial cookie..or ear of corn..

I'm not old enough to have anything retro

Then you are young enough to carry our stuff. And no perverbial cookie or ear of corn.

Man, I can believe I skied with a vegan.

Asparagus is marinated in olive oil, salt and pepper - ready to go! Your pee will smell cool. ..Corn is trimmed with some husk left on......

.other stuff I can bring: st.patricks day themed plastic cups, relish, half eaten bag generic "Doritos", lots of plastic spoons and some knives....I also found some meat to bring! Does anyone want a slab of grilled spam!?!....

OK, time to get constructive.

Wrap some bacon around the asparagus to hide it. Drizzle it with some lemon thyme vinaigrette after it comes off the grill and no one will know it's a veg. Bacon fixes everything.

Spam is good. The state meat of the proud state of Hawaii. Stick some sliced pineapple on top and drench the whole thing with pure Vermont maple syrup and voilà - a vintage classic.



Make you feel like you are in Hawaii.

Parked at Northstar preferred parking area (behind Village express). Free for closing day.

Grabbing a quick (?) breakfast at Copper Lane next to Tacos Jalisco now. Hope to meet up with you all at the top of Zephyr at 10am.

(For aprés, ended up getting bottle of El Jimadore tequila silver and some paper shot cups)

It was great to meet everyone in person. What a wonderful community that @Philpug and @Tricia have built.

Thanks to Phil and Tricia for an awesome day. Cool to meet more ski people in real life!

I'll be at alpine meadows for my last day of the season tomorrow. Let me know if you want to do a couple runs together.... hoping to go back to ny with a decent goggle tan...
