Gcarve Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Nice water carving. Makes the boots a little soggy if you wipeout (don't ask me how I know this ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_ravens Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 What, no victory photos?!? Link to video for the whole story for those who don't know... http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=346784&postcount=318 John, I think that's an awesome photo of you - if it were me, I'd have that one framed on the wall! Very cool! Nice shot of dredman's pool exit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnasmo Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Oh yeah, I was so caught up in posting pictures poached from Big Mtn Photos that I forgot to mention the back story! It was a field of 63 competing for a $1000 prize. Progressive rounds being made more difficult by gates on hill AND in water and lowering of the start point until farthest skim wins. Winning combo was dredman and a Coiler (NSR 182?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcarve Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Yeah Dave! Nice victory over those two plankers What are you going to do with that $1k? Buy a new Coiler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colintkemp Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Fantastic. What's the water temp.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnasmo Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 What's the water temp.? Frigid. I believe the water comes from the ice covered snowmaking ponds further up the mountain; so just a few degrees above freezing. But the air temp was good -- I took two more runs from the top of the mountain after splashing out of the pond skim. No more ball slap inside the one-piece ;), but was tolerable until my hands froze.

Randy T. Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Our pond skim event is this Saturday and the resort decided to build a double pond because last year was 'too easy'. So they say... I did not make it across last year but I blame that on too many shots of whiskey. This should be interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Oh yeah, I was so caught up in posting pictures poached from Big Mtn Photos that I forgot to mention the back story! Congrats Dave.

OhD Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 We used to do this across a tarn at Mt. Baker back in the 60's when the Austin tow was still there. Cutoffs and work gloves. Lost about half my skin to sunburn one year after sporting a great one-day tan for a week. It's amazing how sssllloooowww late-June snow gets! The "official" Slush Cup got shut down because of drunks falling off the highway afterwards - a major advantage of destination resorts.
