YOUR SH1T AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE !
Wanting to meet more like minded 'boarders so I have more people to go riding with, both indoors and for trips to the mountain. Usually go with between 3-8 friends, but how can that compete with 87!!! Gonna be awesome to see us owning the slopes as well as the bars
And, as SquishyBG says, it is when I usually go away and for a similar price, with the added benefit of having loads of other obsessive 'boarders to ride and chat with
I also get to:
- Enjoy Dale (Dashie) getting drunk and sticking up for people rather aggressively;
- Watch Nick fail to get on a lift... with style;
- See Paul damage himself in a new and interesting way (sorry Jacks);
- Marvel at how clean Pocket's outerwear is;
- Take some epic photos of a plethora of riders;
- Go too big and knock myself out.
Hurray!
It pushes me harder with my snowboarding.I go places and ride in a way that I wouldn't if I was on my own.
This year it also means I get some time with my daughter :-)
It's been difficult moving away from home and it's not helped that I'm working remotely so I've been stuck in the flat alot - not been able to make new friends so I've been putting more focus on snowboarding and its fantastic community. Fortunately I've found a new job up here now so looking forward to getting back in the office and being surrounded with people!
A little weirded out about coming along on my own as its not something I've ever done before, but clearly I'm not the only one doing this so I don't feel to bad about it!
For me it's a few reasons; most of my regular boarding mates have all said they can't make our annual trip this year, the others were so undecided it was stupid. So I figured the 'Bash would be the ideal place to havea great holiday and meet some people that I can hopefully board with more in the future.
The fact that three of them changed their mind after I booked and booked too just made me laugh (I think the great deal had something to do with that!) Another two want to come too but were toooo slloooww.
Brett - I hadn't thought about that, but I guess with this many people we will own a bar! You dudes looking forward to seeing my awesome* dance moves?
I can't beleive I've got 4 1/2 months still to wait!

*By awesome, I mean crap.
There's always an excellent vibe, great people and the accommodation and food is usually very good value for the money.
As to why it's been so popular this year, I think there was such a good vibe coming off of last years Bash (with people raving about the resort (Tignes); the fresh powder and the social scene) that it's encouraged a lot more people to give it a go this year. If the snow Gods are smiling, it could be an absolute classic

Haha thats awesome. Why did someone not warn me of what I was letting myself into? I have told him that I am not taking him to a hospital again!
And I am actually thinking of stealing some of pockets clothes this year, will get him drunk then they're mine.
I've met a few folk from SCUK now and have to say they are awesome people, some are coming, some not. Will be good to see them, and meet new folk.
Mainly, an indoor snowslope, whilst decent enough, just cannot compare to a real mountain. I hanker to be back on a mountain.
Same! Looks like we're the only ones missing out this year.
I do love lift fail, and have been guilty of it in the past.

I personally cant wait to see Charlie's new pole dancing moves
Tony B says im a fascist

I'm pleased someone noticed ;)
So... tell me people, why do you think there were so many people up for it this year as opposed to last?
Economy looking better?
Just because we've got twice as many members?
Other reasons?
Hrmm....why am I going???
All of us at Team Pants felt a bit guilty about winning the quiz twice in a row and decided we'd have a year off last year, so we're back again to embarrass ourselves in new (and probably naked) ways
I get to watch Harvey get drunk and injure himself some more (coaches and ice patches esp)
Brett & Milney - a comedy duo better than any other
Martin - poor poor Martin, always has to look after someone the next morning
Dunx - he's my secret male lover (just don't tell the missus)
Rhi - (makes a mental note to bring more smokes as she's bound to steal a load as usual)
harryCambs - I always feel good knowing i'm not sleeping anywhere near him and that some poor people are going to be awake all week xD
Oh, and BEER BEER BEER BEER SNOW BEER SNOW SNOW BEER SNOW!!!
Think that about covers it all really

Mate, I gave up going near those things in '07. There are less embarassing ways to break your neck.

It would have been cool if I'd made it though.
I don't mind nursing the sick or hungover the next day, but it's never the blonde female Swedish nymphomaniac I've always hoped for...
I still looked cooler than the rest of you even while falling off a lift. The key is to do it while wearing skinny pants and denim.
Last year the bash was in Tignes but i went in last week feb, this year am in Morzine last week in feb aswell and thats where your having the bash.
There must be mind games going on somewhere........
