Best threads of the '07/'08 ski season.

[ski diva]

Here's a trip down memory lane --

What were your favorite threads of the '07/'08 ski season? Which do you think was the funniest? The most informative? Which went off on the most incredible tangent? What was the best trip or gear report?

Post links, if you can.

This should be an interesting thread, all by itself.....

I think Hen in Pool thread by In the Clouds has to be one of the funniest and most bizarre threads this year.

+1 for the Hen in Pool!

 

[tradygirl]

For bizarre threads, the Hen in the Pool takes the cake for sure.

I think the A-Basin Divas Gone WILD thread wins for most entertaining/giggle factor.

Another one that made me cry with laughter - "on the lift".

I know I'm missing some fabulous TR's and funny moments, but those stick out for sure.

Ditto that^^^^

Trip report has to be:
Moonlight Hike and Ski Buttermilk - Skigirl27

One of the most inspiring threads has to be, from SkiSpirit Regarding her Self defense classes

I want to add that I think one of the funniest pictures on the boards this season is mollmeister's "death wish baby" in the bookshelves. It blows me away that he was able to get himself into that situation.

In my very brief time here, my favorite by far was the A-Basin Divas Gone WILD trip report! That was the thread that really made me want to get to know all you wild, crazy, and hilarious ladies!

Gotta say, though, I LOVE Death Wish Baby! So funny! Sometimes I wish DS got himself into things like that for the pure entertainment factor, but most of the time, I'm just grateful that he's not a climber...

I haven't laughed this hard or been this inspired in quite some time. My hat's off to all of you and thanks for summing all of these great threads up for us newbies. I'm not sure I'll ever be the same.
This would be me skiing some of your terrain ....but maybe one day!

 

[Native Vail Gal]

I gotta say, one of my favorite threads was your well wishes to Mr. NVG and I in December for our Wedding.

I still read it....and it still makes me smile/cry! I just love you ladies!

These are all great threads.

But how could we forget the skiing banana?

I nominate for category "Sit-com Calamity" (with good outcome):

I love you NannyMin ! We could add soooo many more threads to this , but, they are ALL threads involving You ! So I will make just 1 nomination because this one could have really sucked, but you of course came through with your survival spirit & laughter ! And it should win this category because we had no worry in it, all was said, done, survived & humorous before we heard about it !

Ya know, when I was going through the calamity phase, my mom always called me "Calamity Jane" ... I finally outgrew it. Then I went through the "Everyone else's Calamities Surround Me" phase (decades worth). I'm thinking with your resourcefulness & survival skills, you need to hook up with Mollmeister's youngest child just about now.

 

[RachelV]

My votes:
- Wet Cold Hen (obviously)
- Skiing Banana - "I don't like that skiing banana" get me every time
- tradygirl's Kessler Peak trip report - awesom e photos

 

[Robyn]

Wow, you're right, NannyMin does seem to be involved in a lot of the funniest threads huh? Wonder how you manage that? I imagine this weekend will add a few more of them.

 

[IntheClouds]

Funniest predicatments for sure ! But also , some of the Best times & situations. NannyMin is a testimony of enjoying the best life has to offer, as well as experiencing ,,,, well,,, not sure how to term it. NannyMin moments ? events ? Surely someone can coin a new appropo term here.

Not sure anyone can forget that thread. Makes me laugh whenever I think about it. The wet hen, well , that did become a free for all & I won't ever forget some of the twists it took !

Thanks DeAn! I'm glad to hear that it is a "phase"! Does it still qualify as a phase if it has lasted for 34 years?
