Bruizzapalooza 2010 Thanks

Just wanted to shout out to everyone on the Sierra staff for putting this together, was another super successful event, even though it was 3x the size of last years you guys pulled it off.

I cant speak for everyone on the trip, but Keith, Eric & I had a great time.  The hotel was super, the people were good, and riding was amazing.

Bruizza brought the powder again, he is some sort of weird southern lucky charm.  Keep him around I suppose.

Looking forward to Tahoe. 

so you guys did end up gettin some snow huh?
how much?

Yeah, it was pretty nice coverage, seemed like a lot more than 8 inches on several parts of the mountain and in the tree's. 

Came home to 15 inches of fresh at Mt. Hood Meadows, but I'm too tired to even attempt getting on a board.

Matt, I would like to thank you for coming, but I can't since you wouldn't wear the shirt and do the wolfpack speech.

Riding in CO was definitely a good time!!! Maybe next time I take a black diamond tree run it won't take me half hour+ to get through it. Fun times all around for sure!

Fun time guys. Can't wait for the next one.

Damn too many people got broken at Brupaloo.. WTF?

Lessons from Bruizzapalooza
1. Don't feed the Rocheezy whiskey (originally proposed by bastimret).
2. Don't let Matt near shiny things or he'll buy them (but not before trying to negotiate them down from an already ridiculously low cost for being "chipped" after two days of on-site use).
3. Hanging with red necks is fun, even if their accents make them sound like they're going to throw on white pointy hoods and lynch you.
4. My first instinct after watching a Halfricans bounce off one tree into another is asking whether he's ok and then laughing my ass off.
5. Those damn Quebecois like to lick people who reach across them for chicken wings.  Beware of the Zoe.
6.. Tat Chow's gf is apparently ok with settling (BIZAM BITCH).
7. shtook THE CHINESE.
8. Tat Chow and I need Steff around so we can truce and consolidate our hatred against one common enemy.
9. The Steamboat Grand apparently thinks it's logically consistent to rent large luxury hotelrooms that have decent-sized flat screen HDTVs, full kitchens, a gas-powered fireplace, and foot-tall cast-iron elk, BUT NO FREAKING BEDS.
10. Big Mike is awesome.
11. Hanging with the Sierra Crew is so much fun.

sounds like me and steff missed a lot of fun, but like Matt said see you guys in Tahoe

Few more:

12. Philwiles shtooking kills it.  Some of the upcoming graphics in the Sierra line are absolutely insane.
13. If you're riding in the trees and see a small opening that your brain tells you is sketch but you decide to hit anyway because you see some tracks running into it, follow your first instinct unless you want a face full of branches and the line from hell, just like that first mother shtooker.

Holy injuries!  I hope everyone's okay!?  Good times had by all regardless huh?

Shaka... maybe you shouldn't email me where those awesome trees were... apparently they were totally sketch!

Huh?  The ones on Pony were sketch the first day since there wasn't much coverage, but on the second day they were absolutely sick.

I forget the name of the run we ended up lapping the second day, someone on here has to remember what lift that was.  The tree's were epicly awesome.

Forget the big jumps...I got rocked in the baby park but mostly in the mega pipe...who knew pipe riders were that talented? Levi and Chad, next time around we totally need to take some laps.

Originally posted by kmorrison #15 For every event, it should be mandatory to have atleast 1 Hummer present; thanks again for cramming us all in the car Wingnut...heal up soon buddy.

No problem on the ride, I'm just glad I could help out. 

I've got the new cast on now have to wear it for 4 weeks

Originally posted by shakazulu12 Don't tell anyone, but me and Gifted got a run in on a new prototype board that has collision avoidance radar built into it. It will avoid tree's and other riders automatically for you, and adjusts itself to float over any conditions.  Its a joint collaboration between Capita and Subaru

Are you sure Union isn't on that too?

Of course it had Union bindings on it.  The teleportation button wasn't working right though.

Call up customer service...I'm sure they'll take care of that one right away!

TaiGuy, if i'm thinking of the same feature in the large park at the top i am pretty sure the idea is to use it as a hip jump into a tranny for the first kicker.

Originally posted by kimchijajonshim Yea, I think that's the idea.  I was super confused when i saw skier after skier hit it and just pop up onto the tabletop, but I think it's designed to be a hip.

Originally posted by GUTH Originally posted by kmorrison Levi and Chad, next time around we totally need to take some laps. yeah.. so sunday we all leave together set out to ride together.. im waiting for you and everyone at the top of the Gondola and you guys take off! way to blow it.   we could have had something..   hope the sholder is ok.   next time

What, I totally didn't head out with you guys. And next time, laps are necessary. Shoulder is doing better, perks are helping.

Levi, we'll always have something and you know that. It's just a matter of time before we embrace it.

With all these -palooza injuries I think SS should ship me to all the events to be the official crew physical therapist.

Glad you guys had fun!!!

I had an absolute blast with everyone this weekend. Definitely awesome getting to put faces to names. Thanks again to Mike and everyone else who put this thing together, you went above and beyond!

Ugh, sounds so fun, wish I could've gone.

Mine definitely wasn't as bad as Stass, this is me just hours ago in the Dr's office with my new cast
