Sorry about the delay. Part of it was I was busy, part of it is cuz I'm a lazy shit. So here are my 2007 Closing Day Vail pics. Everybody gets dressed to the nines for this final day. It's an odd mix. You get a bunch of the crackers who've been working on mountain all season dressing like whatever popular Will Ferrel movie of the year and a bunch of Eastern Europeans in full mandingo make up cuz they think its cool to be racist.Seriously, total blackface and red lips. Only in Colorado do you not get stoned for this. I'm proud to say I was the only Denim Demon representing on the mountain this day.
So, Closing Day is just everyone just gets mad hizzeled on cabernet or whatever all day and skis and tries to stay up on mountain until the patrol kicks you off. I was straight sipping red bull and vodka out of one of those camelbak backbacks and doing jumps I wouldn't have courage to do if I was sober. Booze makes me bold. This pic of me is in Champange Glade, back in Blue Sky Basin. You gotta travel to get there and this is a hidden stash of pow pow for locals. As you can prolly tell I don't have a legit hawk. I faux-hawked it.Lame I know, but I had to dress up as a giant plum for our final live morning show and didn't have a chance to get things done proper. Don't worry I'll get it done proper before I head back to NYC next week.
So after you finally get forced off mountain, you go an BBQ next to hot tub. As you might guess it's awesome. Notice the Charming Bastards shirt, but more to the point notice the NASCAR-loving Grillmaster Roger's "Ride The Lighting" shirt. We consumed mad meat, watched the Sox hit 4 consecutive home runs, then went to some club where the owner of the local pizza place tried to punch out three bouncers.
All in all, pretty good closing day.
