Ms. R, my partner in crime for the weekend, and voice of Stevens' snow phone, was on her way to pick me up, cram our gear in her car, and head to Mt. Baker for the 20th Legendary Banked Slalom, Yeehaw!!
Well, several yeehaws, cds and gas stations later, we got there. A party was going down at Tex' place, but I knew my hostess was racing the next day and it would be rude to stumble in the middle of the night, knocking down prep'd boards, and what not, so I diligently drove past party-central and into my loft bed
Saturday morning we got to the hill pretty early, did a couple of warm up runs, watched/cheered/photographed my friend during her run, and then we all took off to Baker's legendary backcountry where we had perma-grin inducing powder shots, nice drops, chutes, and more memories for the rocking chair test.
In the afternoon there was a collective case of deja vu, and the Retro race got started, with 17 racers rocking gear from once-back-when, remember the fluorescent pink outfits, the swallow tails, no high backs, jeans... let me tell you, this race had the whole mountain hollering like crazy, hillarious!
