Dinglerema 9


On January 18, I headed up to Mt. Baker with 33 of my closest friends for the 9th annual extravaganza known as Dinglerama. We rented 3 cabins and had as many kegs as cabins. In addition to the usual suspects, we brought some new Canadians into the circle, as well as more work and soccer friends. All in all, it was another success, with many new stories: Scotty's ditch driving endeavors, Dingleromance II, guest appearance by Sponge Bob, cross-dressing Canucks, big ass bruise, Anders's unique sleep spot, Sabrina's trifecta, and the Quiet House.


We were lucky to have some nice weather over the weekend. On Saturday, I snowshoed up a snow covered forest service road with Roy, the Canadians, Kimberley, Nate and Elizabeth, Kevin, Liz, and John. Although it was cloudy, we got some glimpses up to Shuksan. On day 2, I downhilled with Paul, Anders, and JG. A bit windy, but we had a super time. We started skiing around 11:30 and went non-stop until 3:30. Not bad for my first day out in a year. Only one nice wipeout. Nothing painful, but lots of snow inside my jacket. On Monday, we did an easy cross country ski along parts of the same road we snowshoed. The weather was amazing, and we had great views up the river towards Shuksan.
