A-Basin Spring Beach Bash '08

Continuing on the tradition, Shari Post organized the Annual A-Basin Spring Beach Bash for a number of co-workers. Ditching work for a day, all of us enjoyed a fantastic day on the slopes.

Of course - it wouldn't be a Spring Beach Bash without a party on "The Beach". Each year, our "beach" spread gets more and more elaborate - and this was our best yet (portable tables, chairs, blenders, etc.)

The group (most of us anyway) at the top of Loveland Pass

It seemed like it was time to try skiing while videoing...it took a bit to get used to skiing without poles, but overall it wasn"t too hard.

How not to park at A-Basin

This car was high centered on a pile of snow - who knows how long it"d been like this.
