Just as the title says I was either drunk, drinking or hungover for 10 days in beautiful Park City, Utah. The All Cal is the trip I went on. It's a week long snowboarding trip that ski and snowboard clubs from all the UC's take. This year I got there early and stayed late, making it the most intense drinking time I have ever had. We played a ton of drinking games like beer die (tons of beer die), flip cup, thumper, and a little beer pong. We also went on a pub crawl, did some dancing, and drank at bars after coming off the mountain. There was a fair bit of spa parties and spa drinking as well. We even found the time to play the Crank 2 drinking game. If you haven't seen this movie, DONT, its horrible, but its funny at how bad it is, and if you are drinking along with friends, its pretty funny. Don't see it alone.

I didn't get a ton of snowboarding in, but did hit some nice powder on Monday, and then a couple hours pretty much every other day I was there, except Thursday. Thursday we decided to stay in and play beer die all day. We met up with some friends, who had already finished 2 bottles of wine and a bottle of champagne (its before noon), and I proceeded to go on a sick beer die run, skunking 3 teams in a row (and they were all pro's). This was quite the feat for me. The special thing about skunking your opponents biz-0 is that they have to do a naked lap around the building, which we quickly enforced. After 3 games of beer die, you tend to get drunk and make mistakes. I let some dice drop but still managed to win 5/6 games that I played that day. As we got drunk during the day we busted out the fake tattoos and all the guys proceeded to get tramp stamps. While I don't have a pic of mine (conveniently) I do have a picture of my friend Mike's.



Isn't that cute!

That night we had a farewell party, which was pretty fun. There was dirty dancing, thumper, and then they announced which school had won (not us-UCSC). I saw something pretty funny when my friend Jil, who had been drinking all day with us, ran behind the bar area to puke into the garbage bucket. The bartenders weren't even mad at her and didn't even kick her out, they said, "Well she looks fine now, she's probably not going to puke again." It was hilarious, and this is morman country too don't forget.

Here is a pic of Park City right before the sun goes down. Its truly a beautiful place. We are all gathering here to play some snow volleyball, which is where you tie your snowboard boots together and play volleyball in the snow. It's very disfunctional.

I wish I had more pics of the mountains, but I never took the camera out while riding, and I spent most of my times indoors with a frosty beer. I will post more pics as they show up on facebook.


The future: Today I pretty much decided I'm not going to PCA this year. It will be the first year in 4 years I haven't gone. It's not that I can't afford the cost, but its going to cost alot, especially including the opportunity cost of staying at home and working. I mean the travel and hotel will be over 7k, and thats for a crappy hotel room. Then it takes 24 hours to get there and back, and once there I will buy into the main event which I won't cash in most of the time, so I am looking at a 20k trip most of the time. It's not sooo bad, but I'd rather avoid the variance especially since my downswing of November. We are just going to find some other vacation at some other time. I hope everyone that is going will have fun for me. I am going to Tahoe Dec-28 - Jan 2nd for New Years, and now it looks like I will be staying at home and grinding some time after that.

Peace Out for now
