Cabin Fever @ Mammoth '09 aka Spam & Eggs Weekend

This past weekend I headed up to Mammoth for Cabin Fever with Usual Suspects LA. We had a beautiful 3 story cabin.  There were also other groups of friends up there the same weekend with their own cabins, but everyone was busying doing their own thing.  I wish we all could have meet up and partied!  

Anyways, it was my first time to Mammoth and my first time going snowboarding.  I was super excited but a bit nervous at the same time.  All I knew was that I was probably one of the best dressed snowboarders since I was sponsored by DC.  HAHA

Thanks to Keith (DC Life) who hooked me up with a stealthy black outfit, and a dope white snowboarding jacket for me to keep.  Thanks bro!
We left Friday morning for our 6 hour excursion.  I drove most of the way while everyone was knocked out, but luckily for me I had DJ Mark Marcelo's "The After-Party: 90s Bedroom Mix" to listen too!
I saw the end of this rainbow but there was no pot of gold at the end.  =(
6 hours later, we were 3 miles away from Mammoth Lakes!
Samantha aka Sammie x John aka Ibay greeted us when we arrived.  This is a cute picture of them!  Aww...
"Hey Ibay!  Did you want to jump into my king size sleeping bag?" -TK

"I was just thinking about it..." -Ibay
A short trip to the market turned into a 2 hour journey.  Its a long story but basically we had to get chains so we weren't slipping and sliding on the roads.... Blah blah blah...  Luckily for us, Carlos is McGyver!
Finally we made it back to the cabin to find the rest of the crew had just arrived.  
So Super Stus: Sammie x Alfredo x Harold
We played Mad Gab the first night.  Shit is hilarious!  For example, "Up Racked Hick Gulch Oak" is "A practical joke"... Its hard to explain, but its a fun game!
It was a spam and eggs weekend... HAHA.  Thanks Sherlie!
Shots of Crown!

Welcome to Mammoth!  I was pretty nervous since it was my first time, just getting off the lift was a bit tricky because I didn't know what to expect.  I didn't fall, but Alfredo did!  HAHA.  My first time down the slopes took a minute and a few falls, but I was quickly getting the hang of it. 

I saw little kids, probably 10 years old just bombing down the slopes, going off jumps with no fear.  I kept thinking, "Where is the fear!?  Where is the fear!?"  Geez... They were all really good, or really fearless!

After my first run, I started gaining confidence.  I started carving and bombing down hills.  But I got overly confident and tried going off a jump on my 4th run and ate shit!  I landed on my tailbone and just laid there for about a minute.  Man, that shit hurt!  HAHA
Don't fall!
Alfredo x TK 
Ibay x Sammie

I love snowboarding!
Valentine dates: Shanara x Alfredo...  Its gonna be a fun weekend!  I can't wait!
FUN TIMES!
Once we got back to the cabin, Shanara, Harold, and I jumped into the hot tub to rest our muscles.  Check out the extension...
WTF?
WTF x 2!?  HAHA
De Car Tour 2009
Let the party begin...
Happy Birthday Abel!
While some of the other guys played poker downstairs, we played a hilarious game of Kings Cup.  We were all getting ignorant, sorry if we left you drunken Facebook videos... HAHA
Rules: No using names, no pointing, no cussing, every time you drink you must remove the little green man off your cup, clap you feet, say "Hummmanu Hummmm", and drink with your left hand.  It was ridiculous!
Guess who got the 4th and final King!?
HAHA!
Afterwards, we started doing witchcraft.  I don't know about this...
Ashy (toe) knees!
Where is West?
I still don't believe it!
Thats cute!  Ian, what are you whispering into Magic's ear?  HAHA
HAHA... No homo!  I love Allen (Usual Suspects LA)!  We're just playing Taboo!  I was checking to make sure he doesn't use the Taboo words... 
We got into an intense game of Taboo... Guess who came back and won!?
Our team!
Loranie sealed the deal with her 7 card round.  Good job girl!
Time for some more poker!
We ended up staying up till 5AM.  I was in and out of naps, getting drunken phone calls, and going on Facebook.  

The next morning we cleaned up and headed to the Breakfast Club down the street.  We were all tired of spam and eggs.  It was time for some real food!
Table #1
Table #2
It was definite fun times.  I wish we could have meet up with everyone else in Mammoth, but its all good.  Thanks Ibay for organizing Cabin Fever.  I'm really glad we all went.  Lets do it again soon!  

Supposedly I won the award for "Cabin Fever", but I'm not sure if thats a good thing.  I wish I could show you why, but those pictures are inappropriate.  HAHA.  See you guys back in SoCal!

Here's a nice picture I snapped on our way back to SD.  I see the light...
Time to get ready for another exciting and adventurous weekend in LA!
