According the "late" great Tupac Shakur, the weekends were made for Michelob. Here in Denver, quite possibly the whitest city in the world, we tend to think that weekends are made for microbrews....and scantily clad women, air-born jello shots, hula hooping eskimoes, naked skiers and, well, straight-up debauchery on the mountain. Lets rewind to April 14, 2007 where the seventh annual Thrift Store Ski Party (a.k.a. TSSP 07..baby) took place at Arapahoe Basin. It was a beautiful sunny day, one of the 300 days of the year where that great blazing star in the sky shines down on our gorgeous state.
Anyhow, I digress. A-Basin is a locals mountain approximately an hour and half from the Denver city limits, nestled between the more popularized resorts of Keystone and Breckinridge. On this day all the crazies come out to dress in 70/80's esque ski clothes, drink free Flying Dog Pale Ale, hula hoop, dance to various dj's and bands, and then ski down the mountain for the coveted 4 ft tall barbie doll.
I would love to go into all the nitty gritty details of the day, but now that I'm a top secret agent working for the feds...I think its best I keep it in my sneakers. But, if you're lucky, next year you too can wear nothing but a man-sized diaper taking shots off of a ski just after finger banging a chicken ( twice). Cross ya fingers....
