Jerry's working out the kinks of posting a pic of Randy's award winning slush run. In the mean time here's Jerry with the the first runner up slush run:

Thanks Ron and JW for letting me tag along on your trip and for the great photos. The Pinnacle Glalcier is surely a great trip for maximum fun for minimal effort.

Looks like loads of fun ron j, Randy, and JW.
Nice pics in those gallery links!
If this becomes an annual event I'll try to make it to next years. I will be petitioning however for a "boarder" division. Our single surface-area gives us an advantage.

Yeah, BCRider, we were thinking that the annual "slush cup" competition would be a good way for us year-round "streakers" to have some fun and get our August turns in every year with a minimal accumulation of torture points.
Love to have you turn out for the competition next year... And to heck with lobbying for a board division; if your equipment allows you to take the win, so be it!! Kinda makes up for some of the suffering you do on the flats & rolling terrain, right? You'll also avoid the ego shattering "ice water crotch wash" that Randy suffered.
This little patch of heaven will proly still be servicable during your mid-August forray. In fact the last two years we used it for SEPTEMBER turns... check it out here: http://groups.msn.com/WildHeartsSkiing/pinnaclegl9802.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=665
Nonetheless, it's a pittifully small patch for such a trip. We can likely also find some other descents more worthy of your commute if you manage to make it up this way.

What a scream! This is one way to keep cool on a hot day. Wish I could have participated.

Jerry and Ron, great photos! Yet another summer skiing tradition is born. I'm wondering, though, why there are no photos of Ron water skiing??
