The Authoritative Guide to Surviving Glacier

So I am back to talk more smack with a new list of things you must do if you wanna fit in with the Mt. Baker / Glacier locals. Mostly I am talking about people that are my friends so it makes it even more fun.

The Banked Slalom bonfire: Almost as hot as puffy coats. Take notes:


1.    Puffy Jacket, so hot right now. Must also coordinate silver headphones and you absolutely must have Electric goggles with mirrored lenses.
2.    You have to get a board with the wrong top sheet on it. This is very key to        being able to “Bro Down.” If you can get your hands on a board like this you obviously got it to try out the new shape or flex pattern. Very hard to do, but very key.
3.    You have to skate ‘the ramp’. Simple but true.
4.    Also a given, but you must be down with all the local snowboard gangs, the Ruling Retards and the MBBP just for a start.
5.    Get a really old classic car and spray paint all sorts of random things on it. Oh wait it's not just old cars. Paint your Taurus with a beautiful sno camo pattern or better yet paint your tires green and your rims gold.
6.    Drink a lot
7.    Get a dog and smell like him.
8.    Say hello to Atticus, Aaron, Sean, and Steve every time you load up on the lift.    Throwing ‘knucks’ is also important in that situation.
9.    Never go through the park with out your filmer, also know as the human accessory. How embarrassing would that be.
10.    Hang out at the snowboard shop and talk to the guys about what you have planned for the summer and how you were going to work at Windell's but they might be moving the camp over to Europe for the summer.
11.    Be from Michigan. Then get a house and call it the ‘Michigan House’.
12.    Keep $10.83 in your wallet for emergency situations.

That’s all I have to say for today. I hope you come to our neck of the woods soon and see us all act like idiots, weirdos and what have you.
