Blackcomb Closing Day Closeout

The following story is true, but the names were changed to protect the innocent.

Yep, it had to happen sooner or later. After easily one of the best season's in memory,
Blackcomb Mountain closed it's doors for the season yesterday, April 23, 2006. Hard to see it end, with so much snow still up there to be shredded. But we weren't going to let it off easy. So the 'Silly Web Magazine from Whistler that rhymes with hogpotion' and a not-so-random pack of 60 some odd Whistler locals set out to close the season in style - on Blackcomb Peak of all places.

You're sitting innocently at the top of the terrain park, fixing your goggles and prepping for your all-too-serious new trick. You hear 'Rapid Fire Chain Gang' yelled behind you as a pack of 30 freaks in jeans, pink stretchies and garbage bags come barreling into the jumps, all within feet of each other, and a majestic display of spraffies, twisters, flips, spins, froggies and flicketies unfolds.

You're enjoying a casual stroll through the village when some dude with a mohawk comes skiing past you down the pan pacific stairs.

jamie pierreYep, he finally did it. Big Air Jamie Pierre finally quit fooling around with his little 150ft Lincoln Loops, and went for the big one. With perfect snow conditions, he and a barrage of filmers and photographers headed up to a mother of a cliff on Grand Targhee Resort, where he clocked 245 feet of 4 seconds of air time... and didn't land on rocks this time. This is more of a blog post, but it deserved homepage action. Here's some details that have been floating around the media from a press release that was sent out, and we've tracked down an epic newspaper photo we understand was originally scanned by a powdermag user (thanks) for all to enjoy....

Don't Miss - Skied Naked

We realized that it's only 1 month until the annual Gaper Day on Whistler, and we it has been quite some time since we have published any 100% nonsense on the site. We've been distracted with ski trips, competition results, and relevant ski industry news. But fear not, they haven't suckered us in yet. Afterall, Doglotion.com is all about the ruckus and tomfoolery behind freeskiing, so it's time to kick it up a notch. From here in we at Doglotion.com vow to never forget the roots of the mag, with regular posting on the Tomfoolery page about the dumbest things we've seen on skis.
