Special Blend Presents "First Chair Last Call" - Mammoth Mountain

Special Blend Presents "First Chair Last Call" - Mammoth Mountain

Mammoth Mountain welcomed the first turns of the season to California, and you better believe that Special Blend was there to hold it down for First Chair and Last Call. Andie Peterson, Caveman Dave, Tony Guerriero, and Charles Woldhuis were all awarded with the head-to-toe setup from Special Blend for their early morning efforts. Two of the winners went big that day however, with Tony getting Mammoth's First Chair for the 10th year in a row, and Charles celebrating his 50th birthday. With soft snow, beautiful weather, and giveaways from Special Blend, everyone in Mammoth was a winner that day. Aside from the burning legs, there wasn't much anyone had to complain about.

The Winners: Tony Gurriero, Andie Peterson, Caveman Dave, and Charles Woldhuis

Early Morning Shredders

Not too shabby, eh?

First Chair Yo! First Chair!

Where ma dogs at?

For AM rider Greg Bretz must not listen to Slayer. If he did, he'd know that "God Hates Us All"

Last Call went down at the infamous Lakanuki, located in Mammoth's Village. The crowd that came out couldn't have asked for a better bar scene on opening night. Karaoke, DJ beats, a re-convergence of friends, the thrill of opening day, a Special Blend product toss, and a free drink or two at Last Call, proved to be a great formula for fun. A huge thank you goes out to Oren Tanzer, along with Mario, Stu, and the rest of the bartenders at Lakanuki for an epic day in Mammoth.

///tm yeah, dude...show us your 'large' bill.

your bill hit total was 487 u.s. dollars-total (prior to tip).

yet, you left a $90 spot (tip)-bringing your cheap-ass to a grand total of $577.00.?

***over-played 'snowboard companies'; i thought you leveraged bitches would be at least flaunting amex black cards (aka the 'jay-z card') to pay your bill in a public domain, such as snowboard-mag.com-and a bill that would be AT LEAST get my hard-ass working shred brothers and sisters an even (and WEAK-yes 20% is cheap)-%20 of the GRAND TOTAL.

what would an extra $7.40 cost a company to make it a (weeaaakkk) %20 total tip? for real?

damn, even in a semi-drunk state, i can see the 'light'....beer.

and to all my l.a. snowboard companies with shows on tv-yeah, we roll large son! bents and all on chromed 28s. fuck you.

fucking lame-tell your socal rep he fucked UP trying to be impressive...and thanks for reminding me why i buy my shit from snowboarders and not 'w' magazine readers.

lumberjackoffspitter

hey lumberjackoff - that was me that put down the bill and paid the tip. I'm jewish, so there is the blame you crusty fuck. The only thing that is weak is the fact that I'm responding to you.

///™ hey ishmial,

next time you need to borrow some money, let me know, and i will wire it to the nearest synagogue.

and i am just fucking with you guys, anyways. ease up for christ's sake.

oh shit, i meant 'for god's sake'-not christ (see that was a joke, because jews don't believe in jesus. joke: ha...ha......ha.)

i think i might show to one of the 'first chair' events dressed as a rabi.

you obviously dont know mammoth

yea so that bar has been bullied and shit onby the owners of the village there... it seems that the village loves to set them selves up and put people right above the br on weekends like this... i was there and the had people with reservations all around the bar... which means they got to close at 1:30... lame but not their fault... and for them to shell out 600 bucks for last call... that means they did it for 20 minutes... that bar had three bartenders goin for 150 people... i'd say they did good... especially for the free loaders like Joe Carter.... love ya joe... i got your lighter bud

lighter gaper!

Good lookin out, Binky.. clean style, as always.. reppin it fo real yo! Eye-wink

So right.. Lakofthenuki has had way too much heat then any kitchen deserves. Its good people trying to suppport a local Mammoth Lakes scene and lifestyle in a safe environment. Then you get the Village coming in after and selling out to people who want to change that lifestyle. Mammoth is better off being that 'lifestyle' in my opinion. As is with Tahoe (which sadly sold out long ago). We need to bring people down a couple levels and mellow the heck out- 'mountain style'. If you don't wanna come to Mammoth and ride and rock out; ride and get a place over by the golf course and quit complaining. Trust me, its nice property and well worth your investment if you can afford it. Then you can enjoy your mountain time quietly and let the rest of us do our thang.

As a Bartender/Server, I can understand LJJ's comment on the tip- yeaa, so its nothin special. However, I'm always grateful for any tip that anyone leaves me. I've also lived in Mammoth and know that any dollar available is just thrown back in the pot for another round for the crew and tip for the Bartender- its always a gift and always appreciated!

Good lookin out, Special Blend.. its nice to see Mammoth tryyin to pop off! (at least someone in Cali is)

Howl At the Moon

What you guys didnt focus on was the fact that caveman dave had his cooler and chair there early morning... you can find him there first chair 90% of the season... and his sick ass Burton Air... come on this guy is real snowboarding.... I think its Parkinsins or something that he suffers from... a true inspiration...

He drinks to mellow out the shakes... he is the fu*k!n man...

lakanuki was weak... that town went to shit when i left... haha
