So is the new manger open to renaming runs? O’Malleys Alley is used by Decksters yet officially un-named. Let’s get Dusky Bowl, Ellingston, R&R, and Big Rib back too. Perhaps if they carve a new run on the Far East it could be the Tail of the Cat?

Hey there Decksters! Anyone looking for some new boards? I ordered a brand new pair of 2016 Head Super Shape Titans (google that) with Head PRX12 bindings at a smoking deal of $487 (+tax) in a 177cm. When I opened the box they were 170cm even though Head shipping carton said 177 on outside. The 170 has a 14.3 turn radius and frankly I wanted the longer boards for longer radius. I can return these for free in the next 30 days but thought maybe someone else may want a good deal on some new boards. Next cheapest I have found these new was $599. Anyone interested let me know soon. 2six2 506 4117

Shout out to Eli and Chris Pingle. Elie was skiing and noticed some money under the chair lift. Chris climbed down the bank and got it for him.

Lets all look for cash around the hill this year and put it towards the memorial. Thanks Eli And Chris..very cool.

Wow, where did the winter go…The sun is shining in the window so it brings thoughts of golfing, hiking, biking and of course a Summer Deckster Party. yes, we will be having the second annual “Summer Daze” thanks much to Andy Oliva and family for letting us take over there awesome place. It will take place on Saturday, August 1, 2015. So make sure you save the date; more information will follow as plans unfold for another great Deckster Event. I’m sure Lars will start the day off in his Knickers and a little golf. I know all that joined in last year had a blast, even if you don’t golf you can join everyone. Follow-up to “Turns for Tom”….another Huge “WOW”, what a great tribute to Tom; with everyone’s efforts we raised $9,207.00. Tom Riordan, Bill Becker, Andy Oliva and I met with John O’malley last week and I was handed a check for an additional $5.000. It was agreed upon that we will establish a memorial/scholarship fund and we will have another “Turns for Tom” next year. Still working out logistics of if we can have it at the hill again or if it will be in the new shelter. Scholarships will be given to kids to help fund skiing. If you are interested in being a part of the team to work on next year’s event and/or the memorial let me know. Also send me designs, thoughts on a shirt for the summer get together. Again all funds raised from the selling of the shirts will go to the scholarship fund. Think Snow… LOL Sally

Decksters… Get your season 2014 DVD! Contact Sally or myself. We are requesting a donation to the Memorial Fund of say $10-20. I know we have been harping on donations, but please keep in mind we need to reach our goal of $4,000 by the end of March. I have been providing these DVDs to everyone free of charge for the last 5 years. Yes I know there is a raffle and charity race still to come, but we need another $2,500 to reach our goal. The shelter with the "Deck" is not just a memorial, but a lasting contribution to the whole community. It may also be a starting point for additions like a bench or picnic table at the shelter or whatever else we might want to raise money for in the future. So please help us reach these goals. I took your suggestions and included all previous Deckster flicks (except TomCat Tribute still available separately) on one DVD.

We need to get the final plans together for the fund raiser for Tom’s Memorial; would like input from all Decksters. Who ever is interested in helping to plan this please be at Granite Peak on Sunday; January 5th at 11:00. Please let me know if you plan on attending; if this date does not work for the majority we can change it. Thoughts so far: Event Name: “Turns for Tom” Raffle; we already have people and companies that will donate. What we need: Ideas for a shirt design; What kind of turns do we want to do; fun obstacle race; slow race, vertical feet race….??????? Let’s make it fun….. Tom’s family is matching dollar for dollar on whatever we raise. I have talked to Vicky is she is on board with us doing this at the hill; We will look at doing it the first Saturday in March; I will be meeting with her after our meeting to discuss what we came up with and what we would like to do. If you would like to go with me let me know. I am sure you are all feeling as I am; something is missing this year….we need to pull together and keep Tom in our Memories; this Memorial is one way we can do it. See you on the hill;

We had snow on the ground this morning, the season will be in full swing soon enough. Remember the Decksters are going to start this season big by attending the Warren Miller film at the Grand Theatre Nov. 15 in group formation. After the film there will be music, prizes, consumables and of course fun! The party goes until midnight. If anyone needs a ticket check with Sally.

So, Decksters, are ya all ready for an epic season?! Hopefully everyone has recovered from Deckster Daze#1 and the inherent numbing sensations of both ski mind and ski body muscles due to the lack of frozen hydrotherapy not available in the warmer months of our fair state. Let's make it a good and safe season and rip it both onslope and off, eh? Can't wait for the Deckster movie outing at the Grand just to be among my chosen peer group. The fever is building, the cure is near! Are you ready to RUMBLE!?!?

Update on Toms Memorial Fund. Tom R., Bill, Andy and I met to discuss the memorial and direction to go. For 10,000 we can have naming rights to the new deck. We will be planning variousness fund raisers to help with this. Stay tuned for how you can help..and of course at anytime money can be sent to me. We currently have around 1100..that is not counting another 3000 that will be coming our way. The money is safely tucked into an account. Also Tom will be talking to John to see about getting the skis and banners. Any thoughts on fund raiser opportunities let us know. Also thanks to Toms wife Mary Kate for taking minutes for the meeting. If anyone wants a copy just let me know. Think Snow...

Hey there, Decksters! Just wondering if any thoughts/plans have been made to mount Tom's skis to the deck at GP? It would be a great tribute and I will talk to Vicky when I pick up my season pass in the near future. I'd like to laminate a head shot between two pieces of Lucite and have the skis mounted where we could see them from the bar like the Cat is going on a run soon. Any ideas from the rest of you? We need to do this in a respectable, tastefull, timely manner, (before the season starts, hopefully). See you real soon....

Thanks Andy & Sal for all your fine work in the planning and execution of Decksterpalooza aka Summer Daze! What a huge success! I would never have found my way back to camp without that ski signpost on the Rib River! Next year, to lighten your burden, I nominate Jeff & Bill's flying drones to do most of the work, if they can just figure out how to make them mix bloodies and drop loads of firewood without crashing. See you next year!

Hey Ripnsal! Count be in for a ticket. I don't really care which seat as long as I don't have to sit next to Lars, Bison or Rickster! OK, just kidding. But who has the best stuff to pass around? Anyway, see you all at DecksterPalooza. I'm bringing a kayak instead of golf clubs, so if any of you want to join me on the mighty Rib River, I encourage you to do the same. Maybe we'll find our way to Trails End or someplace that needs a few Decksters to get the party started. I plan on camping out, too, so Sally get those pancakes on the griddle and I'll help with flipping them over. If one lands in my mouth, it was just a simple twist of fate.

It is getting closer, here are the final details for the deckster summer party. So far we have 40 people that have replied they are coming, I'm sure more will be showing up that have not replied so we will have a large group. We have a total of 12 people saying they will be on the golf course at 10:30. We also have a total of 20 people staying overnight and I'm sure that number will grow. :) Bring a dish to pass and whatever your beverage choice is. We will have Pulled Pork and Turkey Sandwiches, Kim is bring buns, Katie is bringing Bloody Mary stuff for the breakfast gang. I will be flipping pancakes or something for breakfast. If you golfing make sure you say you are a Deckster for the Deckster Discount. To get to party go past Carmies and past the Assisted Living Home and look for a pair of skis on your right. It is the first driveway after the Assisted Living Home. Then follow the signs to the party ground. If you have any questions contact Andy or I. If you have not RSVP'd but are coming please let me know. See you soon!!!

I bought a block of 20 tickets for the Warren Miller Show that is on Nov. 15th at the grand. Show starts at 6:30, it's also opening day at GP so you can start the day skiing and end it watching a great show. Eight tickets are already taken so have 12 left. Seats available are: Row O - 5, 6,7,8; Row P - 3,4,5,6 or Row R - 3,4,5,6. You can look on the Grands website for seat rows. If these sell and I get enough that want more I can get another set of 20 others ticket sales for the general public go on sale Aug. 12. You can let me know your seat selection and then pay me at the party or send me a check. Cost is $16.60, regular cost was $18.00 but saved by buying a group of them.

Decksters, put the Warren Miller event on your calendars! After the Summer Daze party this will be a perfect warm up event. Beth and I will skip the showing at the Pabst and join all of you. They will want a big turnout to keep coming back. It is a fun event, you get free Skiing Mag subscription, lift tix coupons, and chance for lots of free stuff, (I got my season pass there one year). The crowd usually gets pretty toasted and wild at the Pabst Theatre, but we can top it!

In case of rain or just because we will have fun board games, cards and maybe even dice. And remember just because of rain does not mean we do not party, we just do it inside. We will have pulled pork and turkey sandwiches so you do not need to worry about grilling and can eat when hungry. Bring a dish to pass and Alcohol; we will have a free will offering for the sandwiches. Jeff said he is buying 1/4 barrell. Camping is available and encouraged. YOu can set up whenever you want; if you want to come and set up and stay Friday night you can. Sunday morning Breakfast will consist of a "Bloody Mary Bar" pancakes, waffles, ect. If you want to come by boat and don't know how to get there from the water call for directions. For those in a car drive past Carmies, driving range and the assisted living home.

To The Decksters It is difficult putting into words what it meant to us, Tom’s other family, having your presence and support at Tom’s funeral. Meeting each of you and hearing you tell of your memories of Tom gave us great comfort. Tom often spoke of his friends at the hill. We see now that it was so much more than the skiing that brought him to Granite Peak. We find comfort knowing he spent his time there with truly wonderful friends, friends who not only knew his passion for the outdoors, skiing, and a good laugh, but friends who cared so deeply for him. For that we are so thankful to each of you. Thank you as well for the beautiful floral arrangement. It wasn’t lost on any of us how much it resembled a snowy mountain, maybe not unlike Granite Peak this past Christmas morning with it’s six inches of fresh powder. Tom was always up for a good joke. Just this past summer he was talking about Yogi Barra quotes. One he found particularly funny was, “If you don’t go to their funeral, they won’t go to yours.” We believe he is still with us in spirit and hope you will remember him on some of your runs down the hill, as you enjoy the fire on the deck or when you’re having a good laugh next season. Not all of us are skiers, but we would love to join you on the deck sometime for a fire, a beer and a little laughter in Tom’s memory. Sincerely, Beth, John, Mike and Tracy (Karlos) O’Malley

Also exciting is Sally will be meeting with the "Friends of Rib Mtn Foundation" soon to see what type of memorial we can do for the Cat with everyones donations. Anyone that did not get the Deckster Tribute to TomCat DVD contact Sally if you want to donate (maybe you loved it and want to donate more?). Also I will throw this out there, anyone missing a Deckster DVD (there are 5, State of Decksterity, Decksteria, Shaken or Deck Stirred, Higher Education for the Deckster Nation, and Trials and Deckster Tribulations) contact me at 2six2-506-411seven. For an additional donation (plus shipping and handling) I will get them to you. Not trying to make money here, all money donated thus far is going to memorial, Beth and I are covering the flowers and cost of tribute DVDS, we just want to raise enough for a proper memorial.

You can pitch a tent, bring in your big camper or sleep under the stars. The Rib River is right there so if you want to Kayak, boat in, wade in the water the option is yours; Just no peeing in the river. ƒº¡¨ ƒº In case of rain there is a awesome garage (actually I would call it a home that we can party in.) And for you women there is indoor plumbing. There is access to a fridge and a stove if needed. There is even a sink with running water for the men to do the dishes. It will be a BYOB and bring whatever meat you want to grill and a dish to pass. All the ice you want will be supplied. Will start at 2:00 with games and fun; any yard games you have please bring.

I am , like you all, beside myself with the passing of our Skipper. The only thing that has given me comfort and support has been the shared burden of our grief. Without your love and support, it would have been unbearably miserable. Tom, kind of was like our common hub that brought us all together in this fantastic ski family that I am so thankful and proud to be a part of. It wouldn't have happened without him, but it will always be his legacy to go on with life and do what we do best, celebrate life with friends skiing, drinking, and having more shared fun than so called normal people will ever know. Thank you, Tom, and thank you all. My life is fuller for it. You all rock and I love you all.

Oh...for a proper Irish wake to send off Tomcat. For everyone. I quote, "In Ireland, upon the death of one in humble circumstances, the body, laid out and covered with a sheet, except the face, and surrounded by lighted tapers, is “waked” by the friends and neighbors. After vociferous lamentations, food and whiskey are indulged in, commonly leading to noisy and even riotous demonstrations. The social rite highlights the idea that the loss is one of a social group (including unruly ski gangs) and affects that group as a whole. All the efforts of the Roman Catholic clergy toward the suppression of this pernicious custom have proved unavailing". I ask each who reads this... would not Tom O'Malley approve of pernicious custom? We just borrow the body for a few hours, find a fucking barstool somewhere to prop him up, and roll out the banner...yeah, we can fix it. Thursday night or Friday? J O

The wetter the better! Well for the 1st two hours. What a surprise came in to dry off and could sit at the bar on Bar Stools on a Saturday. While we waited for the rain to move through and our clothes to dry they (Bison, Sal, Matti, Abbi) made me take advantage of those Stools! Kind of sad, but it's time to move on to the next season. So with that I wish my Winter-time friends a Great and Safe Summer....see you next November!!!

It was great to be back on the boards, unfortunately I probably "overworked" the knee and need to give it a rest this weekend, Planning on the last two weekends. Also unfortunately I was unable to submit a Deckster video to Warren Miller by deadline. They have a strict copyright policy as they are going to be showing the top videos during intermissions of Warrens new film across the country. I reworked Shaken or Deck Stirred to the live version of "Invincible" as the band (OK GO) owns the rights to it and did give me permission to use it. For the "Bond" portion I need MGM's permission which is going to take longer. Same with UWRM's "Rock the Nation". So sorry, but hopefully all will be ready for next year.

The Decksters really raised the cultural level of the Peak last Sunday when we listened live to WPR and Beethoven on the Deck (featuring Beth's soprano). This should definitely make it onto Vicky's future calendar of annual events! "Culture Day at G.P." What do you'all say? Rock on!

Checked w/Warren Miller on length as there are some posted longer than 2 min. They are excepting up to 5 min. so I am thinking "Shaken or Deckstirred" or "UWRM" (class in session portion w/burning man) , the "Decksterity" I submitted to a contest already and relinquished the rights.

Jeff, it's hard to choose, but the original Decksterity video gets my vote for the 2 minutes-or-less contest. Maybe it's Eck's spacesuit, or perhaps Michele's ass. Who knows ?
See you soon for the March deckdaze extravaganza. The Northern Deckster contingent sez high to you all from Blackjack. Bison, Dean, Ann, Tom, Andrea, me, and who knows who wuz there last Saturday for some serious tailgating action. Hope the Peak wuz was a happening place, too.

Sorry for all the posts. Last year the Cheddar Shredders took the Decksters to a national level. Way to go Team Deckster!!! Just got an e-mail from Warren Miller that they are having a "Hometown Hills" video competition. Hmmm, I think we need to get the Decksters out there on the national level for that also! Let me know your thoughts, as there is only one entry allowed per person, and it must be two minutes or less. Looking back, the first one "State of Decksterity" the third "Shaken or Deck Stirred" and the fourth, "Higher Education for the Deckster Nation" may be the easiest to edit down to 2 minutes? Have to submit to Warren Miller by end of March, and it will require your voting. Let me know your thoughts, this is a team (gang or state of mind) that the nation needs to be aware of (got that Chuck)!!!

Thank you Brother Abby for the compliments. This is turning into a cult classic for us Wausonians, but this year more than ever, I will need all of your help to keep it going. Please take lots of pictures and video, save it to jpeg or mpeg computer files and somehow get it to me for this years flick. I can have surgery now and may be good to go the last two weeks of the season, or try to ski half ass and wait till season is over for surgery. Not happy about either, tough decision as skiing needs to be Deckster Balls to the Walls (or Lips to the Nips) fashion! I see a theme for this year in the new (old) no carry in policy (Decksters rebel!).

While supply lasts and some lips and assholes thrown in too. BYOB, I'll bet you think that means (bring you own Bar stools), no it means something to drink. No Deckster will be turned down, then I'll have a captive audience to listen to the story about my boots being cut, Bison will have to hear it again. See ya Sat.

How about we get one of those long poles like the Nascar pits use to direct the driver into the correct spot! Put a # on it and wave it over the bar when refills are required at our pit area! Can't you see Sue jumping over the bar with bottles in hand, 15 seconds to refill all four corners!

The "bench, cave, dynamite shack, pump house, quarry" all havens and safe houses of the past must now be reactivated and stocked with emergency provisions.

Sure does feel WEIRD sitting back away from the bar with all the moms, dads, and kids in what Lars refers to as the day care center. But look at the money that Charley and Miss Vicky doesn't get from me. The DECK or the Upper Deck, that's were it's at anyway. I'm beginning to think she really doesn't want us around.

Oooh, I bet that Miss Vicki liked that. Raise the prices, kill the atmosphere in the day care center. Must not want my money. Those well heeled flatlanders can idle at their saved tables with their families, coolers and picnic hampers all weekend long. I really don't care. Just put the heaters back on the deck and I'll be fine! Oh, and shovel the slippery snow out there before some lawsuit minded newby has a tragicly expensive slip and fall. Let the bonfires be lit, damn the smoke anyhow! A little ashes just makes that 5$ burger taste like the Wisconsin outdoors! And sitting on a snow covered lift chair is just part of the Peak experience! Enjoy! It's only money!

Right on, Lars ! My only comment... Every year we Decksters derive great entertainment value from the amazing f*ckups that lie in store for us in the new season. The barstool fiasco is only the latest in the series. I mean, how else would we get to experience Dr Kenny's megaphone antics: "Attention bar ! Attention bar ! Tables number 6 and 7 require alcohol immediately ! Attention ! Attention ! This is your final warning !"

Welp, another fine ski-son is upon us. I hope we all have a safe and insane time of it. The point of contention this year, as always, is the amenities being up to par or not. They're not, and, they'll never be what we'd like them to be. They've given us such a nice place to ski and have fun that I feel the rest doesn't matter. They only have one nice room with views and that's where people are gonna congregate at whether we like it or NOT! I, for one, think that the bar crowd was better off in the basement. But, with the current set up, what's a Deckster to do? Well, deck it and tailgate, of course. I may not practice gun control, but there is CONCEALED CARRY. Face it my bros and sisters, we are the fun at Granite Peak. We are the fun face of skiing, socializing, and all the intangibles at Rib that make it so much fun for all of us to keep buying season passes. Screw the bar, who cares? I don't care for 4 dollar beers, I just wanna see my buds and have some fun. If anyone out there has a better idea as to how to accomodate both us and the visitors without stepping on toes, I'd love to hear it. WE WILL PRESEVERE! We will outlast, outski, outdrink and have more fun than is generally allowed. Just don't expect it to be handed to us. It's up to ALL of us! See you soon....

Deck it! Somebody should tell that liftie that the broom he was leaning on could also be used to clean the cold, wet snow off the lift chairs as they passed by. My butt is still frosted. LOL

You know what they say, Love without passion is no Love at all...is't it the same...a bar without bar stools is no bar at all!!!

I tried a different format, this years feature I burned in 720 HD (figuring Abby's & my video where shot in HD) I tried a few copies on my DVD player and they worked fine, but they may not like older DVD players and/or TVs? You may also have to adjust the picture size in your TV menu. I will burn a bunch more in the format used previously, so please let me know if you need a copy.

Hot and sunny Sunday, gray skies and locked up solid on Monday, then fresh snow on Tuesday. That's mountain weather. But even the Rockies are cooked now. The FAT LADY HAS SUNG.

We have seen NOTHING in reply so far. Just as I've always suspected, there appears to be no rational reason for all the dubius changes at the Peak. I hope that one day I will see logic and fairness implemented at Granite but I fear it will be a long time coming. I have been to the mountain top! I will be heard, for I HAVE A DREAM that positive change will come! Passholders will no longer be treated like chattel and will someday get the same consideration as knuckle draggers! Can I get an "Amen"? We shall maybe overcome. It's the American way! Or shit will just stay the same, whatever...I'll keep skiing there just to support the Deckster nation and the Point brewery! Remember this, "Everybody Wang chung tonight!" Stay thirsty, my friends,

Although a tad cold, windy and gray today, my heart was warmed by the sight of all the beautiful children running around the bar, yelling, spilling ketchup and taking all the available seats so that Rickster, Buzz, Bison and I were forced to drive to BoJo's to get some refreshments and food! BoJo's was weird, room to sit down, eat and drink without your senses being assaulted by unattended children. You could actually see and hear the games on the TV! Oh, that's right! IT'S A BAR! I guess by some flukey state law that small juveniles aren't permitted to be in there without a parent present! Novel idea! I like it! I sure wish Granite Peak would get a bar like that! But where to put the hundreds of children ? Maybe that big building that's never open by the bottom of the Comet lift. Just a crazy idea, I guess. Ski ya soon! See you at BoJo's!

Fellow Dexters, today pushed The Rickster over the edge. I e-mailed Granite Peak when I got home today... #1 (Wed. Dec. 21, 2011) I sent an e-mail asking why there are now cables blocking the entrance to the Sun Deck? I never did receive an answer to this question. #2 Skiing today (Jan. 22, 2012) why was there only 1 person scanning tickets at the 6 pack while there was 50 to 100 people standing in line with every 3rd to forth chair going empty, Great Planning on a Sun.! As it states in your guest comments above---We are committed to making Granite Peak the best it can be! The Rickster would appreciate an answer if that isn't too much... I'll keep everyone up to date with an answer, if I get one this time.

The song remains the same as always. Cater grooming towards the monetary rewards. Season pass holders are locked in, condo renters are more lucrative and are courted accordingly. That's the way the snow falls at Granite Peak. Same with all the terrain parks, more for traveling boarders who pay the high daily lift fees.The truth, the owner is all bout turning a profit as fast as he can. That's the way it goes...sucks, get used to it.

Just when you thought things were looking up, Some genius wants all snowmaking to go west NOW. Drop what you started and move everything to the area that gets the least amount of use and has no night skiing. Gotta get snow on those waste land slopes before opening the east side. WTF??? Looks like the NEW owner is just as belligerant as the last.

Thanks, Waldo! Yeah, I knew about the Peak's sno report site, but I guess I was hoping to get more of a Deckster perspective on the whole thing. Now I know that I can safely come up and visit because the Magic Carpet will be running! What a relief! Maybe I'll even try to muster my courage and attempt to ski Miracle if I can figure out how to load on that scary looking Comet lift. It has a safety bar, right? See you up there sooner than you think! Thanks again!

was up on top today and heavy grooming going on big rib or senior or what ever they call it now sundance?and on pebble beach.i would say with the cold weather they should be able make enough snow to open them this weekend but they think different then most .might want to save it for christmas crowd.also looks like superstition has enough snow,if you go to granite peak website on the middle right of the home page theres a snow report icon .it shows snow depths and whats open ,right now it shows 6 runs open.once again they think different then most.lars i would probably think the new 400 ft. magic carpet should be up and running for you

Happy Turkey Day ! We heard today is the big opening day at Granite Peak ! To quote from their always reliable website: "Arrive Nov 24, Thanksgiving Weekend, get 3 days for price of 2 tickets". Our mouths are watering: "Have your Thanksgiving feast at Granite Peak for just $10.95 per person !" See all you Decksters up there ! I'm sure conditions are fantastic, even though their website still shows 0" for a base and there is absolutely nothing under "News" or any indication whatsoever that the lifts will be running. But we have faith ! Praise the Lord and pass the turkeys on the highway !

Then we'll meet at the deck/bar/parking area, join hands and sing "Kumbaya" or the Buffet classic "Why don't we get drunk and screw". Embrace the movement!

I just viewed Jeff's new video, Shaken and Deck-Stirred. WOW! I was blown away by the editing, the concept, and the cutting edge cinematography. The local yokels recruited for starring roles were iconic and ironicly, very cool people that I've skied with, in a hot video. Speilberg, Fellini, Lucas and Kubric now welcome to their folds Mr. Jeff Harenda as the best of the mid-west video filmographers. Jeff, if you want my admiration you've got it. If you ever want input, like a Quenten Tarratino twist, let me know. You are the bomb! You capture the whole Deckster experience every time.

And, pray tell, why the hell did the Peak close so damned early when conditions were fine for at least another week or two? I'm just dumbstruck, (or a dumb fuck),that after decades of faithfully skiing the place, that a little more consideration toward extending the season for us pass holders was not even an issue. I love skiing, love my ski pals, love my Point beer, the east, and all the Deckster shenanigans that go with being a pass holder. I DON'T like a shortened night season, a shortened day season, short tempers. In short, I feel shorted! See you all not soon enough,shortly. Lars

Looking forward to Jeff's next creative effort. And if you haven't checked out the Deckster videos in a while, look again. New IMAX versions ! May be slow to load first time, but you can replay them. Well worth the wait !

Attention Decksters: I have just discovered that Google search results depend critically upon what Web Browser you are using ! That's right. If you use MS Internet Explorer and you go to Google and type in "decksters" you will get completely different results than if you use an open-source browser like Firefox (what I use). Apple's Safari browser gives you the same bullshit. This means that these companies are being PAID to serve you up the answers that they are PAID to serve you. Do not trust anything that you receive using IE Explorer or Apple's Safari or whatever crap Facebook may want you to use. These companies only exist to fuck you over.

Allthough my Deckster contract is different than theirs, I'm going to have to talk to The Cat about my signing bonus and maybe Dr. Kenny can fix me up with something to get me back in the starting lineup sooner!

I hear the Rickster is doing OK, considering his Bar-B-Q rib status and all. "Pain is temporary, glory is forever!" Who said that first ? I dunno, but I think I picked that up from Anita. Speaking of which, the She-Devil herself showed up last Saturday, skiing with Stu and Laurie. I was heading for the bar when I was abruptly yoyoed on the way down Pebble Beach and was ordered to stop. Anyway, it was my personal privilege to escort the tourists back to the East Side and show them where true Decksters ski. Mission accomplished, I headed straight for the bar. A fine time was had by all. Kenny had already stoked the fire, so there was no further heavy lifting required, except for the occasional mug. Jeff & Beth were even there to direct, so I know spring must be around the corner.

Wausau, WI USA - Mon Feb 14 22:12:36 2011
Well, guess I missed a bit while toiling away at my local pulp and sulphite mine. The Rickster has been dinged while giving his all for the Deckster race team. I'm talking broken ribs, not bar-be-cued like I like 'em. To his credit he did a second run afterwards because the team needed his time to qualify for results. Will trumps sensability once again! Heard also that Buzz and the Bison had an unscheduled meeting on Dead Girl's Run Saturday. Ker-bang! Ouch! Sheesh, don't watch out for my buds one stinking week and the carnage rains down! I am not a good wingman at all when absent. I'm scared shitless and I'm contemplating sportbike body armor for the next session on my agenda which will be Thurs. night. Hope there's some Decksters left healthy enough for me to ski with, not to mention drinks! Ski safe my friends, for the wolf is never far from the door. Now close that damned door!

Better entertainment provided by good old Mother Nature this last Wenesday nite. Great conditions, great temps and a fine gathering of Decksters on the slopes and in the den made for one damn nice ski night. We were turning and burning on some of the best snow of the season. Lean 'em over and crank the G's! A challenge beckons. After some very spirited runs with Rickster,(Rapid Rick), the Buzz, and Dean-o, we were enjoined by the fastest female Deckster on skis I've ever seen since Michelle and the lately not been seen 'Neets. Yea, bros, That Sally can motor with the best of us. Red hair flying and death defying. I'm just glad she didn't run my tired old hippie ass over with a pole plant to boot! And I thought I was skiing fast! wtf? Guess I'm gonna tune and wax and have a few more beers for the gravity effect in hope of keeping pace! Whew, I got smoked faster than a pinchy at the cave.

After a brief consultation with some of my esteemed cohorts, the best diagnosis of the afore mentioned chick, ( hereafter refered to as Bipolar Becca), involves a genetic defect in her brain chemistry compounded by liberal doses of the ever popular drug, Ecstacy, hence the smoldering, come hither stares, and alcohol, causing massive confusion in her troubled mind over which Deckster to cull from the herd for her twisted pleasure. Thankfully, there is safety in numbers and all male Decksters in attendance were able to fend off her wanton advances and remain pure as the driven snow and able to face their peers without a hint of guilt.

Greetings Decksters from Grand Cayman ! Wish you were here. Great week of drinking and diving. Did I spell that right ? Hope it dumps before I'm back. Sh*t! That means I will have to shovel snow in my Speedo and sandals to get into the driveway ! No pain, no glory.

We came, we saw, we skied the 3 runs Sat. and Sun. Hopefully more like the full old scheme open soon. Hard to dodge the new-bys and shredders. Best run is into the Den right now. Good Deckster showing Sat. Nice to see all that made it and will no doubt see the rest of you all soon! And its snowing right now.

Nice day. Can't believe I wore shades instead of goggles on opening weekend ! Packers lost in final seconds, but hey, great game ! Sue kindly passed our text messages on to Matti, who was probably flat on his back, as usual !

Abby, last time I did goats milk, the shot I did on the back of the bowl WAS a hallucination, or at least I hope so! Tone, great pix, nice to know Deckster history is still being archived for future generations to study and analyze. I see that Nov. 20th has been scratched for the Opening. Maybe that'll give the DNR,(Do Nothing Rational), time to ready the upper deck parking lot for prefered parking! Rots o ruck on that one. See you all soon reguardless.

dont call scott walker he'll shut the project down. and then privatize the park which will be bought by a insurance company that has made bad investments ,which will have to sell to a worldwide bank at a loss, which will jackup the user fees to profit on their investment to a point that only the rich can afford access to the peak.

heres the park rd scoop totally unofficial.i talked to a worker on tues and he told me the road won't be finish till spring.its way behind schedule i quess they hit rock.so this AM i took a walk up the sr. headwall($200 fine if you're caught past the gate on park rd)and talked to some constuction workers up there.they said the curb and gutter crews were shutdown for the year and all that was going to be done yet this year was roadbed so there's access to the towers on top.they had no idea if the park would be open. so i stopped at the DNR and asked them if the road will be open for the winter and she said "PROBABLY NOT" bigtime bummer.

Hey, Jeff! Got my new Deckster video from Rickster, it is GOOOOD! Got our picture taken for 2010-2011 and enjoyed a hearty round of golf at Carmie's with a free on course beer gift from brother Andy. Sweet, kudos to Andy! Pond party at Rick's bout a week later with Buzz, Rickster and the Bison. Killer nipple biting bluegills were out in force! Beer guzzling eased the pain but not the swelling. Seeing the Bison jump 4 ft. out of the water howling, priceless! Get your groove and cameras ready for this season, evidently, the 2009-2010 season was not worth posting pix of, eh, Tony? So lets all try to document this year's fun and mayhem and post 'em here for posterity, yes? Soon.....

Actually Dr.Kenny is good at icing an ankle as I found out last Saturday. Hey Rick we are in the same position, foot elevated on ice, beer in hand out of ice. Any one remember the name of that cheese Lindsey used? Mine is a high ankle sprain, swelling is finally subsiding. Fortunately (for me) the next two weekend forecasts do not look good (rain?). Hope to be back in action the last two weekends, in some fashion. Working on editing the video I have, to see if I can come up with a flick. Speed may not kill but it certainly can injure!

The Decksters are making a pilgrimage to the Mecca of the U.P.( Bohemia)Departing on 1-28-10. Miss this and no virgins for you! Anybody wishing to meet up should contact thier parole officer to see if you can leave the county without being arrested, then contact Abby, Matti, Tony, Rick, Buzzy for further info. Lodging options are limited so get your ass in gear and make a commitment to go! Hope to whip the Deckster nation in to a frennzy and show the yoopers how things get done in Decksterville!

Yeah, Sunday morning commin' down. It's more than just a song. Sunday a.m., ski and see ya later, 2nd shift beckons with the false promise of easy money. Jeff, I hate to say it, but, snow shoeing looks like really labor-intensive walking/trudging through snow to me. Did you lose your skis or something? Do you get paid for doing it? Or do you just wish you were here? Shine on, you crazy, video creating, diamond. CUNDAM!

Good to see all of you that made it Sat. Even got a call at work from Chicago Tommy Sunday looking for Decksters at large. Roll call WAS taken Sat. and unless you slackers have a Dr.s' excuse or phoned in, you are on notice! If all of us fringe Decksters could make this weekend's opening, you have no alibis and need to show up Thurs. night and plead your case. Ahh, its all good anyway, just missing all of you and your fine companionship and funny "What I did all summer." stories. See you backsliders soon, hope you all have your stories straight! Kudos to all that did turn up for opening weekend. T'was great to see the smiles on your faces.

Everybody got the itch? I know that I'm jonesing pretty bad, I need to renew my seasonal vows. Ceremonies and arcane rituals need to be witnessed and performed. I call upon all of my fellow Decksters to pray for snow and the invigorating cold that will re-energize us and restore the natural order. Hey, sacrifice a drink, burn a few sacred herbs and beseech the winter Gods to show their power and promises. Then we will gather at the mountain and bond with nature and each other as only Decksters can. We are ready! God willing and able. See y'all soon! The tree needs offerings.

Got more vacation end of August, early Sept if we can get some interested golf-Decksters down to Central Wis. or I will travel, if need be, and put on a clinic on what-not-to-do with a club in one's hand.No, not that one, golf club is what I'm saying, okay ?

First of all where was Tony with his 40 year old snowball on June 24th when the snowmelt contest ended?I heard it actually melted on the 22nd but there were still 6 snowboarders chillin' on that patch of snow and Justin Loew couldn't get them to move to check it.He tried luring them off with monster and rockstar energy drinks and finally got them off on the 24th with the rumor of Shaun"the flying tomato"White was at the Oak Island skateboard park.My computer model was way off ,will have to learn to ride the huffy with my tecnics on ,no gas card. What's up with this? A week after Steve Schlief leaves Wassila,Alaska the governor,Sarah Palin, resigns.I told him he should help her look for Russians and North Korean missiles but that was it!Did she meet her soulmate?Stay tuned to msnbc for updates.

Hola, Deckster nation! It's summer and I know that you all aren't hibernating or mourning Michael Jackson. You all just beat it, just beat it. Golf has eased my pain of not being able to ski with my brethren, but a little communication would be helpful, especially since I had to take down my Farah Fawcett masturbation posters. If any Deckster is willing or able to golf in Rapids, my home is open and free to stay at as long as you don't puke on the floor or hit on either me or my wife. Well, okay, you can hit on me, but don't expect any kinky shit or satisfaction. Just ask my wife, she'll vouch for me. Hopefully see or hear from you all soon, like before the snow flies. Later...

Found "state of decksteria" much easier to view on Laakeandjoy website not to knock your efforts Tony to bring it to Cantbeatfun.Didn't have to download Quickplayer which seemed to affect viewing of other favorite videos.For some reason I couldn't view at a full screen.I tried everything.I had to delete after viewing to restore my computer to what I consider normal.I'm not a IT guy but anyone that couldn't download and view on this site might want to try laakeandjoy.And you can vote for the decksters. Great video. The bad news is I was cruising upnorth and the UP this week and it looks like they put the snowguns away at Brule.I don't think They'll make it to June 1st.Have to wait till halloween to downhill again.

OK Abby, sounds good, keep in mind it must be less than 3 minutes. A Deckster APB will be needed. That is the one unfortunate thing from this year is that by the time I decided to do another one, I only had three good weekends of filming, so not all Decksters were able to be featured. I think the helmet cam worked satisfactory (although hard to keep a Deckster in the field of view), a radar gun would also be fun. As I said before E-mail me a mailing address and I will send out a DVD to any one that would like (free).

Just watched the video and I think Jeff was robbed, great flick.I have a few ideas to beat the shredders, more sex and violence!The MTV crowd really digs boring rail shots, faggy jumps ie: jump up, grab your board. Same move over and over. Next year, pick a weekend shooting date, send a APB out to the Deckster nation and we'll give um something they will never forget! Car chase's aruond the chalet, death deifying leaps over the bar stools, bloody Marys dripping down your face,irate bar customers and thats just the opening credits!Like a New York cockroach...we will prevail!

Hey, all! First off, Jeff, your video rocks. Even my Mom and some old Deadhead buddies of mine were enthralled with the editing, music,creativity and forethought that went into "State of Decksteria". You belong in the Deckster hall of fame. Eli, if you ain't gotta copy yet, email me, I'll find a burner and get one to you post haste. But, contact me soon while I'm still at this address, Shit be happening. Spring brings changes, not all for the better, but, in time all will settle down. And, snow will fall and Decksters will ski with reckless abandon and share stories, inebriants and good times. Here's hoping for a great summer for all of us and God bless the spirit of those who try to push the envelope. Peace out.

Decksters, sad to say the video did not take first or second, those top spots were secured by knuckle draggers! It seems the judges preferred juvenile stunts over a story about the best group of people on snow! Or around a fire! You can view all the entrants videos at www.laackeandjoys.com click on "winter sports" link on left side of their home page, then on "vote for your favorite". They are doing internet voting for third place ($100). On the whole, I think the videos were better than last years, but go ahead watch and judge for yourselves. Yes I was hoping to win, but if you guys all enjoyed it, that is satisfaction enough for me. So, next year less plot and more action!

Hello deckster nation!! I'm having a problem viewing the video on the site. Does anybody have a copy on DVD they can burn for me. Memories of the past winter help me deal with boring hot summers. My season ended April 17th when I skiied in 73 degree weather. It was 62 when I arrived at 10 in the morning. I figured it was God rewarding me for putting up with the January temperatures this year. Hey Lars, Chainsnap kicks ass, I listen to it almost daily. Peace out, THINK SNOW!!!!

Good luck to Jeff on his video ! It totally rocks, showing the best of the Deckster experiences,(within reason) and a whole lot of our gang banging and bingeing. If you haven't accessed the video, its a must see. Contact Jeff before he signs a big Hollywood deal and he'll most likely send you a personal copy. It should be on a permanent loop in the den next season. Yes, we're all superstars in our own minds, but Jeff has validated all of us in a most rocking way. I watched my DVD at least 8 times in a row and caught different Deckster action each time. Try it and see if you don't agree ! Missing the snow and all of my brethren, golf is a weak substitute for skiing, but, it's all I've got until next season. Summer summit? Live the dream ! Lars

Well, I can see you've all been salivating for Jeff's new Deckster video ! I think I figured out a way to post it. At least, it works for me. Let me know if you have trouble viewing it. Nice job, Jeff. Did Martin Scorsese ask to become involved with this project ? Or did you threaten to offer it to Kevin Costner first ? Anyway, at least some Decksters are up on current technology. Just don't f**king try to twitter me, goddammit !
I think the snow on Rib will never melt because I have a snowball in my fridge, as usual. I have a collection that goes back to 1969. When Justin announces a winner I am going to plant it in the middle of R&R and call 911. So there !
Keep the home fires burning and stay loose !

Been spending alot of time on the peak lately trying to figure out the winning date for the Channel 9 Granite Peak meltdown.Have put together a computer model I hope my calculations are correct.Going after that R-Store gift card I need gas money.The moguls on whitewolf are finally starting to soften up.Should be excellent skiing by the first of May.

Rather quite out there! Where have all the decksters gone? Long time no hear. Must be molting the winter skin off, kind of a slow time like a bear coming out of hibernation, dizzy ,lost, confused...oh wait, that sounds like a deckster leaving the Bears Den!

Looking for snow, head west, Mammoth, Squaw and Snowbird still have 100"+ base! Very tempting. Yes, the movie is done, I had to re-edit slightly as I noticed someone was flying the bird, and Beth thought I was zooming in too much on some ones behind! This year I titled it "State of Decksterity", premise being a Deckster would rather rip up the slopes, and socialize on the Deck than go to work. Sorry Kenny, Goldmember stars this year. Video contest winner will be announced May 8th, and this year a panel of judges will determine winners not internet voting. I will send an electronic copy to Tony but do not know if it can be posted here? Any one that would like a copy on DVD e-mail me a mailing address and I will send.

Hey, ya'll! Hope the snowless weather is treating you nicely! Golf is in full swing down here in Rapids and the promise of more to come! Tony, great 2009 pictures, you should get a prize for photo-Deckster journalism! I can't wait to see Jeff's video after seeing the static pictures of Goldmember in action. Golf outing this summer? I have time off in May, June, and August to burn and there is nobody I'd like to burn it with than my fellow Decksters. Give me a heads up or a hell yeah and we'll get this party started. See you or hear from you soon, Lars

Good skiing and great company this last season. Good to see all of you for the LAST DAY at the Peak. Glad to see J. Paradise and hear that Eck is not mortally wounded. Still, season might be paused, but, golf and spring beckon. Hope to see a whole bunch of you this summer at the proposed drinking/picnic/golf/camping outing that hasn't quite jelled yet. Trust your inner-Deckster and keep your ears, and options open, as well as your minds. CU all soon, take care......Lars

Hey gang, sad to say the Milwaukee contingent may not make closing day (helmet cam done for season) due to a bad cold. Must have been from going topless on deck last weekend. I think I have enough footage to complete the film for the contest. If anyone has some good photos or video send to my e-mail. We will see how I feel later today and decide about making the drive to bid farewell to another great season with all of you. If we do not make it I will let you know how video turns (due April 17) out and can make copies available, this years video is entitled "State of Decksterity" Thanks - Jeff & Beth

The peak is still open till Sunday the 29th.Lots of snow left,skiing was good today but grooming wasn't worth a darn but why waste alot of time for 10 people.There were more on the golf coarse bouncing their balls off the water hazards.Another reason to wear a helmet when in Comet liftline.Hopefully they'll have it in better shape for anticipated crowds this last weekend of the season.Snow possible for sat. pm(up to 3 ") so Lars better find his orange golfballs just in case.And BE CAREFUL!!

Hey! What the hell? Ski hill's open yet this weekend?!? I'll be there, if only to say my peace and find out what happened to Eck. I can't hardly believe his gold powersuit did not protect him from injury as it has in the past. Is the magic gone? Not possible. Is the season ending? Most probable, but, I'm not going down without swinging til the end! Ski whats left this Sunday and I'll also have my clubs in the van for back-up. Be there and share the love....see you all soon!

Tick. Tock. The Decksters are out of clock. The fun is done and we await the next season and seeing all of our Bros and Sisters in their prime as always. I sure had a great time with all of you and I can only hope that next season will be as good or better. I was hoping for this next weekend to say my good-byes, but, it don't look good, eh? I'm really hoping for a mid-summer Deckster outing, but, if not, I'll live to ski another day God willing. I don't have to tell you all how much skiing with you and the attendant drinking/socializing means to me. I feel it is the same with all of us. See you as soon as it is, thank you all, it was a great winter as always. Lars

Email it to me if you do, hey? Hell, in years to come it could end up as a treasured icon in it's own shadowbox. It was good to see all in such high spirits.

Ach du leiber, that German fest Saturday was a rocking good time ! Many Decksters showed up to help me and Rick celebrate our shared Teutonic heritage. Concertina Carl was at his best, as well as Brad Emanuel, can't get enough of those drunken sing-alongs. In my excitement, I remembered all 3 German words I knew and shouted them repeatedly, ( and, NO, Vicki, I was NOT calling you a schwein-hund .)I got to also witness our fellow Deckster, Matti, inadvertantly insult and embarass some fish drama-queen to the point of crocadile tears. Hey, she DID look like her friend's mother. Matti gets a full pardon on this one. I must also report that both St. Tom AND Tony were in fine singing voice and both my wife and Rickster's were amused, not offended by their subtle touching and clever double entendres. It pays to marry a good Wisconsin girl, eh? Anyway, anybody spotting my goggles or the contents of my wallet please get in touch with me this Sat. when I return to the scene of the grime for even more fun. Decksters with computers are urged to check out Ski MidWest.com. I found it and I think I'm the only one logging on. Sweet. Our own blog site?? CU soon.

So beware of what? They say that the truth shall set us free, but, I say it's the rumors that set us off! Current mid-seasonal rumors are: The bar has been bugged by none other than Chas. Skinner in order to find more ways to squeeze local dollars into his vast larder. Vegas puts the odds at 50/50. Next, the half chair more affectionally known as the yo-yo will cease operations shortly due to liftie shortage due to above mentioned greed. Odds: 40/60. Third; no outside beverages allowed outside on the new deck. This one has to be pure 100% bullsh#t. Why would they be called "outside" beverages anyway. Odds: try and stop me and I'll relocate to the freedom of the upper deck. A word of wisdom; Its just as easy to beg forgiveness as it is to ask for permission. And lastly, just so we can all sleep easier at night, beware of who we have become lest we allow others to dictate who we might be. That sounds about right, if it doesn't; it don't matter. Once a Deckster, always a Deckster. Just because it skis doesn't mean it's a skier.Look for the telltale signs if you're in doubt. Big smiles, handwarmers and that mischevious glow = Deckster. Bad attitude, closed heart and wallet = wanna be. Study hard, test may be forthcoming. Ski safe, but, ski fast...not me.

Hey, all, racing sounds like a good way to emulate my late hero, Dale Earnhardt, especially with the carnage at the Peak this last week. Wow! What a bummer! Let's be X-tra carefull up there and not let the hill bite into us as we would carve into it. A thought; what would happen if some over zealous county mounty would drop a dime on all the unattended minors in the bar-area on the weekends? I've tried giving Vickie a heads up on this, but, sadly been ignored just like my many e-mails in regards to hill improvements and such. Oh, well, what comes around goes around, I guess she might get a "pass" from the local constable due to seating considerations at holiday time. Rules are rules, unless you're family.

Skiing the ice field that was Senior at -27 degrees and livin' the vida loca! It was the best of times, yet, it was the worst. I wouldn't pose for pictures with that shit, much less, attempt to ski on it without MAJOR life insurance policies.

Happy holidaze to all! I can't wait to get back skiing after I dig myself a tunnel to the road. This is epic snow, boys and girls, which takes me down memory lane and the winters of my youth, when men were men and skis still had bark on their topsheets. It makes me pose the question of what does it take to be an old school-type ski veteran? Do you recall rear entry boots, Spademan bindings, driving a stick shift car with ski boots on, using a ticket bail for an emergency pipe cleaner or what GLM stood for? Then you qualify for old school and I'd like you to share what old school stuff you can recall with the rest of the Deckster nation. Any thoughts or amusing/embarassing recollections? What say you? I know most of us have 20 ski years or more to gleen from, eh? C'mon and share, it'll make good reading while waiting for the plow truck to arrive. See you all soon.

Don't do it! Don't pull the pin on your designer bomber vest just yet! If the mountain won't conform to Muhammed, then Muhammed must ski what is available, preferably on some Solomon XTC DuneRippers 180cm. The east beckons like an oasis on a hot desert day after walking behind the flatuence of a thousand camels, but,it will be there eventually when the most faithful will hear its siren song.Western influences be damned, like a fish out of the water. Hang on to patience like it was the Quaran and keep your shoes on! No need for dire measures yet. Instead, think about the suave satisfaction of defiling the White Wolf for the first time, like your sister, before the tribunal of elders, up on charges of listening to the subversive sounds of Abba and paying with her life. Time will pass like the stink of an old goat and the east will rise again for the most faithful. Allah akbar! It will be so!

Season's greetin's, Decksters and cretins! It was most fine to see so many of the Deckster nation in action this Saturday! I see that Chi-town Johnny has been hitting the gym,oops,maybe, Jim, as in Beam, this summer and lost x-tra lbs. but not the skill and unbridled talent that has made him a living testamonial to the Deckster lifestyle. Hence his motto: "Last runs, first call." All the rest of the tight knit clan was looking good, skiing fast, drinking responsively and talking smart. Kudos to Sarah, Michelle, Eli, Bison, Eck, Skipper, Rickster, Abby and Matti for suds and hugs, not drugs, ( a long standing tradition for this crew.) As soon as the SunDance chalet opens, we hopefully will not have the child care center located in the relocated Bear's Den. After Dec. 20th, I propose that all unattended children found in the den be sent to their rooms for winter's duration. Have faith! The holidays approach with more opportunities for ski days and nights. Let's get it on!

Storm warning! Snow is coming! Run for the hills! The skiing may be epic! Powder burns and swoopy turns! The East may rise again! Good to see our Deckster bros this Sunday, glad no bad repercussions from my collision with St. Thomas, but, where are the rest of our gang? Ely, Tony, Reiny, Sarge, Falka jr., and the rest, not here on Gilligan's isle. The hill and the new deck beckons, who will show up? Buzz? Tommy? Michelle? Eck? Johnny Paradise? We await your arrival and miss all of you at the gathering throng on the new deck! May we see more of you this upcoming weekend. Doctor's excuses or bail problems be damned! Its WINTER, let's ski! Get a day pass or gnaw through your restraints. Escape to the Deckster love fest and enjoy the cold bite of winter freedom! Tele-shots for all! Later...

OOoh! Mea culpa! I took out the Skipper this last Tues. nite. Total yard sale! My fault at least 65%. Probably caused by karmic backlash due to me and the Rickster poaching 2 closed runs. No harm, hopefully, no penalties nor a review by the Deckster Safety Squad. I do try soooo hard to remain in everyone's good graces.The new used Blackeyes were going faster than I anticipated. See ya all sunday, if a penalty is dealt, I'll deal with it then.

Hey Boys & Girls, Angler Dave needs feedback. Just wondering about what will happen if person would pack sandwiches in a person so called boot-bag. Then lets say that person would leave that sandwich,I mean boot-bag near the new and improved Deck that they built just for us. I mean they finally got it! DECK! Decksters! What a concept! Remember boys & girls! If the bait shop is out of bait,head back towards the big coolers and finish out your mission! Let'er Snow! Angler

Looking forward to seeing our seasonal (Rapids,Chicago) commrads again! Hey, what the word with the Rickster?Heard through the grape vine that he had his head amputated!

Season's greetings fellow Deckster gangsters! I just got back from Wausau,(paid $10 late picture fee, WTF?)where I was given a personal guided tour of the new patio area by none other than Brother Eck who was taking a much deserved wiggy break from his backbreaking painting labors. Heyyyyy! I'm pretty impressed with Eck's painting, the layout,firepit,tables and especially those steel cables waiting to bisect the unwary, perhaps impaired, out of control, hill voyaging gravity enthusiast. It won't be long until we can once again conveen the Deckster nation and get on with this winter's merriment. A brief word of caution seems to be in order in part due to the aftermath of the 2008 St. Thomas day massacre. Remember, I'm as guilty as anyone of playing fast and loose with my interpetations of the laws of our fair land, therefore, who better to say so? Let's be a little more aware of those who would plot our demise so they could maybe advance a law career by causing legal ramifications for the rest of us, and treat them as the Amish would a cast out backslider. Mainly, by imposing the Shunning and by minding our P's and Q's when it counts. Stoning them with large, sharp cornered chunks of granite would be preferable, but sadly not done anymore in this day and age. My advice is to fly a bit closer to the ground, maintain formation with trusted wingmen/wingwomen and stay under the radar. That said, let's not get real paranoid here, let's just have fun and if the rare opportunity arises to avenge wrongs.....think thrice before acting. That which does not kill us will only make us, damn it, I forgot what. Stronger? Braindead? Prisoners? Oh, hell, you know what I mean. See you all soon, peace out.

Hey, hey Decksters, Beth and I got second place in the Laacke and Joys snow sports video contest! thanks to all of you who voted for us on their web site. First place was absconded by some posers, (high schoolers who no doubt put posts on Myspace, facebook, and the like). The contest was purely by popular vote and not on the merits of the video; SUCKS. Anyway, second place gets ME new ski boots of my choice, and BETH two tickets to Granite Peak too hone her skills. Not bad, thanks again.

CALLING ALL DECKSTERS ! Here is the PLAN for this Sunday, June 29 ! Clearwater Harbor Bar in Waupaca is a very cool lakefront party bar. Bazooka Joe is playing on the floating stage 3-7pm. I will be there. Tomcat claims he will be there. Everyone is invited. I will check my email Saturday if you want to know more. Otherwise, just show up. Woody Allen said: "90% of life is just showing up !"
You can check the URL link below (click "Tony") to learn more about the bar. We could all get drunk and plan the upcoming camping experience. What do you say ?

Thanks for the BD wishes! Good party, new porch pulled through better than it's owner. Toured a couple nursing homes, sampled the pureed carrots, tried on some Depends and looked for widowed hotties. After that, I think I'll just ski until I die instead. Is a Deckster outing still in the offing? Down here in south Deckstervania we're all interested in attending if logistics work out. Hang on Eli, ski season is just around the corner!

Available ladies take note, I'm always looking for fresh gene pool contributers, biblical knowledge a plus! Let's do this thing before world's end, (2012 for all you clueless nonbelievers). Camping and drinking with a fire on top of Granite peak after some golf in the summertime. Whoa, other than the rapture, this will be the highest moment in my sorry life. Does the good Dr./Rev. Kenny hit the white orb of truth or will we have to rely on his orational expertise around a sacrificial campfire for proper guidance in the ways to survive the summer without the healing, frozen snow? Can't wait to see you all! Spread the word across the Deckster nation! It's gonna be awesome!

Nirvana, WI USA - Sun Jun 1 01:01:55 2008
Here's the scoop on camping on top at Rib Mt. State park. First of all I think The Staff has been alerted to a possible summer renedezvous of "The Gang" as there are pictures of the kingpins from this website posted at the admittance building. So I had my large SUV and took the cover of a FLDS bishop with 4 wifes and 17 children from the YFZ ranch looking for campsites for my family reunion after the State of Texas releases the kids. Well it worked and the state park HAS camping on a first come basis.Sites are $12 ,The guy was very helpful,I think he was a volunteer,and said other then the 4th of July a site should NOT be a problem but someone could call on the thursday before to check on site availability,7158422522.If it's starting to fill up someone from the area could pay and set up a couple chairs for occupancy.On this friday A.M. there were only 4 sites taken. There are 30 sites of which 1 is reserved for handicapped.The group site was lost to the anchor guys of the new HDTV tower so that's not a option. Other options would be the new homeless shelter under I39 51/29 highway just north of the park entrance with bathrooms at the Travel Center and pool,hot tub and continenatal breakfast at Days Inn or camping in Marathon Park with a dining experience at the nearby Salvation Army shelter.

Unless things have changed since last week there still is camping on top of rib mt. but they no longer take reservations.30 sites first come first served.I'll go up to the top tomorrow and see if anything is different this week.I live just down the road.I think there is even a group site away from civilians I'll check it out.So don't get too excited lars

WTF! What in the hell did I get into when I got suckered into buying my pricey state park worthless window sticker? A few years ago Ranger Bill was trying to evict us from the upper deck because it was a "camping only" site. Now I can't sleep there??? Boy, I love my return on paying my inflated state taxes. Do we now have a Bush as a governor, or have the Deckster's been put on a security watch in the aftermath of the infamous St. Tom's day snow snake massacre? Do you think that they'd rent me the A-frame for the weekend? Could I just park the trusty mini-van in the Granite parking lot ala Tommy and Johnny style and sleep without fearing a knock on the door from the local SWAT team? Man, I'm confused and pissed off, (like always).What's a brother to do? God knows I'd hate to do anything bordering on the quasi-legal. Hell, the powers that be might rescind my drivng privledges or fine me heavily, oops, that's in the past. Never mind. Hey, help us southern Deckster faction out with some alternatives. Maybe Switek will be in Montana and we can hot tub and camp out in his backyard. State Park Speedway might be a sleeping option. Think my sticker will work there? How are the homeless shelters in Wausau? And there's always that big church parking lot down the road. God loves us all, no? As I remember, the bible quotes Jesus as saying that his father's mansion has many rooms. How much a night is what I want to know. And is a hot tub included? WTF, indeed. Keep me posted and pray for my soul, if you go that way.

FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH,THE AWAKENING. Yup, Decksters, that will be Lars' 55th birthday. Imagine the horror when he figures out that he ain't a spring chicken anymore and that he can't retire for at least 7 more years of corporate servitude. Oh,the humanity! Please let his retirement/ lottery plan end his misery and open up the skiing/golfing nirvana of which he speaks of constantly. Frankly, everbody is getting tired of hearing about it and a change of topic would be welcomed by all. Decksters are welcome to attend a BD after supper beer/campfire/sniper camp at his humble abode on the night in question. If you can't make it down to Kellner, we'll see you at the outing/party in, July? Illegal fireworks, handguns, pitbulls, homeless wayward teenage girls and moonshine are all welcome at this venue. Steal a vehicle to attend and win a doorprize. Summer rocks, Lars rolls. Later....

Looks like Abby's busy social calendar is the limiting factor for a Deckster social outing. Early July is out for me. Otherwise I'm good. Just don't make me chase after a little white ball. We should reserve a couple of sites on the Peak, probably in mid-July, to give the authorities plenty of time to prepare for our arrival !
And for those of you who can remember the Glory Days... like last month, when we could still ski, here is my little tribute to British Columbia, da Yoopers, and Deep Der ! Powdercreek

News flash! Nastar has announced that the nationals will be returning to steamboat again March 26-29-09.Some of you had expressed interest in making this a Deckster pilgrimage.Matti and I can testify that this is a great venue and will be the cheapest trip money can buy.Last years tickets were $39.00 (tax included and no resort gouging fee)per day and buy 5 and get the 6th day free.1 qualifier can buy up to 10 passes per day.Housing was dirt cheap depending if you prefer the Ritz or the flea bag inn.We had an excellent room for about $70.00 per night and they threw in a hot Russian chick that Matti proposed to several times to no avail.Food for thought,never to early to plan these things. Note to Lars..I'm still trying to find an open weekend yet,mid July is looking good.IT WILL HAPPEN. Just a matter of coordinating dates.xxxooo abby

Okay, I voted on the video and now I'm calling on all you loyal and powerful members of the Deckster nation to please finalize a date for the golf/camping/drinkfest at Rib Mtn. I beg of you all, ratify a date so that plans can be made and campsites/tee times can be secured. I know with our gangs recent history we maybe want to stay under the radar, but, when's that gonna happen?!"? Lets make it happen, eh? I know that the Southern Decksters has expressed an interest especially if a camp out is in the offing. What say you? Time passes quickly, wounds heal slower, love is fleeting, but, bitter, unrequited feelings last forever. Just ask my wife or former friends/bandmates.Let's give a big Deckster effort to get this party started, I'll even bring my ABBA cd's and some Boone's Farm Uniroyal Purple to set the mood.

How about a July 13th outing? Would that work or is another date better? August is good also, especially if I'm spending the night in my van or tenting on top of Rib. Won't need the heater then and if I don't make the van at bedtime, exposure shouldn't be a factor. Its worked many times before, like in the olden daze at the Mole Lake Bluegrass Fest, at least what I remember. Que sera!

Yo Decksters ! Glad to see you are making good use of the DBB. I survived a week in the Canadian Rockies with a bunch of Yooper pinheads and skinheads and now I'm back and ready for more action ! Well, maybe after a couple of weeks to recover...
Sorry to hear about Ricky's mishap. At least he's in good company. Always remember, "pain is temporary, glory is forever".
Lars, you can count me in on any spring/summer Deckster outing. I don't golf, so I won't be chasing after any little white balls, but that won't stop me from tossing down a few beverages with you before, during and/or after. I especially like the Topside camp idea and the boating idea. Just beware of the deaf and dumb Camp Nazi (Tom knows who I am talking about !). Stay tuned to this channel. T

"Hello, hellow, hellow,is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me.Its just apassing phase, one of my bad days." I'd really like some feedback on the Deckster golf/drinking/camp out on the "upper deck", gathering. Advise, please.

Hey, Decksters! I graduate this next Tues. pm from Group Dynamicks, (aka drunk driving school)party at the Pour House to follow. Anyone needing answers to test questions or behind the wheel coaching, just get a hold of me. My behind the wheel test went super good until I attempted to do jumps and donuts at about .35 BAC. Don't know how I ended up on You-tube, but, lawsuits are pending and my lawyer assures me that they are the least of my legal problems. My golf has been good so far, no round over 50, and I just got the skis off of my golf cart. We here at Tri-city Country Club consider the lingering snow drifts as frozen water hazards. Tiger who? On a related note, how's everyone doing on the proposed Deckster summer Open? I, for one, can't wait to finally golf Rib Mtn's answer to Pebble beach. Please to give this tired old hippie some feedback, yes? Hope all is well and legal help is bolstering my fellow Deckster's morale and giving them succor in their time of need. What doesn't kill us will only make us sicker, I guess. Lars

I for one, like the golf combined with a cookout-drinking- bullshit session on the top of Rib. That way non-golfing Decksters can join in the festivities and share the Deckster love. Is June too soon or late for you? How else can we get the word out and get opinions, options, and ideas on this historic summer bash? Is the shelter house on top available for the gathering? It was a great place for some of the St. Tom's Day parties, eh? What ever transpires,let's just follow the 7 P rule: Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance and let it be. Any response would be great: Can I get a "Hell! Yeah!"?

BEWARE!Decksters photographed and I.D.ed at the Winter 2007/2008 St. Tom's party may be having their daily routines,movements and habits tracked by the magnetic barcode on their seasons pass. Our agency has intercepted a memo that claims the Marathon County Sheriff patrol,Wisconsin State Patrol and DNR,The Peak Ski Patrol and Barney Fife of the Mayberry,N.C.police have acquired satelite equipment from the Dept. of Homeland Security to track possible future threats. Our agency's Anti-Serveillance expert has suggested that people inthe 2007/2008"deck party" photos wrap their season passes in aluminum foil, when not in use ,to avoid detection. Confidential Gov't Agency Ski Brule was great 2 days ago short runs but lots of snow. Was worth the 127 mile trip this time of year.

Abby, I'm liking the campsite thing, guess I'm used to the "upper deck" and then would not have to navigate home without trouble. Speaking of which, was there ticket(s) issued at St. Tom's party after my departure? Is Bill a "person of interest"? Will the Decksters be allowed to keep our St. Toms celebration on the sacred deck or be forced to move to a less conspicuous location? My head is reeling, please advise.

Hill climber, Doing wheelie's, jumping through the flaming circle of death, jumped over 5 groomers and 10 school buses full of blind orphans, chased down a wheelchair bound old lady ,dragged a nun behind the bumper across the parking lot.and willfully ran over a family of rare endangered snow snakes.Oh wait! that was the police cars racing to the scene of the terrible crime.

Wausau, WI USA - Wed Apr 9 11:37:19 2008
Yo Lars, I like the way you think! Golf outting at Rib would be a blast and possibly dangerous. Perfect fit for the decksters!OK decksters..throw some dates out here and see if we can coordinate this. Here's something to consider..Bluegill bay park is a couple of miles down the road, great place to have a after golf gathering and bring the boats for some yachting. We have more than a few sea worthy vessels in the deckster fleet! Time for fun in the sun 08. Lets hear it!

Yes! Golf is open here in Rapids! Any Deckster in good standing wishing to sample one of fine courses here can contact me for details and/or company. While I have seen the Rickster play regular golf, I should tell you he is more engaged with,and dare I say, more skilled at what he calls "Redneck Golf", aka sporting clays. The man is a machine when paired with one of his trusty shotguns. Believe me, its fun to watch him blast away at those clay targets. Anyhoo, I'm close to the Ridges, Tri-city and, for you more well heeled of the Deckster gang,I can point the way to Arrowhead. However, Homestead should've been left as a pasture for cows, pretty much still looks like one. My cell: 310-880-7148 Hope to see you on the links! Have a great summer!

Alas, how the mighty have fallen. I visited with the damaged Rickster Tues. A broken collarbone, some broken/cracked ribs will have him recovering aprox. 5-8 weeks. Seeing as both of our crashes occurred near tower 8, I'm giving it a wide berth in the future and encouraging caution on the part of all our fellow DECKSTERS in regards to this vortex of mysterious ski accidents until the problem can be identified and exorcized properly. Sheer speed isn't the problem, the sudden stops are what'll get you everytime. We all may ski like we're in our youth, but getting hurt brings us back to the geriatric nature of our bones and connective tissues. He assurred me that the Rickster will be back in fine form by next season. I believe a strenuous regimine of bicycling and golf combined with some relaxing alcholic elicksers will do the trick. We shall all hope and wait for the results. Rickster did tell me how impressed he was with all of your concern and support in this trying time. Special kudos for the Peak ski patrol for a speedy rescue and to St. Tom for a bedside prayer vigil during his stay at Aspirus. Stay in touch for further updates.

Last chance for redemption, yes you can still be saved!Yes sinner you have one more chance to save your soul by attending the sermon on the slope featuring DR Kenny and the dick smoking alter boys.DR Kenny has been touring the world delivering the word of the deckster profits to the heathen masses.CAN I GET AN AMEN! He will whip the crowd in to a frenzy with his powerful slurring and screaming and dynamic message of the healing power of drunkenness!Bring your offerings of food and beverages to placate his devine anger or suffer the death of a thousand snow snakes.You don't want to miss your chance to see the DR walk across the frozen waters and through the camp fire of death without spilling his communal wine. We must bring the deckster word to the masses before we are forever silenced by the devils SWAT team!

As a member of the original Disiplinary Commitee I second Abby and the ruling. Because of this I am compelled to also throw myself to the mercy of the commitee! Official Deckster Rulebook item 13 states that anyone calling the Decksters anything but a Gang is subject to disiplinary actions. I come forward at this time to say I am guilty of this offense. Dated Wed. march 5 I unfortunatly mentioned the word clan!! Lars, brother Deckster, we together at the next convention will be ruled upon. I accept full responsibilty for my actions in this matter!! Please remember I came forward without any direction from others! Your brother, Todd

Deckster rule book page 69 item 5 states " anybody miss spelling deckster " shall be flogged with a wet spagetti noodle 10 times while forced to drink a bottle of Boones farm apple daze, blindfolded and dragged behind the groomer for the entire length of the deck" also see addendum 69a that states " with proper priming of the rules comittee all things can be resolved at the next convention"

You are correct, Lars. According to the Official Deckster Rulebook anybody who is caught spelling it "Dexter" has to buy a round. So feel free !!! Hey, did Stretch pay up yet ? Of course, the Rulebook also says "We're not bailing you out of jail." I hear Tom might be calling a Deckster Constitutional Convention to amend that one.

Sorry to hear about the SWAT team busting the St. Thomas apres party fun. Thank's to all my fellow Dexter members for enjoying the best Cent. Wi. snow cover in 35 yrs. with yours truly. Call me anytime you need a ride and/or bail money, (within reason, Tom and Dr. Kenny and the rest of you )or you need to rent a 24 hr service drinking buddy at very reasonable and negotiable rates. "Its been an epic year!" as Homer said in the Illiad, Many dragons and flagons were vanquished all in the eternal quest for the next party or ski season or thrill of the minute we all couldn't wait for but now , sadly, has come to a temporary pause. It was a magnificent season, boys and girls. Thanks especially to Sue and Sarah for putting up with our constant unending pleas for more drinks and shenanigans, and all the rest of you Dexters for encouragement and support in abetting them. See you all next season, may it be as fun as this one has been. Later....

Apparently, the harmless and utterly non-threatening appearance of a slow-moving car in the access road next to the chalet produced a call to the police which led to the high-speed arrival of the sheriff and created a serious incident out of nothing. Law-abiding citizens beware ! But if you want to commit a real crime, I certainly wouldn't worry about being caught.

I now feel that I have acheived one of my life's goals.Its better than getting into the Hell's Angels or being abducted by aliens, (kind of like the best of both, actually). Now , if I can break 45 on 9 holes my existance will be complete. Thanks, fellow Decksters, I'll try to live up to the traditions you've all set. I'm honored and strangely, (for me), humble.
