Three Turkeys
Neal Beidleman, halfway into his second frame.
Hang out at Aspen Highlands enough and you’ll eventually overhear conversations rehashing the days exploits up in the Bowl using proper bowling terms, and in a style more commonly reserved for the 10 pin, Budweiser sponsored, indoor “sport.” Basically, this type of ski slang/ Bowl-speak works like this– to ski the Bowl from the top is considered a strike, and to ski any line short of the summit, i.e. any lower B-zone or Y-zone, counts as a spare. Score your day accordingly.
The storm that seemed to be dumping snow everywhere but here finally materialized, and conditions were prime for a few frames Saturday. Neal, Christy and I all scored turkeys– it was fun.
Here are a few pics:
Christy, first frame, G-5. Click all pics to enlarge.
Neal, another lap, another strike, seen here in G-3.
Christy, smiling at the availability of open lanes, in G-5.
Neal gets another strike. He likes the G5-3 split.
Parting shot, Christy in G-3, en route to her first turkey of the season.
love the pics Ted! Snow, finally!! Keep it coming! I’ll be in town next week, see you then!
Ted–Do you have a bowling shirt? Bowling nickname?
Scott – The wardrobe is definitely lacking in the bowling shirt department, but if I had one it would probably have the nickname “Mondo” embroidered upon it. I can’t speak for Christy or Neal. And you?
Chrissy- We’ll see you next week!
No bowling shirt here (even though I live near a bowling alley) but my photo keeps popping up on your blog for some reason that I don’t really understand. Great photos and it looked like a wonderful day with Cher. I bet she’s a bowling machine!
Was an age waiver required for that old guy you show participating in your bowling league?
No waiver required. He just has to make sure to follow us closely as he has a hard time remembering how to get home.
And for our charity we get to hear stories from ‘back in the day.’
I’d follow you back home… if I could remember where I parked.
Well done – the snow has been sparse, but glad you made the most of it!
