Lake Cushing Crossing on 4th of July??

Since it was still snowing and freezing all of April and May until Squaw closed, they never had the Cushing Crossing. Instead, they decided to have it on July 4th. They opened skiing on the mountain, millions of people showed up, and we had an awesome crossing with a little bit of farmed snow down by KT. This year I was a "Flying Fish Out of Water." Jody, Josh, and I ended up spending a total of 24 man hours making my costume. We hand cut and glued and sewed all the fish skin and scales on both sides. Plus we constructed a fancy pair of fish fins/wings. It was awesome!! Unfortunately it was a little too much drag and I didn't really make it too far across. Oh well, I guess you gotta fall in sometime! And man, was it cold! Thanks for all the help Jody and Josh!

Your problem was you couldnt grab a bullet due to the dorsal fin on the fish, thus, the air drag kept you from getting to the other side......! Wow Breath, imbedding vid's to the site as well. You have hit the big time! See you at the Beav, better be there. Bring Transue too.
