With "storm of the year" snowfall hitting all the resorts in the North West it was no arm twister to have the freq staffers make the trip down south to The Summit at Snoqualmie to view The Holy Oly Revival -- what many contest attendees were claiming to be the top spectator event in the PNW. Mad rock promoter Krush Kulesza and his crew erected a huge and well-maintained quarterpipe. Pretty impressive considering the resort was sitting on two feet of (lighter than normal) powder. A new addition ( or requisition) to this year's festivities was a large propane tank still emitting fumes that Genovese, Donkie, Burtner and the others sessioned with abondon).

The contest is billed as a NW pride event and the area's attendant top guns came out in full force to hit the monstrous sized QP. DJ James Lynn kept the crowd and athletes moving with his mix of hard rock and 80's power ballads. The award show featured many drink tickets flying through the air and One Ball Jay wax discs being tossed Chinese throwing-star style, almost knocking out more than one onlooker. With Sammy Luebke walking away with a palette of Olympia Beer: 60 cases! As the award show (beer fest) toned down the crowd stumbled over the Timberwolf Lodge for a frequency TSJ-sponsored spaghetti feed and memorable Scott Sullivan performance. Thanks Krush and Lib .
