    Words: The Bomb Snow 

     

    After a rowdy eviction party, we hit the road early on April 1st with Alaska segments from old MSP and TGR movies burned in our brains. With 2500 miles in front of us, we knew we were in for a long ride, but the prospects of skiing steep blower spines kept our spirits high. Loaded with five snowmobiles on an old rusty trailer, we were clueless as to the hardships that would be brought on by the rough roads of Northern Alberta and the Yukon.

     

    Bomb Snow TV Episode 4, the last of the season produced by the Bridger Brigade, is a brief account of our adventures to Alaska. From Montana, to Valdez, to Haines, and back to Montana, our journey was filled with highlights and disasters. We have gained a new understanding and appreciation for the Alaskan skiing journey. After 7 days and 6 nights in the truck, 4 blown trailer tires, and 2 broken trailer arms, our hardships were outweighed by a plane drop and an unreal 4 days spent on a glacier in Haines.

     

    Needless to say, the Alaskan experience was humbling. The sick terrain and incredible challenges have revamped our ambition toward skiing. With new determination and new goals, nothing will stop us from spending our Spring's in Alaska.

    The Orage Masters may be rowdiest ski contest of all time. Line's Traveling Circus took the revelry to an all-time high by holding an on-hill pizza party.

• Chaos Ensues at the Orage Mast Chaos Ensues at the Orage Masters

  • From: TetonGravityResearch
  • Description:

    

     

    A heap of burlap bags and pink lawn flamingos lay smoldering, Ronald McDonald is on all fours vomiting, and a what appears to be a gang of bikers is grabbing every girl they can lay their hands on and carrying them away.

     

    

     

    No, it’s not the set of a post apocalyptic horror movie, it’s the eighth edition of the Orage Masters. After a two-year hiatus from the freeskiing scene, and on the eve of freeskiing’s Olympic debut, the Orage Masters is a gasoline-soaked breath of fresh air.  The competiton brought together eight film crews, pitted them head to head in a single elimination format, and let the other teams determine who won each match up.

     

    

     

    Instead of scoring on trick difficulty, amplitude, style, and speed, teams were judged on overall impression, antics, and fun. Or something like that. At one point the Level 1 team got a perfect ten score that was reduced for egg-throwing antics from the night before. There weren’t any appeals to the International Olympic Committee though, just loud cheers from the crowd.

    The day started with theatrical skiing antics from Traveling Circus, Toy Soldier Productions, Inspired Media’s, 4bi9 Media, Level 1, Stept Productions, The Kids, and a wild card crew named Me Gustan Aviones.

     

    

     

    Skiing prowess weighed in just as heavily as antics while competing however, as teams like The Kids—short Sean Pettit due to an injury—made it to the semi-finals thanks to big moves and gasoline. They were ejected after being warned not to light anything else on fire. Their response, as well as the crowds was a big “F-You!” The Masters isn’t winning, but having fun.

     

     

    And fun was had. When finals came around the entire scene was in full party mode.  Level 1 and 4bi9 each dropped more doubles than an In-N-Out over a 20-minute jam session that was complete with a party going on right in the middle of the course. Whiskey flowed like beer flowed like wine. The landing of the final jump was littered with costume parts. Ronald couldn’t stop puking. Little John Strenio tossed a triple back flip through the middle of it all and helped seal the win for team Level 1.

     

    

     

    The awards ceremony was short lived, and all the oversized victory checks wound up on fire. Who needs pageantry when there is a party going on in the parking lot?

     

     

    Events like the Orage Masters are important. Freeskiing has reached a level of competitiveness, professionalism, and maturity that warrants Olympic recognition, but at the end of the day, it’s only skiing. Mike Nick and Orage brought that to our fullest attention at this year’s Masters. Sure skiing might get cast into the mainstream public eye next year in Sochi, but for those of us who are lucky enough to know skiing already, this is a firm reminder of why we keep doing it. You know, fun with friends, the freedom of the mountains, and of gallons and gallons of gasoline. Right?

    Burton U.S. Open of Snowboarding Preview
    
    After 30 incredible years in Vermont, Burton decided to switch it up and move the U.S. Open of Snowboarding to Vail, Colorado. While there were mixed emotions about leaving Stratton, change can be good, especially when it means more ideal conditions for the riders and easier access to the venue for spectators.
    
    The U.S. Open has been the premier snowboarding event of the season year after year, featuring the world's best riders who have continued to push the level of progression. With the builders at Snow Park Tech dialing in the slope and pipe setup, there is no lack of perfection and originality. The slope course this year features a series of rails, jibs, a massive wall ride with a Mini car (the main Open sponsor) set up at the landing, and three kickers, challenging riders to get creative and making it fun to watch. 
    
    One of the most notable aspects of the Open is the equal prize purse for men and women. The total cash money of $341,000 is split evenly— $45,000 each for the winners of slope and pipe, $20,000 for second, and $10,000 for third. Riders get paid down to 8th place, which is pretty rad.
    
    For both pipe and slopestyle, one heat of 21 women, was whittled down to six and two heats of 21 men were knocked down to 12 for the finals. The riders get three runs to prove their skills and wow the judges, in hopes of standing on the podium and winning one of the most coveted titles in snowboarding.
    
    On the party circuit, Burton is bringing free entertainment to the masses, with Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis hot off the Heist Tour Friday evening and Santigold on Saturday, with Skratch Bastid late night. It should be epic!
    
    Catch the finals streaming live on: http://www.burton.com/US-Open/usopen_splash,default,pg.html
    
    Friday March 1, beginning at 10a.m.-2:45p.m. MST — Men's and Women's Slope
    
    Saturday March 2 from 10a.m.-2:45p.m. MST — Men's and Women's Pipe
     
    Don't miss the top athletes in the game including Shaun White, Louie Vito, Scotty Lago, Elena Hight, Gretchen Bleiler, Jamie Anderson, Kelly Clark, Mark McMorris, and Eric Willet just to name a few, throwing down this weekend in Vail, Colorado. Stay tuned for an event recap from the contest and parties coming at ya next week!

• 5 Awesome Apres Skiing Bars in 5 Awesome Apres Skiing Bars in North America

  • From: kenholden
  • Description:

    
    No day on the slopes is complete without a little after-party. Apres skiing is by no means a new concept, but it’s something that can turn even the worst conditions into an epic day. Every now and again, we’ll come across gems, some hidden and some not-so-hidden, that were simply meant to complete your trip to a specific resort.
    
    Homewood Resort - Big Blue View
    Sometimes, simplicity does it best. This small resort on the west side of Lake Tahoe offers one of the finest views in California and Nevada. New to the resort is the Big Blue View bar. Head up the Madden Chair on the northern portion of the resort, and look for the bright blue chairs and listen for the reggae beats. It might not be the greatest spot when the snow is dumping, but it’s going to be perfect for the blue bird and spring snow days. As most visitors will claim, the view overlooking Lake Tahoe from the Big Blue View is probably the best one of any Tahoe resort.
    
    
    
    Mammoth Lakes – Clocktower Cellar Pub
    Whiskey and skiing go together like peanut butter and jelly. While it’s not the easiest venue to find among the vast Mammoth Lakes village, it’s worth taking the time to look for it. The Clocktower Cellar Pub is a small basement bar, a far cry from the usual large restaurants and nightclubs that surround the world-famous ski resort. What attracts us to this specific bar is the exhaustive list of more than 100 whiskies from around the world. A few samplings and you’ll love the feel of this smaller bar, complete with a juke box for your après skiing entertainment. Make sure to ask the bartender about their personal favorites, you might get a taste of a secret stash not available on the menu.
    
    
    
    Mont Tremblant – Microbrasserie La Diable
    For the microbrew lover, good beer is hard to come by. As ski resorts grow and streamline their operations, the microbrew always seems to take a backseat. Fortunately, for the lovers of the Tremblant Ski Resort, you’ll never have to worry about that with the Microbrewery La Diable. Whether you’re just grabbing an après ski beer, or want the 20-minute tour, free samples of each beer are readily available. They usually have six or seven beers readily on tap for your eclectic pleasure, and the lounge-style jazz music makes it one of the most relaxing joints in the area.
    
    Still look at Apres ski when your vacation is over?  Check out this amazing Apres Ski wall art from Amazon.com
    
    
    
    Vail, Colorado – Garfinkel’s Restaurant & Bar
    When you’re done on these epic slopes, head down the Eagle Bahn Gondola and into the Lionshead to find Garfinkel’s. Trust us, you can’t miss it. This bar and restaurant is enormous, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. This place isn’t for the quiet-time après skiing, but for those who want to party well into the evening. With more than 20 different bottles and drafts, a full lineup of signature cocktails, and a menu spread that’s sure to please any palette, there are no bad days here. If you’re in the area, their New Year’s Eve party is one of the finest of any ski resort in North America.
    
    
     
    Killington, Vermont – McGrath’s Irish Pub
    For the lovers of Guiness out there, perhaps your ski priorities should be on the bars in the area. While the Wobbly Bar in Killington always seems to take the mainstream cake, the Irish lovers out there should detour to McGrath’s Irish Pub. This small Irish joint takes pride in serving Guiness the way it was meant to be…perfect. The owner is always out and about making sure that everyone is enjoying their selection from one of the best Irish menus on the east coast. In the summertime, McGrath’s only gets better. The parking lot is also a lot for some of the best trailheads, making it the perfect place to start and end your visit to Killington.
    
    Plenty of skiing and riding left in the season, in fact March is the best time to Apre and shred pow.  Save big when you book your lift tickets online through Liftopia.com

• Harlem Shake Meme Infiltrates Harlem Shake Meme Infiltrates Ski Culture

  • From: TetonGravityResearch
  • Description:

    In case you’ve been without the Internet all month, there is a meme on YouTube where people make 30-second clips of themselves dancing to the song “Harlem Shake” by Baauer.
    
    In brief, it all started when Baauer sampled a lyric from Philadelphia party rap crew Plastic Little and dropped his song "Harlem Shake" last spring. Baauer sampled the 2001 Plastic Little song titled “Miller Time” that ends with Jayson Musson's lyric “And if you bring a 40 bottle to battle me/ I’ll just punch you in the face/ then do the Harlem Shake.” The lyric references an actual fight Musson got in and how Musson ended it: by doing the dance from the late 1990s / early 2000s.
    
    Then Filthy Frank, a 19-year-old from New York, heard the song and made the first “Harlem Shake” video.
    
    
    
    “I was in a room with a few people. One of my friends was just playing the song on the speakers and I asked what [it was], and it just happened to be ‘Harlem Shake,’” Filthy Frank told The Fader music magazine. “As soon as the drop of the song came, we just started going crazy. We thought, well, we could turn this in to something good.”
    
    Now, as many as 4,000 Harlem Shake videos have been uploaded in a single day, and in two weeks more than 12,000 videos have been created, generating more than 44 million total views, The Fader reports.
    
    Of course, the ski industry got a hold of it, including us. Below is our Harlem shake video and a few others from the ski world.
    
    Now do the Harlem Shake.

    
    The Jackson Hole version was filmed on a GoPro HD Hero3 Black Edition, available at online at the Official GoPro® Store
    
    
    
    Harlem Shake Aspen style.

• Tiny House Tour - Episode 2 - Tiny House Tour - Episode 2 - Outdoor Research

  • From: outdoorresearch102344
  • Description:

    All of us have mountains and lines that beckon to us every day, every season, every turn—Giants that loom in the periphery of our memory and thoughts. These monoliths sleep in our wildest dreams. And sometimes they creep slowly, after years of hoping and wanting, into our reality. These lines turn into days of our life that we’ll never forget. They trump weddings, graduations, and other celebrations because they represent an achievement that others can’t understand unless they spent that day with you, saw you make those turns, and felt what it was like to be in those places. These mountains and lines are officiators of greatness, if only in our own psyche. But they signify greatness that you’ll never forget (and may never surpass) because being invited into the wild by a mountain is like heaven’s doors opening for your welcome.
    
    This December the OR team was called into the living room of one of our favorite peaks, a mansion that stoops over their existence every day they've ever skied in Washington’s North Cascades. Each time they've ventured into the threshold of this esteemed range, they've cautiously dusted off our shoes at the door hesitantly asking, “Are you sure?” But the mountain has been a gracious host. Polite and accommodating, serving up everything they'd hoped for as an intimidated guest.
    
    On our 15-hour mission in December, the gates opened with an honest certainty. Snow stability and freshness we’re expected as they climbed the nearly 7,000 vertical feet to the summit. After skiing that same distance in warm sunlight, but cold crystallized powder, back down to the valley floor, they were only half way done with the mission. They still had to go home. They still had to get back to the tiny house two drainages and another climb away. Their day and night we’re not over.
    
    Invitations can be just like that. You can’t make assumptions based on your R.S.V.P. The party might go on for longer than you’d hoped. And mountains are surprising hosts, often temperamental. But, sometimes they let you slip out the back door, going unnoticed, like the quiet guest who sat in the corner, barely uttering a sound, but soaking in all the glorious sounds, smells, and sights, of people enjoying the time that they are alive.

• Shit Jobs Part 6: Miniskirt-ed Shit Jobs Part 6: Miniskirt-ed Cocktail Waitress

  • From: brigidmander
  • Description:

    This series attempts to profile some of the best and worst shit jobs in a ski town. Don’t get us wrong, in no way do we intend to bash professions like these, they are a means to an end, the axis upon which our mountain lives spin. Without jobs like these, how would you ski over 100 days a season and still be employed?
    
    
    
    It sounds wrong, and it more or less is, according to the current, accepted norms of our society.
    
    “You can wear whatever you want, as long as it is a skirt. A short one.” The manager states this, and then gauges your reaction. You might look around, fairly unenthused, as a potential co-worker - with a tiny circle of fabric passing as a skirt - ferries a tray of beer past you. Yes, when the manager of a job tells you this, you should probably run away, unless you are pursuing a career path unrelated to skiing. 
    
    But, in this case, it is already December, this place is somehow still hiring, and you just moved to this mountain town for one and only one reason: ski all the time. And this job, cocktail waitress at a busy base-area apres-ski spot, starts at 3:00 p.m.
    
    Sure, you may have tried to be more upstanding. But everything good (i.e, night) is gone, and the local paper has options like: barista (serving coffee on powder mornings? Hahahaha!), hotel concierge (calmly assisting guests on powder mornings? I really don’t think so), retail clerk (standing forlornly among trinkets/tee shirts on powder morning? Sorry. Can’t. Do. That.), or babysitting (watch tiny non-verbal people at hotel while parents ski? No.). These are all the very definition of blowing it. Even if starvation is a concern, keep your eye on the ball: no day jobs. 
    
    So while the short skirts rule may seem wrong, all you can think about is the start time and base area location. What’s the big deal, really? You might get a little cranky for a minute thinking of your guy ski friends and their cool, night ski-tech, beer-drinking, no skirt wearing jobs, but you find yourself wondering if you still have that really cute little plaid skirt.  And that little black V-neck? And there it is: This is the only remotely acceptable schedule for skiing, and priorities are priorities. No commuting, very little ski day disruption? Ciao, standards! Miniskirt it is! 
    
    There are some interesting scenes to be immediately discovered on both the patron and co-worker sides. You may learn that only some of your co-workers view this as the only way to get an amazing ski schedule and pay bills. A few of the other waitresses will always take the cocktailing, mini-skirting scene rather seriously. They will look at the helmet-haired crew disapprovingly, but no one will care (we skied pow all day!). If the others skied, they’ve gone home on time, showered, curled hair, and some, you come to find out, have little trick like stuff their bras.  (According to some sources, it can get your five extra dollars a table. This skier did not test that one out. The line really did have to be drawn somewhere.)
    
    What I did test is that you can come skiing up to the door with five minutes to spare, run to the locker room, strip to ski socks (yes, unknowing drunk guys will totally see these as sexy knee socks!), tight ski shirt (a deep zip necks work well, actually) throw on said cute mini-skirt, madly fluff helmet hair, grab a little makeup, and clock in. Woo! I made about $150 on average an afternoon this way. Would it have been $200 if I went home and showered and curled my hair? Who cares! For another hour and half or so of skiing every day, $150 works great!
    
    Of course, you will also learn the finer points of serving hundreds of beers in an afternoon to hundreds of drunk guys who think they are all pros or are on ‘boy’s trips’ from fill-in-the-blank city. They may point out your abundantly visible quads (thanks, mini-skirt) say, “Woah, looks you ski a lot!” You might be tempted to say something sarcastic, but better yet is to just act all enthused about how rad their ski trip must be:  ‘Oh yeah, whatever, but what did you guys ski today?! You don’t have to listen to them because you’ve already brought them six pitchers and they have no idea what is going on now, or earlier in the day.  “We were over at, uh, what was it, hey Jeff, what was the name of that lift we skied today?”  “Oh yes, that lift is cool. I am sure you guys skied some amazing blues –er, super rad lines.”
    
    You will be asked to do a lot of shots, because every group you wait on will have decided that the boy’s trip actually sucks without girls. They will want to flirt with you, even though you are clearly in the weeds, have spilled beer on yourself, are possibly on the verge of tears, and have nine other tables of drunk guys who all want you to hang out at their table and do shots with them. The trick, if you want to oblige –  and you probably should, as people get stoked and leave bigger tips when they think they’re expanding the party - is to have the bartenders, who are always on your side, give you something non-alcoholic.
    
    Skirt and leering guys or not, the bottom line is that you ski all day, and since apres peters out around 6 or 7, you get to go home early, so you can be up early. Sure, it at least four hours of rushing drinks through extremely maniacal, chaotic celebrating, and you feel like you’ve run a very confused marathon everyday.  But when you stuff the skirt back in the locker, pocket your cash, and leave the feeling of being a stereotype hustling beers at the bar and head home, things don’t look so bad anymore.  Because it’s dumping outside, and you don’t have to be back at work until three.

• News: Avalanches Kill Two Skie News: Avalanches Kill Two Skiers In Wyoming

  • From: TetonGravityResearch
  • Description:

    Story via the Jackson Hole Daily
    
    Jackson Hole, Wyo. - A pair of unrelated avalanches near Jackson killed two backcountry skiers Sunday.
    
    Elizabeth “Liza” Benson, 28, and Nick Gillespie, 30, died from trauma in two separate slides, officials reported. The fatalities were the first of the winter and came after fresh snowfall over the weekend broke a prolonged dry spell in Jackson Hole.
    
    Benson was skiing in the Cliff Creek drainage, off Hoback Canyon in Sublette County, in a group of five people. The party, including her boyfriend and a physician, were skiing in the Clause Creek area, commonly reached by snowmobile.
    
    A slide with an 8-inch crown swept her into a tree at about 9,200 feet elevation, according to reports from the Bridger-Teton National Forest Avalanche Center and the Sublette County Sheriff’s Office. The Sublette Sheriff’s Office received a call from the group at about 3:25 p.m.
    
    The initial report was that a skier had been injured. The doctor in the group pronounced Benson dead during the phone call, the sheriff’s department said.

    ............
    
    Gillespie, a seasonal trail crew worker in Grand Teton National Park, was the second valley resident to be killed Sunday. He was descending the southeast slopes of Survey Peak, near the park’s north boundary, when he got caught in an avalanche around 5 p.m.
    
    Gillespie was skiing in a group of four that had been staying at the Upper Berry Creek patrol cabin since Thursday, park officials said.
    
    The group climbed and skied the 9,277-foot peak that day. Two remained near the base of the mountain while Gillespie and a partner made a second lap, park deputy chief of interpretation Mike Nicklas said.
    
    Gillespie descended first and apparently triggered the avalanche.

• The Case For Cowardice: Heel P The Case For Cowardice: Heel Pieces

  • From: ryandunfee
  • Description:

    What you are about to do with your uncomfortable feet has the potential to be painful and expensive. Photo by Ryan Dunfee.
    
    Words by Ryan Dunfee
    
    “Heel Pieces” is a column by Ryan Dunfee published twice a month on TetonGravity.com. In each entry, Dunfee tackles an area of ski culture in an effort to provide insight to the sport. This week, Dunfee argues the case for cowardice on the slopes. See: Being a giant pussy. 
    
    After the tragedy of last season and the explosively emotional Tunnel Creek story in the New York Times, a few corners of the ski community have begun a quiet conversation about what kind of skiing, and what kind of skier, “we” should be promoting. The most fearless, fastest, and gnarliest dude or dudette has long been the promoted emblem of our sport, and any “progression” in that direction for a given individual is a general good, barring any costs of that progression.
    
    So far, we have yet to lay out the beneficial attributes of being a total whimp on the mountain. You know, the guy or gal who takes it slow, heads inside when they get wet or cold, or turns around when they see moguls, rocks, or hear anyone mention the word “avalanche.” Of particular note, the health and financial benefits of avoiding the gnar have gone completely unappreciated. That’s why I’m here to lay out the case for cowardice on the slopes.
    
    It’s Cheaper
    
    While the cost prohibitive nature of snowsports is no doubt a major factor of its anemic 0.6 percent annual growth rate, the bell curve really starts to head north once you’ve crossed off that “Level III” box when you’re getting your bindings mounted at the shop. Not only are you so good and so attuned to the demands of your various skiing escapades that you need more than one of every piece of equipment barring a helmet, but you run through it at a fast clip.
    
    The feeble have a major advantage in budgeting for their ski excursions. Core shots and blown edges don’t happen when you avoid thin cover trails and the terrain park at all costs. Exploded heel pieces and snapped tails are avoidable by avoiding time in the air and through rough terrain at high speeds. 
    
    You’re Never Injured
    
    Even more cost-prohibitive than $800 powder skis and iron-stiff boots are skiing-related medical bills. Few things are sadder to come across on your social media feed than a buddy calling out for help to fundraise for another buddy who blew their knee/hip/back but have no medical insurance. Thought your sled was expensive?? Try $35,000 ACL surgery.
    
    However, fearful skiers and riders never put themselves in situations in which there is even the possibility of discomfort, let alone injury. Insurance premiums stay low, walking is a permanently crutch-free experience, and when they’re marching at a spirited clip to the nursing home shuffleboard tournament, you’ll be limping there in between pounding pills to deal with all your arthritic joints.
    
    Your Boots Are Comfortable!
    
    Ski boots: the Achilles Heel of the skiing experience, and quite possibly the single most inconvenient, ugly, and uncomfortable piece of equipment in all of sports. Expert skiers in particular suffer the most, as the demands of cliff drop landings, tight moguls, steep couloirs, and high-speed GS turns require tightening the boot down until circulation cuts off and toenails wilt into stalagmites. Not to mention that if you have any of those normal foot issues (6th toe, bunions, bow legs, etc.), you have to spend another couple hundred bucks to warp a piece of solid plastic to the exact physique of your hoof (insert ad for Fischer Vacuum Fit™).
    
    Meanwhile, casual skiers get to buy second-hand 80 flex boots for $200, not adjust a thing on them, and stretch their toes while they cruise groomers with the buckles undone. They might even pass by you on the cat track under KT-22 while you lay in a ski patrol toboggan, knee and heelpiece blown, writhing in pain. Who’s laughing now?

• The Art Of Ski Town Party Plan The Art Of Ski Town Party Planning: Heel Pieces

  • From: ryandunfee
  • Description:

    
    
    “Heel Pieces” is a column by Ryan Dunfee published twice a month on TetonGravity.com. In each entry, Dunfee tackles an area of ski culture in an effort to provide insight to the sport. This week, Dunfee takes on the biggest issue facing ski towns world wide: partying.
    
    The Art Of Ski Town Party Planning
    
    Ryan Rambo grew up snowboarding the tiny hills near Columbus, Ohio. After college, Rambo moved to Seattle, started snowboarding the Cascades, and at the same time began break dance lessons. After years of traveling, we would eventually meet in Bariloche, Argentina, where Rambo, completely sober and in an orange one-piece, was throwing down a torrent of a one-man show, completely unafraid to breakdance solo at a party Corona and Reef were throwing in the base area.
    
    We would eventually become roommates in Tahoe, and Rambo’s social fearlessness, relentless enthusiasm for dancing, and passion for creative celebration concepts has led him to a formidable amateur party-planning career around the Lake. He’s been able to break the mold of boring dude-heavy dubstep fiestas and has instead rolled out a series of dance-heavy throwdowns with excellent music, loose inhibitions, and, most improbably, steady 50:50 male to female ratios. Rambo Party Productions and the DEA (Dance Enforcement Agency) have put on standout parties like Barmaggedeon, the Barmuda Triangle Halloween Pub Crawl, and an epic Soul Train-themed party that served as my going-away party from Tahoe. So I asked him to divulge a few of his party planning secrets for all of you on the cusp of throwing your ugly sweater Christmas party.
    
    
    
    Ryan Rambo: Firstly, anyone will agree that the No. 1 problem in ski towns is their lack of women. Hundreds of millions of unscientific studies done by many anonymous party goers conclude that parties in ski towns have guy:girl ratios ranging from 6:1 all the way up to 9:1. This creates a testosterone unbalance that rivals backwoods coal mines and lumberyards in West Virginia. Balance is key in creating a positive vibe. Trust me, no one wants a circle jerk in the middle of the dance floor.
    
    With that said, every part of the party planning process should be considered with the female in mind. No matter who you are, let your potential female guests be the guiding beacon in following the three-step process outlined below that will guarantee a good time.
    
    
    
    1. QUALITY MUSIC: Play music people like. Everyone has their preferences, but the fact is, most will not enjoy the whomp whomp wiggity wack wobbles of brostep all night long. Find a DJ who is committed to adjusting for the crowd, keeping the energy high, and knows WHAT MAKES PEOPLE WANNA DANCE AND JUMP AND SWEAT. The music brings the party and it should never be discounted. Never have a party that is DJ’ed by some randobro who wants to play the latest Justin Beiber dubstep remix on their iPod, or let them gain control of your music output.
    
    2. CREATIVITY: Create a theme and get super weird! Make the theme unique, but open enough for people’s creativity to run wild. This is essential for bringing in the female beings. Females like dressing up. Get them stoked on dressing up and they will come…and bring their sizzling hot friends. Plus having a costume means the bros have to get out of their tall tees and wear something that is actually cool.
    
    3. PROMOTION: If you have the wind in your sails from creating an event that is quality and creative, then naturally your passion will reveal itself as your party vision evolves and it is time to promote. If you want to throw a true rager — a lightnight bolt smashing, in-your-face party — then EVERYTHING in your life must be dedicated to the cause. Your entire schedule leading up to the event must be dedicated to raging and partying and dancing 24/7. Going to other (crappier) parties and exhibiting your own superior party skills, followed by an invite to your (superior) event is a great tactic. When you invite someone to your party, whether it’s at a bar, on the hill, or in the supermarket, make sure you do a super sweet Michael Jackson-esque spin move after to emphasize how serious you are about dancing and getting wild.
    
    OTHER HOT PARTY TIPS:
    
    •    If you want to get people pumped at the beginning of your party, run into a crowd and start flailing your arms and jumping around and screaming “PARTY!” until people start jumping around and partying with you.
    •    Bring popsicles: people love raging the dance floor with popsicles in their mouths. Get wild and create a glorious cocktail by letting your popsicle slowly melt in a cup of vodka.
    •    Get tons of lasers and fog. People go wild over laser beams. It makes them feel like they are partying in the future.
    •    Watch Soul Train videos on YouTube, and better yet, use a projector to play Soul Train Youtube videos on the wall during your party. As far as dance tutorials and inspiration go, both for yourself and your guests, Soul Train is where it’s at. Here you will see innovative body movements and that kind of sexy funk that has been starting dance parties since the 1970’s. You WILL get laid if you can dance like they do on Soul Train.
    
    *In addition, don’t invite males. Dudes will be at the party no matter what you do.
