Day 186 - SCHLITTENTAG!!!

April 9, 2011

Red Bull Schlittentag at Crystal Mountain.  The sledding course you see below is WAY steeper than it looks and there's a jump near the bottom.  The problem with the course is the hill built to stop the sleds after they complete the course.  The hill is about 15 feet tall.  It needed to be 30 ft tall.  One group built up way to much speed, launched off the ramp that was supposed to stop them, and landed flat on their backs on the ice.  It was the equivalent of jumping off a two story building.  Bad times.
Theme:  SUPER MARIO KART
starring
Danny as Mario
Whitney as Bowser
Nick as Princess Peach
OH NO!!  BOWSER HAS KIDNAPPED PRINCESS PEACH... again



I don't remember this as a kid.  



The Karts performed great in the snow.  Totally 150cc!!




The costumes and theme were a total hit.  There were so many comments about how awesome everything looked.  The only problem was all the kids wanting to sit in the karts and play with the toys.


Darn kids.
