Nationals 2023

Hey there 😏, it’s been a while ;) I guess we should talk about the actual reason VASST decided to wreak havoc on Mammoth Lakes - not Property Manager Timmy, or the sweet deals on the Bargain Grocery Outlet 😘😘, but perhaps a competition?!? (I know, shocker). Most of our comps were cancelled 🤪🕺🏻, maybe because the great state of California gave us 15ft of fresh snowfall for excellent free skiing conditions, or perhaps USCSA was scared that the other teams wouldn’t come back after being absolutely dogged 🌭 on by the dirty south. Of the events that were had, VASST made it’s presence known:

While some people crashed and burned on the skiercross course (um me), Crappy Higgins made skiers everywhere proud when he absolutely STOMPED 8th place (rumor has it his swamp ass froze solid, providing necessary traction to glide across the course)!!!! For women’s skier cross, Cat DeSkiSki swiped 10th!

Moving on to Alpine Skiing, Logan Lindstrom was overall just really stinky at nationals; it was an odor so strong that I personally was in recovery for days. What was this odor, you ask? 😤👀👃🏻 PURE, UNADULTERATED….. SPEED. Logan tore up the slalom course, placing 9th in the nation for our ladyskiers. But the real question is: who has seen austin and logan in the same room as one another?

Maddie Bootiecheeks placed 17th in Lady Snowboarder’s Bordercross, and man, what I would have given to see that magnificent head of curls on competition day - #hardbootswho?

Now, for a massive congratulations to everyone’s favorite underdogs as our manboarders placed THIRD IN THE NATION for slopestyle. Billy stomped an epic tamedog, and caleb didn’t throw out his back!! To the power of cheeseburgers and the durty south, Ross Brown (Downtown of course), Caleb Jung (Gramps), Charlie Hepner (Chachie), Billy Robic (free dobby), and Johnny Martin (yo where’d his teeth go?), you have made VASST proud.
