Slush Cup '06
August 20, 2006
The Pinnacle Peak Slush Cup is an old event revived by members of the Turns-All-Year community. It takes place at a small tarn that melts out below a decayed glacier between Pinnacle and Castle Peaks in the Tatoosh. The goal is to build up speed as you ski down the 200 foot slope of the glacier remnants and then continue as far across the tarn as you can go. This year's edition was the fourth in its revival, and around 50 people showed up. Things started off calmly enough, with people mustering the speed to make it halfway across. Then Marcus hit the slope and let his Tele Daddies loose. He skimmed across the surface of the water with only the tails of his skis even touching the water until he finally came to a rest in the tarn's outlet. After that it was game on and people were flying across the tarn like regular water skiers. Then, after a couple hours of that it was time to build the kicker...
