The Bouncer

To gain entrance to STB--you had to get by the bouncer first. Fletcher Yaw kept everything under control at the front door. Overheard from the back of the line "he's not just some 'roided out freak with a clipboard, he can really rip".

King of the Ball

Gerry looks pretty proud of himself ---as he should be. His creation, the Ski Tuners Ball, in its 24th year, is always a HUGE event, early season. This year's throw-down, may have been the "best ever". Gerry proved again that he's a balla.
