People came from all over the country, all over the world in fact, to see old friends, make new ones, raise money for some worthy causes, enjoy poorly performed music (excluding the vocal stylings of one Mark Finch), and of course to ski and drink their faces off.  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The thing everyone had in common was some sort of connection to one Ari Nielsen, and an "I have no idea what the f*** I am doing here, but Ari told me to come so I made the trip," sort of attitude.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In case you missed it, this video should explain everything...&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-7c3b692a4c52bb7" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v4.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D07c3b692a4c52bb7%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331934477%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D50A0231600DB457D70C1E8852EA371D0C26A821F.3435E33BCC7043426C8B8EE764DFE549E0F58EB1%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D7c3b692a4c52bb7%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DQ_A5SpGLKJkk-hz_nQpBRIpBnUU&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v4.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D07c3b692a4c52bb7%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331934477%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D50A0231600DB457D70C1E8852EA371D0C26A821F.3435E33BCC7043426C8B8EE764DFE549E0F58EB1%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D7c3b692a4c52bb7%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DQ_A5SpGLKJkk-hz_nQpBRIpBnUU&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1024751255073674326-1061575182074681992?l=greatestskiweekendever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=7c3b692a4c52bb7&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatestskiweekendever.blogspot.com/feeds/1061575182074681992/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatestskiweekendever.blogspot.com/2009/01/everyone-who-came-to-inaugural-g-swe.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1024751255073674326/posts/default/1061575182074681992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1024751255073674326/posts/default/1061575182074681992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatestskiweekendever.blogspot.com/2009/01/everyone-who-came-to-inaugural-g-swe.html' title=''/><author><name>Noah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11561252813965047696</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
