hahhaha! i'm not in the git-along gang! i'm the one that all the green skiers crash into on the shared trails. they just have an affinity for me. right as i'm sweeping past them at super fast speeds, they turn into me for no good reason. so annoying.

Old school baby, old school!

but if I was to start going more frequently I'd buy some parabolics.

That reminds me of somehting I have been wondering...and you might know the answer to it.

Back when I was a tiny bastard in a red snowsuit who skiied with reckless abandon at Vail, there was a set of 3 large pine trees off to the left side of the bunny hill at vail that had abotu 4 feet between the trunks that I used to blaze through when I would go down that hill (till they put the Slow Ski Zone in effect in 1985...got stopped by a Ski Patrol dude for going too fast while "threading the needle" as I called it in 85 lol)....Are those trees still there?

God...I hear vail is all crazy now though. They had not even built their first quad lift the last time I was there.

yeah, gotta love the "wedge" people who lose control and accidentally turn down a black instead of a green hahaha

I remember watching a few people just lose the wedge and you see them flying down a hill with their arms out like birds hoping that that will actually slow them down then seeing them give up and it and drop like a blouder only to roll another 2,000 feet in a ball of powder

I have a close friend who lives in Deep Creek...

WISP anyone? LOL. Seriously though, it's cheap and it's a free place to crash.

I was there a few weeks ago, the tubing hill was already open.

those trees are still there, I was lucky enough to hane a friend who was on vail's ski patrol so we pretty much got away with anything. The quad lifts are really nice with not only a ski rest, but also the wind bubble when the weather is bad up top
