Introduction

I've been lurking here for a while, so before I posted, I thought I'd
give a short introduction.

My name is Jim, and I live in Rochester, NY, home of lots of snow and
small hills. I'm 50 years old, been skiing for almost 30 years. Been
skiing almost everywhere in Vermont and New York, with some trips to
Colorado, Utah, Tahoe and Whistler and Tremblant. As my id indicates,
moguls and I don't get along, but I'll try almost anything else.

I went to the local shop today to get a new pair of skis for one of my
sons (I have 11 year old twin boys) and, of course, I walked out with a
pair of new Volkl Supersport 5 Stars for myself (great deal... $528
including the bindings). I'm keeping my old Volants for rock skis, if my
wife doesn't put them through my ears when the bill comes in.

Need less to say, I am stoked for the snow to fly. We're going back to
Steamboat this year, and it looks like it's shaping up to be a fantastic
snow year.

Ok, now I'll shut up for a while. Thanks for listening.
