You encourage children to snowboard? I shall have to report you to the proper authorities for child abuse. Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares.

Maybe FIS has stopped holding speed skiing meets? http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/disciplines/speedskiing/ They have 6 events coming up in 2011 At the risk of making a ski related post, I ran into that event several years ago at Sun Peaks. You freaks would have loved the lycra. Otherwise, a very boring spectator sport. Like most skiing events. Wait, wait, swoosh, wait. |

I was wondering; given the same snow and path; which is faster Skis or Snowboards? gr That's a great question, and the pussies here have done a lot of research. Several of them claim to have seen me on the slopes. Of course, none of them had the nads to say hello. Considering both snowboarders and skiers were involved, I wonder who was faster in fleeing from the scene? The boarders or the skiers? Another question: does the wearing of ski diapers slow them down? Does urine ruin a wax job? Enquiring minds want to know. |

Just one more reason it's a crappy hill. My opinion of Mt. High is that it is not worth wasting a good skiing day, but that it might be ok for a weekday. Have you ever been there on a weekday? ONLY on weekdays and only when there's some kind of discount and there's some other good reason for going there. Last time was in Feb or March when I gave the grandspawn snowboard lessons for their birthdays. Closer and cheaper than Big Bear and hey, they're only SNOWBOARD lessons for chrissake! From what you said above, not a very good place for a snowboard lesson. |

Except he has good reason to flap. |
