Hey Lisa , don't forget , your one of us now ;-) . And that's because
all
the normal people fled in horror of us whackos and it's Scott's duty
to
stay
here and mind the nuthouse .

Ah, I've been "one of you" for a year now. Is it my collection of
medieval weaponry that makes me not one of the "normal people"? Or my
insistence on thinking about skiing when it's approaching 80 degrees
outside? Or does the fact that I'm just plain tired of the irrational
ranting actually make me "normal"?

Lisa

medievel weaponry ? Sounds kinky , my mind is running away with me . Too
bad
your married .

LOL, not THAT kind of weaponry Just one of those odd collecting
things. Sometimes I get out in the yard before the gardeners and do
some "pruning". It's fun

Thinking about skiing when it's warm out means your a
perfectly normal well adjusted person , what do you think I'm doing here.
I've been shopping for ski clothes for next season . I sort of look at
the
irrational rantings of scott and the people who mess with him as an off
season sport . Sort of like Whale harpooning .

I'm deep in thought about season pass(es) for next season

Sometimes the newsgroup sport is fun, but so often it's just
repetitively boring. There are lots worse things than Spock lurking on
Usenet, believe me, I know.

Lisa Horton being one of them, a sick bitch who thinks death threats, vile
jokes about molesting children, and gross defamation is a sport.

Actually I don't think any of those things, although I'm pretty sure
that's actually irrelevant in this case.

I've got no beef with you Scott. You could just ignore me if you like.

Alpine dropped their prices a couple of hundred. Plus your spring pass
$99 goes to a season pass.

You want to know how nice the folks at Alpine are? When I found out
that my pass from another resort entitled me to ski free late season at
Alpine, I talked to them and they refunded the money for my spring pass!

I've looked at the (amazingly low) pass prices, and worked out how many
days I'd have to ski to make each one pay. The midweek pass looks
really tempting. My goal next year is at least 20 days on the
mountains. It makes me smile just thinking and typing that

Don't think about it - do it.
Come on in - the slush is fine.

How is it really? I missed last week's snow due to a head cold
degrading my balance. With the nights this warm, is it still worth the
drive? Like in the next few days?

Well. I like it. There's a deep pack, holding up well. Plenty of skiing
for everybody. Where they've worked the snow the surface is easy for
intermediates, if that's your concern? I've been out on the edges
following the sun. The early exposed slopes get slushed around 10am but
ski well earlier - you need good technique after it slops up - I enjoy
the slush but some folks don't.

The main problem with the warm nights the last couple of days is the
spontaneous warm snow releases and surface slides in the bowls. Some
good size slides have kicked off, and the cornices are primed to
release. The guys have kept the upper bowls closed therefore, which is
eventually going to be a treat, since the surface is smoothing out and
corning up - once we get a clear night it'll freeze good and the corn
will be something wonderful everywhere.

Of course it's worth it. Not to be missed. Plan on Memorial Day
especially - it'll be a great party.

... Hey Bob , aren't you the one
who told me about Patagonia ? You troublemaker , my credit card is close
to
it's limit . So far I bought Capilene underwear , 2 SW shirts ,2 Mock
T's ,
2 MW variable knits, 2 regulators insulation tops , 2 turtleneck zip T's
, 2
short sleeve capilene t shirts , etc etc etc .

Whoa, I didn't realize you had issues with purchase restraints as well.
Well, recognizing you have a problem is the first step.

Say, did you notice Patagonia's soft shell goods? Those Core Skin
Jackets and Super Guide pants are really tits. Perfect compliment to
your underwear ensemble.

I hope it's cold next year!!!!!!

Who cares? You'll look great.

Bob

very funny , very funny , don't need any soft shell stuff right now & my
pants are fine , actually thanx , obviously I liked it or I wouldn't have
bought so much . I convinced myself that's it's not just for skiing , tried
running with some of the SW stuff and it worked really good . Amazing how
after running a few miles the damn thing wasn't wet one drop .
For a 2nd layer for skiing I tried the regulator R1 & R5 , hopefully that
will give me some variety. On a side note , I also bought a Marmot wind
jacket . After searching on the net it kept coming up as a good all around
layering piece and the reviews and feedback were very good so I had to buy
it . Anyone try that ?

Where do you get your reviews. I'm looking for a good site for price
comparison and reviews for outdoor gear and technical clothing.

I'm better now, but I still find the groomed areas easier and sometimes
more fun than the lumpy stuff. Maybe if I had heavier skis At least
I no longer have any trouble or fear of getting down from the top.

I don't mind the slush too much, the only thing that bothers me is when
I hit one of those patches that like "grabs" the skis, trying to pitch
me forward.

I'm watching the weather reports closely. CLOSELY

I'll take your word for it and proceed with my plans for this week then,
more smiles. I may have to work next Monday, but otherwise, I'm liking
this budding tradition of skiing the last day

You just called what happens here "sport". And you have never condemned
your sick buddies, no matter how vile.
In your world, that's irrelevant. In my world, that's an utter lack of
ethics, morals, and decency.

They toy with you Scott. I'd condemn it except that you invite it. It
takes two (or more) to tango Scott. You could end the dance any time
you like.



I've got no beef with you Scott. You could just ignore me if you like.

I'd rather point out what a vile bitch you are, if you don't mind. You
could prove me wrong, of course. Easy enough to do.

Indeed, so easy that I do it every time I post.

Its hard to imagine what depravaty might overcome this group if Scooter
wasn't around to keep everybody in line.
The place is full of guys like me - I killfiled the bugger, what sick mind
would do that?.
