The Canyons put one in last summer (and according to the mountain hosts, it was the most amazing, exciting, spectacular, not-to-be-missed feature at the entire resort.) My home hill tore out the superpipe last summer and replaced it with a race-arena. That's a dedicated race training hill, and to give the young athletes a true workout they installed a high-speed (but non-detachable) rope tow. So instead of 1 minute training followed by 5 minutes sitting, it's more like 1 minute training followed by 3 minutes of exercise. It's modeled after the hill in Minnesota that produced Lindsay Vonn. What hill is that? |

The Canyons put one in last summer (and according to the mountain hosts, it was the most amazing, exciting, spectacular, not-to-be-missed feature at the entire resort.) At the risk of making a skiing related post: Bert and I skied the Canyons this year. After we humiliated Brain Fried Bob Thompson by showing up at the mid mountain lodge, on time, with nary a sniff of his full diapers (yeah, yeah, for the umpteenth time he didn't show up) I took him over to the north side. We decided to get away from the boarders. The rope tow takes you up a short slope so you can get to the other side of the resort. So we come steaming into the tow, trying to catch it on the fly, and run into a bunch of bunnies in a group lesson. The dumb**** instructor had given them absolutely no clues about how to ride a ****ing rope tow, he was standing at the top and watching the Warren Miller show of bunnies crossing tips, falling off the rope, blocking the way, etc. Had to wait a couple minutes while they sorted it out. Needless to say, I told the instructor he was incompetent and that I didn't appreciate him wasting my time. Later on in the day, Bert notices his brand new Mountain Hardwear shell gloves had worn through the palm seam and had separated. They don't make gloves like they used to. Hey, did I mention I gave a couple week's notice, and neither Diaper Bob or any other Diaper Team Six member showed up to spew their crap in person? It was a good day. |

Unlike you, I've never claimed to have been in the military, or have PUC's, etc. How humiliating for you. Claiming to have PUC's, then being so stupid you admitted they were earned before you served in the unit. If you ever served. Hey, Wack Job Waldron? Since you're such a stickler for veracity, how about doing some research on your buddy Dickless Horvath? Oooooops, forgot. No matter how much you lie, no matter how much your friends lie, you never call them out, and you never admit to lying. No matter how clear the proof that you lied, no matter how clear the proof your friends lied. Just like in court. When you lied, got proven a liar, but continue to tell the same ridiculous lie. No wonder Horvath and you serve in DIAPER Team 6. |
