Twobuddha is a boring person, at least as a persona on the 'net goes,
and you guys (you know who you are) keep him entertained for all these
years? You guys must be boring as hell as he does. Need a helping hand
to get out of the predicament? Maybe some all-mountain free skiing
helps,

This dumb**** freak is one of the most deluded and deranged wack jobs
on the net. Not to mention an amoral and unethical coward who takes
cheap shots...while skiing with terrorists, psychopaths, pathological
liars, and the rest of the regulars on rsa.
Typical dickless cheap shot from a wack job.
Now go **** yourself, freak.

Ah, I see you've given up on flatboarding and reverted to plain old
skiing ...

Did you catch my replay re Alpine Meadows? I'll look it up and repeat
the pertinent portion below:

Not Alpine Meadows - Homewood is doing that offer. Homewood is closing
middle of next month on a fixed date, and is trying to jack up midweek
skier numbers until then.

Alpine is selling a full remainder-of-the-season pass March 30 for $139.
They plan to close with the snow, probably late May. $139 is usable
toward full pass next year.

Anyway, if you're coming let me know...

Yes, I do detect some edging there. I don't know that I'd call this
"plain old skiing", but it's well within the norms of what I see on a
regular basis.

Everytime Itchy posts a video I have to remind myself of this:

I don't know if I'd call it "All-mountain free skiing "... sure looks
like an intermidiate on-piste run to me. I always thought that "All-
mountain free skiing " involves off-piste skiing, but hey, that's just
me. YMMV.

I like the flapping arms thing though. Reminds of of how my daughter
skied when ske was about 6 years old. ;-)

Been decades since my kids were on development team at 4,5,6 etc, but I
still enjoy watching the d-team snowbugs flying around the mountain with
their coaches; making wild turns, leaping off moguls, plunging into
powder, and always with the grin and the arms flapping and the poles
going every which-away. Priceless.

I think maybe "taichiskiing" is in touch with his inner child.

Fool you, eh? No, the skier is not me, I'm the chaser. He was a
psia level 3 coach. As I said, all styles merge at the end in "line-
skiing" in the high level skiing.

Thanks, just got it now. Well, if you want to meet up, I go make a run
with you, maybe after next week's forecasted storm? I heard a lot of
good things at Homewood and Alpine Meadows.

Your observation is so predictable; now we learn that the skier is ex
level 3 coach, does that make the hill bigger? My "all-mountain" is
defined as from top to bottom and all the sides of a mountain, off-
piste is only a part of it.

Yeah, the 6 year-old has a smart idea. If you ever watch John
Clendenin's clips (1 or 2 minutes clips featured in one of RSN morning
shows), you'll find all experts showed in his clips ski with open
arms, even though they still holding poles.

YMMV, indeed,
