His lines are always so long that I can't read em! Looks like I missed

I like the idea of singling out posts but not posters. POTM and SSOM on
RBR is pretty good and funny sometimes.

Terje Mathisen...someday, I hope to meet him. We are actually going to
Norway next week and will be in Sjoesjoen (sp?) to ski. My wife is

Thanks. We won't meet this time, unfortunately, we're invited to a
niece's birthday party on saturday.

doing the Inga Lami and the Birken. I've already done the Birken and
I'm going to ski for fun...lots of trails and no pressure.

Have a nice trip, conditions have been _really_ great now, last week was
winter break for Oslo, we spent a long weekend at our cabin above Rjukan.

I'll post a few panoramic photos just to make you all envious. :-)

Hey T-M: Looks like we got left off Jay's prestigious list. While we
may not be considered valued contributors to r.s.n, we can take
consolation in the fact that we're not rollerskiing in February, like
folks in the midwest often have to do.

Jay, up to mischief again? No open nominations or write-ins? Oh,
better shut up, Gene, he'll think you're being provocative.

(snip of OYB stuff)

Jeff,

If you are talking about Chris Cline it should be: HER lines...

John

The "Ferry Grill" Technical Excellence Award.
1) Janne G (mpeg downloads) And ON THE LAST DAY GOD CREATED JANNE G -
and gave him a good computer to UPLOAD SKI VIDEO !!!!!!Y AAYYY

Amen to that

The "Gunde" Awards are not a popularity contest... Well, maybe they
are... Anyway, it can be good to be left off the list... How would you
like to be me, leading the "Johann Muhlegg" Let's Talk About Me
Award... Did I tell you about the time I beat Wenner in the '95
Birkie? Oops! Now I know why I'm leading that category...

Next year I hope to confer with the selection panel about more awards
like "The Jonathan Slouber" Top California Poster... How about;

1) Bryant Tolles...

Jay Tegeder
Like ski racing, not everyone can win a "Gunde". I'm just the
spokesperson and didn't take part in the selection process...

Hey, Chris (and John): I never knew! The Net is blind, baby.

Nathan 2nd
Zach 3rd

This season Zach wins for his "pressure sensitivity of ski tips" review
post. : ) That was some hardcore ski lore verbage. More! : )

Pete and Trond get good "flash appearance" awards of substance. : )
