Kittens is a baller, sounds to me like you have it going on. Let me break it down; in school, skiing all the time - east coast west coast its all good. My favorite is the lawyer on retainer, neva know mang!

BTW, I managed not to hurt myself skiing yesterday, I thought that is important detail to mention with the people reading this thread.....

I think blue is cursed, I'm absolutely convinced.
Three weeks ago I went out, split my head open and left a lot more blood on the hill than I cared to donate. Helmet ordered next day once the loss of blood subsided.
Went this Friday for the first time since, helmet on and feeling great. Then my buddy shatters his collar bone into three pieces, not even two hours into the day. Turn of events doesn't look too promising.

Who wants to go with me next? One guarantee is you'll come home injured, carried down in the sled and will be on a hospital bed within hours. Who's down?

Lol. I was a skateboarder through middle school and high school. I assumed snow boarding would come naturally but spent almost an entire day falling on my ***. I never went more than a few feet. I have excellent balance and coordination but it was pathetic. Skiing was marginally better.

no doubt you'll have me beat by next month, I think I put maybe 1k on the car since sept. I might actually be exempt from emissions this year.



almost identical mods to mine, except I probably have more NHV due to the sphearical bearing PSRS, but I don't have an issue with daily duty. I did all those mods because they make the car more enjoyable to drive.



I think you mean your parents have a lawyer on retainer



I thought I broke my *** last time I went boarding. tried a couple times to learn how to ride but never really took a liking to it. mostly because of all the ice we have here. all you have to do is catch an edge and you're going down hard. it wouldn't be so bad landing like that on the fresh powder out West, but not so much on this East ice.
Ya my coilovers are also bs bearings. And no I have an attorney on retainer in addition to my traffic attorney. My parents wouldn't need an attorney my father is an attorney. I'm going to love the comments that come out of you ****s in a few.

How did you like that traffic today? Took me 30 minutes to go the 1.5 miles home after work.


I don't think my car will ever reach 100k miles. I've only driven it 5.5k miles in the two years of owning it. I'm currently sitting at 25k miles.

thats messed up you cracked your head open, I never got hurt that bad. Probably scar me from skiing for life if I did.

people were just starting to wear helmets when I was getting out of skiing. had I known then what I know now I'd be going down the mountian with my SCCA approved snell 2005 full face.

I lucked out and found out about that road work on my way home from lunch, so I knew to avoid it on the ride home. Still though, it took me almost 30min to get home. <- I feel like a wuss b!tching about a 30min commute when I used drive 6+ hours at a time in my EVO traveling from MA to PA.

Yea I was learning going down Lazy Mile and Sidewinder. Mile isn't very hard but I went the day after the snow, they got 8 inches, it was ungroomed and really choppy from everyone pushing it around. Felt good falling on fresh snow in the snow. When night time came it was a different story.

Funny, we got there at 8:30, banged out 5 runs quick and then the 10:00 rush came. It was more tiring standing in line then skiing! That was my first time out in like 3 years. My wife and I are going to Elk the weekend of the 12th this month. I will be night skiing Friday and day skiing Sat. I figured with all the snow I needed to get out there already, I still had a good time even with the massive crowd. Somehow I managed to schedule my ski weekend on the same weekend as the last Winter Series Autox (they had to have moved dates around, I know I checked). If anyone wants to meet up at Elk Sat. morning the 13th, I will be there ripping it up looking for some Glades to ski (probably need to get on a plane for that).
When I was there the 4 man was closed for a few hours then opened up. Thank god it wasn't as busy as the weekends.

My buddy cracked his *** on a rail there and broke his *** haha There really is a lot of ice here your right.

My buddy said he cracked a rib his first time lol.

I hit my head hard twice with no helmet. Once was in the sun and once was at night when it was all ice, the second one killed. I just need to work on going on my toes, on my heels I'm fine.

Same here. I was confident going in from gathering tips before hand but damn its not easy. I had a few Yeunglings at the bar and had a little drunk confidence buzz going on and came out of the bar doing GREAT and then idk wtf happen. I guess that I sobered up haha

I do think the trails were **** and the rental board was garbage.

Kevin, go down Paradise next time. It's much easier and less crowded than Lazy Mile. Rental boards are definitely garbage. If you're serious about gettign into snowboarding, SierraSnowboard has some great deals in the off season.

That they do, I picked up a new board/ bindings from tactics for 75% off or so.
