Ski Season is In!

[starkestrel]

As a skier, I get that artificial snow is a positive thing. It allows you to enjoy the hobby better, keeps the slopes running, makes for a longer season, keeps people employed longer, and may even make for better skiing.

As a weirdo, it just doesn't seem right to me. It's like artificial waves for surfing, artificial sun for sunbathing, artificial whitewater rivers for rafting, etc.

Anyway, my point was that skiing down an artificial slope with "real" snow on it for some odd reason seems better to me than skiing down a real slope with artificial snow. Color me odd. Periwinkle, even.

TOP GUN PIZZA

My older brother went straight down a black diamond and got a top speed of 61 :D

That's just dangerous.

Not to mention when i clipped an uncleared portion of the run with my right leg, and my left leg kept going.

Switzerland reporting in! Nothing better than a nice fondue after skiing/snowboarding .

 

[starkestrel]

Or just skipping straight to the fondue.

I haven't went skiing in 2 years now... well this year the winter has been particularly evil with its -25C super freeze, then everything melts in above 0C, and back down to -20C again...

here in Quebec, I usually go to Bromont, which is an hour drive from Montreal. A nicer place would be Tremblant but I've actually never ski'ed there... (although I've visited a couple times during the non-snowy seasons)

The slope was super wide and had no one on it. It's just steep; crashing on it just means a lot of sliding and a possible yard sale.

That being said, my brother's pretty crazy at skiing. Sometimes he goes down backwards. He also lost a ski after a jump once and almost didn't notice.

As with flying, I prefer to go upside down. Glad you had a fun time!

I was referring to how I sit in the seat. It always confuses the hell out of my opponent when I wave my feet at them.
