Every day we ski I tell my wife that her bindings are broken and every day she looks down her nose at me but I'm a moron.

Are you a racist? What is "whitier"?Quote:

I tried to make a wittier response, I don't know how to be "whitier", I'll reread this thread for ideas:

fuck art - let's dance!
The answer is yes, though I hardly do it anymore.
No, because I suck equally at alpine.
Skiing strikes again. :nonono2:Quote:

Everyone is equal on the mountain no matter what you ride. Actully nevermind snowblades is the exception
Used to....then started alpining and now feel a little sorry for the floppy heel granola eatersQuote:

people that can't telemark should be seperated and disposed of. i was a fruit booter for around 9 yrs. its fun when your'e killing the fresh... not that i am the most balanced and sure-footed person out here....at least i ride alpine gear, and don't ask for more
Telemark - License to Suck....
I do not think that term means what you think it means.Quote:

I was actually told by a teleskier couple that a friend of mine wasn't much of a telemark skier because he didn't drop his knees enough. Funny thing was, the people making the comments are too chickenshit to ski off piste while my friend is perhaps one of the most accomplished local skiers around in terms of ability and style.
To me it doesn't really matter what you ride. If you suck, you suck.
