out here in the flatlands,
everyone reffers the their quad or sideXside as a bike ???
which farking genius coined that term ???
maybe bike is easier to pronounce than quad,
coz there are alota people with speech impediments around here,
and first cousins marrying too ... no shit, its like everyone is related ...
maybe thats why they like me so much, fresh blood in the gene pool ...

Boarder's fault. If he has to balance himself on the grom at 4:16 (look at the shadow) to slow himself down he is not in control of his speed.Quote:

"They groomed it gently so when I landed, I punched through and double ejected"
I had the misfortune of riding the lift with a ski instructor today.
Douche Instructor: You could ski those things down the mountain sideways today!
Me: indeed
D.I.: why do you need such big skis? Its not like its snorkel deep.
Me: Its more fun in soft snow
D.I: I don't get it?
Me: well you should try it sometime and you will get it.
D.I: no way man these are plenty wide for me.
For the record there was about 8 inches of fresh, I was on protests, he was on skinny ass dynastar carvers around 170.

In lift line today, not really a gaper quote (those I reserve for me...)
Guy starts talking about Gandhi dying last week. Puzzled guy asks "what? Who are you talking about?" Answer, that guy from Africa.
Overheard a conversation some people had at dinner. One of the lines -
"I shop exclusively at Skymall."
Snowboarders before skiing the ribbon of death yesterday:
"Dude we gotta make sure we bring all the cameras this time"
skier guy walks up
"Do you guys splitboard"
"Yeah a little"
"Yeah I ski at the resort and snowboard in the backcountry"
I mean split boarding is cool and all but why on earth would you use skis in the resort where you don't have to do anything but go down and a snowboard in the BC where you have to turn your snowboard into skis to get anywhere? Maybe I thought this was funny just because of my wanting efficiency in all things.
That one was second only to: "Hi my name is Patrick and I'll be your ski instructor today."
too funny…...Quote:

Overheard today in Alabama from an individual giving advice to another person on where to ski...
"Yeh Snowshoe (WV) is as good as Utah and Colorado and has the same length of slope and snow texture quality."

me on my Lotus 120s, him on something skinny and straight.
frankly I don't care much what you ride on, as long as you find the fall-line and make turns around it.
not surprising considering the state and type of retards found down there.Quote:

El Chup: Would be difficult on these (gesturing at Dukes).
Mr. Tele: I don't see why... drop a knee, try it out!
El Chup: Uh... OK. Have a good day.
It seems every few years I'll bump into someone on Silvretta 404's trying to tele on them in tour mode. Looks really awkward.
Plus you get to ski in clouds/rain. In every month of the season!Quote:
