Ive been hanging in the background of this site for a while and wanted to get in on the action...
I am a 2007 engineering graduate and am quickly finding that it is not the life for me. The job has allowed me to escape the east coast at least, but now I am craving more than weekend trips to the Cascades. Figure Ill put in a year where I am, then attempt to base my life around skiing/outdoors.
I was on newschoolers for a while. They don't use capitalization and punctuation enough. Plus, that site is difficult on my eyes.
I'm glad to be over here now after being a lurker for around 2 years.
I posted mad stoke on newschoolers, and plan to up the stoke 10 fold this winter. Look out.
Been lurking since this morning when I discovered TGR properly-only ever witnessed it by cross post else where. Join because it's the holidays and not only is Scotland wet and cold in winter, it is wet and cold in summer as well. Looking forward to winter and posting whatever stoke I get this year.
jessejones thread is gold.
there no good.
their is a God.
they're dog smells.
got it.
Greetings, I've been visiting this forum for about a year now and with a new season just around the corner the time has come to join. I grew up in Colorado but didn't start skiing until I was 10. I now live in western mass and am looking forward to moving to the big mountains after college. I'm a student at Umass Amherst and will hate only being able to ski on the weekends during school. I've got a pass to Magic (you might have seen me there last year) and make frequent trips up to Jay. This winter I plan on exploring and experiencing more of the east coast backcountry and would love to meet fellow maggots who have the same desire.
I wouldn't classify myself as a great skier, at 18 I still have much to learn. I think I can learn a lot from the maggots and look forward to skiing with some of you this winter.
I take a camera with me every time I ski and look forward to putting up some trip reports for everyone to enjoy.
I've been lurking, pilfering solid gear reviews & DIY tidbits in TT for over a year now. Thought i may as well sign up and see if this JONG can give a lil back.
Not that anyone really gives a flying fuck but, I'm a Tacoma native. Got edjumacated in beer pong for 4 years in Hanover, NH then spent the next 5yrs not skiing nearly enough while living in NYC. Moved back to the PNW last summer just in time get my Alpy pass and some new boards and treat out to the sweetest season i can reanmember.
Anyhow, here's to a phenom 08/09 season and the first time i get called a fucktard.
Cheers
Hello everybody.
I've heard (well, read) that this is the place to be for skiing and whatnot. Which is why I decided to sign up. So... that's that.
Hello Chaps! I run Plooka.com.
On this site because someone mentioned it on my Forum and thought I would have a look around. Interesting stuff! So no lurking experience, may prove catastrophic.
Hey folks. Been a TGR fan for many years, I remember watching clips of the week in high school French class back in 2003. Don't know why it took so long to join the forums, but here I am. Look out below!
The World is Changing.
Decided to Join the Minionship.
I have deceided to take an active step in providing some of the "stoke" that helped me become in tune to the art of shredding POW
Naivley trying to leave the place a little bit better than when I started.
We will See....
Whats up mags. I have lurked for a while and think I am ready to consider myself a jong. I go to the University of nebraska Lincoln. Engineering.
Co Captain of a 200 person club at the University appropriately named Ski and Snowboard club.

Moving out west when graduation happens. If anyone is driving through nebraska A) Sorry B) hit me up I got a place for ya.
Lastly I am a JONG!!!!
Just joined from Revelstoke. 3000 acres of terrain inbounds this year. New high speed quad in the North bowl. 5620 ft. Vert. Not bad for a sophomore.
Just joined the other day. I'm nick pappagiorgio's roommate Kat.
HI!
Hey all!
Just joined from Spain. I'm a crazy for skiing and I want to talk about it to you.
Good to know for a noob.
Post #1. I reside in Ontario, and live to ski. Not a good combo.
Live in Brooklyn. Ski in Dolomites and hopefully a few days at Wolf Creek or Taos. You have already taught me so much about skis. I hope I can contribute something. Note: my sister and girlfriend are devout muslims who've never been naked.
I live in Philly, I'm from this area, and I desperately want to gtfo of here. I got one advanced degree already and I'm working on the second. My low-income weekend fun has led me to become an expert in ice skating downhill on skiis--aka skiing in the Poconos. I'm taking a year off from school so I can ski this winter, and I'm gonna do the ski bum thing out west. Then I'm gonna take off and do something else when the ski season ends.
Long time lurker...first time poster. For a few years now I've been using this place as a diversion from my desk in the winter and a reminder of the snow in the summer. Finally thought I should sack up and get a name, post something here and there and maybe get in on some good group buys. I've seen alot of cool, entertaining, hilarious, amazing, and otherwise noteworthy shit on here and hope to contribute to the pool in some way.
So there it is, my first post! Feels like looking back up the hill from the bottom, just after you finally tag a line you've been eyeing for a long time. And as you stare back up at what you just did, you think, "Yeah, that was pretty cool....shoulda done that shit a while ago!"
sooooo stoked about this place. it's getting addicting
Name's McMeaterson. Here to feed skiing addiction off season. Work behind a desk and ski to avoid creeping case of office ass. Portland, Oregon.
After a year or so of suckling on the ski info teet that is TGR, it's time that I reciprocate and try to contribute something of value here. God knows what that'll be as I'm kind of a simpleton but we'll see...
Anyway, I'm full of shit, sarcasm, and a love for skiing so I feel like I might fit in here. I guess we'll see about that too...
never really ventured deep enough into tgr's website to find this forum. seems very nice!
Been lurking so long I could not even remember if I had registered and posted before. I figured it was about time I said Hello to all.
I'm exclusively an ice coaster so my TR's won't impress most of you with their awesomeness. I am out there 50+ days a year in the worst conditions the east can deliver so maybe I'll at least be able to make you laugh one day with a lame TR.
I have a serious gear addiction. I don't even know how many pairs of skis I have. I spend every last dime I have to spend time on snow. I alpine ski, snowboard and telemark. I've made turns at every ski area in VT at least 20+ times except Stratton, Cochran's and Quechee in the 25 years since my husband taught me to ski. I am a Maggette but there will be no naked pictures fothcomming. Sorry.
Now go ahead.....JONG away
I suppose it's time I hide my first post in here... I'm a skiing noob but we all start someplace I guess, I mostly like to read things around here and learn things...but mostly I just get confused...oh well. Hi.
ahhh, finally joined up. can't wait to share 08-09 season stoke from the Bozeman neighborhood! I'll see you all around teh internets and up in the hills, too.
cheers!
Sup. I'm a lurker, but I guess I need a name if I come across any of you fools in person.
grew up down the road from a small east coast area with 2 j-bars and 1 t-bar... it took about 30 seconds to make it down and it was owned by a Norwegian guy named Fifi... there were speakers playing the radio station onto the slopes... was the best
Learned to ski at Sno-Crappy as a kid, home mountain is Crystal
Been lurking too long. I've skied with maggots, mountain biked with maggots, and drank beer with maggots - seems I ought to be a maggot. One maggot uses a picture I took.
Third year with a k'wood pass now. I don't ski cliffs.
Well so much for jumping right in, I never was very good at reading the instructions thow lol. So whats up, Im from Borque NM grew up skateboarding, I love to ride snowboards, have been for about 8 yrs, home mountain is sandia but it sucks so I drive north to Wolf Creek on the weekend. I saw this future video last weekend and Teton Gravity was on it so I came to check it out, Pretty cool place.
YOu have one of the more unique locations in TGR. Fun to see Henry trash talking. :yourock:Quote:

Thanks for taking the time to check out the link, the books changed my life, or at leasts my perspective, for better or worse. If they want to ban you from the library you know you did something right.Quote:

If you ever see a massive reunion of old farts at the Gold Pan (aka Bed Pan) you'd find us crawling around. I went to college in Gunnison in the 70s - "ski Wasted State and pick up a degree in your spare time." Now I live in NE Washington State although I get back to Colorado yearly. I'm heading down the AT path and hoping to pick up a few tips here. Hopefully the conga line of shit slinging baboons will have mercy on this ol' geezer.
Ma tawit me to lurk both ways...ups and downs, didn't worx too well in Nebraska, but nows I lurks purty gud on Baker.
first post.
I've never skied outside of MN. I go to a ~250' hill of man made snow 4-5 times per week. I drive a saab 900. I'm a poor high school student who is very soon to be a poor college student. I have never spent more than $50 on a pair of skis. I have an old pair of delaminating Volkl p50's, a pair of old K2 enemies, and a pair of rattle can flat black Head "thebigeasy" rock skis. I ski in $25 dalbello boots that people on epicski told me will have bolts fall out the canting system and almost kill me.

Hello,
The is my first post after lurking for a few months. I ski at Apex and try to get to the kootenays and revy/golden at least once a season. I grew up skiing back east. I've never skied in the US but plan to in the last 2 weeks of March this season. It snowed 31cm in the past 48h at Apex. :p
Bye,
Dave
