heh, I got a dose of that followin Alka around Squaw last last Spring....just when I thought I was really movin, I see this black dot hundreds of yards below me moving at the speed of light. Still can't believe you ski PR's like that, 'cause they're all like soft and stuff and aren't suppossed to go that fast ;)Quote:

I'm all for the "take-a-park-rat-skiing" thing, theres too many kids out there who can't ski who think they're so sick because they can do the s rail. I'm definitely ditching the park rat crew this year, its getting way old watching people wait in the park on powder days until the rails are dug out. I'm not saying I'm the shit at big mountain, there's tons of people better than me, but I'm pretty sure I can keep up with a lot of good skiers. I've been always looking for a few good skiers to ski with and lately, good big mountain skiers my age (15) are pretty hard to come by. I'd be stoked to ski with you and some other real skiers sometime, I think I might go this weekend, if I do, I'll PM you.
And I was hundreds of yards back from you. At one point I thought Ty had gone straight and I see this blue dot off to the farrrrrrrr left, think "holy shit," hit the e brake on my Gotamas, and barely hang on for a last second mach speed exit stage left. That was the first run, and a big wake up call.Quote:

I am glad that squaw breeds the most bad ass self centered egotistical skiers around.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
We care about first chair...

Squaw Valley Local: "How many Squaw Valley Locals does it take to screw in a light bulb?"
Person: "How many?"
SVL: "2"
Person: "Why 2?"
SVL: "Cause were fucking better than you!!! Now shut the fuck up!!!"
Heard that one friday night. Seemed kind of appropriate.
Tahoe hasn't got any big mountains. :pQuote:

A proper Big Mountain. [/eurosnob]
Roo,
I will agree with you on the size of the mtns and ski areas. One thing we gots is lots of the white stuff!
That having been said, I'm still going back across the pond for 2.5 weeks of Euro fun in Dec/Jan.
The snow in California is out of control. I feel happy for you guys. Keep posting the pics.
[eurosnob]
Chamonix, France. They're better than you guys............. :fmicon: (i still don't know the appropriate use of tis but who cares. :D)
But i guess you still could rip the shit out of areas like Kitzbühel. The hills there should be of american dimensions hrr hrr :FIREdevil [eurosnob]
but maybe im just jealous....enjoy the extraordinary snow height at this time. maybe euroland gets it's share next week. The weatherpattern seems to shape up nicely.(considering that the freeze level will be at 3000m+ the next few days. :rolleyes2 )
Although there is a ton of attitude and egos around squaw, there is also a great deal of respect.
I love California....:D
.....but we're definitely own3d by Euro alpinist/sickness/gnarness
ummmm, yeah, definitely don't have any rebuttal to that statement. Tahoe gets ownerized by Cham.Quote:
