Ahhhhh...I see says the blind man.

Oh and DJ, if it makes you feel any better, I haven't gotten mine either. I emailed him a while back and they were supposed to ship last Monday (the 6th)... If it were snowing I'd be a little impatient right now, but we have time. Still wouldn't hurt to check up on this.

And while we're on this topic...

OffAxis, from hell's heart I spit at thee!!!! :D

AHAHA!!!! Mighty Mountain!!! Noooow I think i got it! i dunno if you're 'maggot' rock is what I'm thinking though...

I'm thinking "oops extra"...down below sentinel bowl. turn skiers left into trees at the bottom. You gotta land and be ready to straightline in through some trees immediately. It's very close to where splat took that picture of me silhoutted against the sky last year. the high traverse leading back from the Palisades to Chair 6 is right below it. Do you know where I mean? Are you pickin up what I'm putting down?

What, Mr. Quiver? I thought you had Explosives! And even if you don't you have the rest of the Volk line up, right?:D

I know what you're talkin about mang, but maggot rock (as named by splat) is on the 2nd or 3rd ridge on the traverse out toward palasades. It's where Nater took some pics a while back.

From the looks of the pic, I think fairly low on the mountain, somewhere where you can almost see lift 7.

Oh come on guys it's so simple. I think you need a refresher course. It's all ball bearings nowadays.

I know what you're talkin' about. Naturally I had no idea that was maggot rock.

Mr. Quiver? That's Walter. I merely aspire to reach his greatness. Also, until those explosivs arrive my Volkl lineup will be incomplete...except for the Sanouks and a pair of P60s, and... and... Igggggggyyyyyyssss... mmmmm... Ooops. Sorry, I lost myself for a second there. :D

yes yes yes....I'm reeelly thinkin its in oops extra area now. Just 'cause that is indeed fairly low on the mountain, and as soon as you stick it, you then cruise through the trees, hit the little traverse, and then BOOM you're cruising right underneath Chair 7. We will hit it opening day :D

Oops extra, the ridge skiers left of the cave below sentinel? Yes? If so, we're thinkin the same spot, though this isn't maggot rock.

edit: damn, nater took the pics down :(

Arty, you're a nut, and I got the same bug you do. I swear I think about pulling the trigger on another pair of skis every other day. Fortunately, I hold off most of the time. Right now I have a beginner's quiver of some Candides, R:EX and Explosives. Now just to pick up some Gotamas, Sugar D., AX4s, Super Nobis... :D

We are veeery close.....no not, skier's left of the cave. Go right over the top of the cave along the ridge and it will dead end in this cliff....basically.

alrighty....time to hit the sack. laters.

CRAP! So close. Oh well, I'm not qualified to be a k-wood maggot guide yet.

I remember my first day in Kirkwood in 96. Didn't have a clue what I was skiing and hiked up to what I now know is Once Is Enough. I've got some film of me dropping in, straightlining, realising that it wasn't a good idea to keep laying down elevens and doing a graceful double eject. I'll have to convert it from VHS-C and post it here...

Just don't get too excited and reinjure your shoulder....

Personally, I'm living in a pink padded room both because I'm about to go out of my mind with the desire to ski, and because I don't want to hurt myself before the season.

Nater, you could just cover your body with Gu packets. As we know from last weekend, they absorb impacts really well. Admittedly it's a bit messy though. But hey, whenever you're hungry you could just bump into something and have a nice little snack.

:rolleyes: ...When's it gonna snow... :D

I've got some pics taken by Shoe on my digi cam that I haven't downloaded yet. I'll take care of it tonight and get some of them up.

Luckily the damage was localized to my right pocket. So, hopefully Shoe and Nater weren't taking pics of my shorts... :mad: ;)

Sort of. I have to take it into one of the local dealers, and didn't have time this week. Shite!
