Meet the Maggots

Been lurking for around 6 months (or more), comin' out, but not in any kind of homophobe way heh ;)
It was skier666's South Island TR that elicited my first response, his SLR style is astounding!

like any relationship, this forum is built on trust and respect. If you screw something up, admit it and fix it asap.. Which should save us from any jong/gaper label and all should be cool.

Thanks to all who have been here before me, for creating a pretty cool forum
Keep it real peeps :D

Hey ya'll. I am a bit slow on the uptake and get a bit seasonal so I come and go. Look forward to reading, learning and sharing.
Over the past few years I have transitioned from occasional lift runs to nordic BC and I love it!
I am jonesin' for some turns man. Really. I can smell it!
Peace and Love.

been around for a few years now finally got around to joining. Always out slaying either the KHoe (Kicking Horse), endless bc around Golden, Rogers Pass, Revy. Cheers

what's up everyone. Just found the site. Ironically, by hitting the "I'm feeling lucky" button on Google. I was a memeber on Snowboard.com for a while but they are no longer. Love to ride. After moving to Co, I had to move away from the snow for a little while. Can't wait to get back.

"I say this guy gets relieved of JONG status and be bestowed Maggot status immediately. He has proved his IS WORTHY despite his opening phoopah.
It's only fair... that's a great comeback and greatness should be recognized .... thats the maggot code... isn't it?"

Tsup? I love powder in between trees. Love this website. You guys are super helpful, and when not helpful, funny. I hope to have some delicious IPA's with some of you, someday, in real life.

is this a good place to learn to ski the powder

Been kicking around here for a few months and figured it's time to man up and post. I grew up skiing at Burke Mtn. in Northern VT. Went to Vail for a few years after college and have since returned to the east coast and all of it's bullet proof, groomer-nuking glory. I'll be spending most of my ski days at Jay this winter and I'm looking forward to slaying some tree lines and maybe meeting up with some folks for a few laps and a frosty beverage.

Hi,

Been lurking on here since I saw recession last year.

Read some of the classic threads like gaper’s, that Jessie Jones thing and that $333.

I am from Sydney Aust, just finished an average season that went from no cover to 3ft of powder.

Heading O/S this season possible a couple of weeks at St Anton and a few weeks in the states, tossing up between Jackson’s hole, steamboat not 100% sure yet.

My current ride is K2 PE but looking for something fatter for this year like ON3P wrenegade’s.

JONG! The movie was named "Re: Session".

Oh and if you want recommendations on skis, Tech Talk JONG!

Welcome to TGR. :wink:

I suspect it's fairly customary to post up here when you sign up, so I'll oblige and do so, although I'm not certain how often I'll visit or how much I'll post. The screen name will be familiar to a few folks here already, and I am certain they're face palming and thinking "How the EFF did THAT guy get here?"

So I make it my promise to you, the "maggots" they call your kind? It is my promise that I'll try and keep my contributions A.) insightful B.) poignant C.) humorous.






Yeah right.

hello...

Allow myself to introduce myself.

I've been doing some searching and it seems like this is the place to be if you're an aggressive skier.



So I figured I'd say hi.

Been lurking for a year or so, figured it’s finally time to start posting. I grew up skiing in northern New York (mainly Whiteface and Jay Peak), moved to Steamboat, Co where I stayed for few years, and now reside in Ogden, Ut. Now that’s over let the jonging begin!

Been lurking around for a few weeks so I figure I'd sign up. As you can see I'm from Alabama and have lived here all my life but I've been skiing since I was about 8. We usually take a week to 10 days every year and I can't get enough of it. I realize most of you guys get more days in during a season than I've had my entire life but I still have a good time out there.


We are starting to plan the '11 trip and I got to looking around for gear and whatnot so I happened upon this place.

new guy here thanks for the welcome and happy to be able to get to know you all.

I signed up yesterday, from the pnw, it's snowing. I've been reading the forums for a while and I figure that it is time to contribute. Just wish there was an acronym search.

"Thank you for registering, MotherFucker."

Why thank you!

How this name wasn't taken I'll never understand. Shit, it would've made a great alias.

Been lurking for about 2 years. Jesus what a fucking noob. Just like the dude before me I figured it was time to contribute some of my own lameness to the fold so here I am.

I've been posting intermittently since earlier this year, and figured I'd just actually say, "Hi."

So... Hi!

the north face discount from the sale of the three, only $ 30 .Please click on our website, www.outdoorsportsshops.com

lurking for a bit, time to man up and post. oh, and ^spam

Hi, new here, lurked for a while. Ok, bye.

Found you 2 weeks ago.
Been sliding sideways for 20yrs.

I'm an equal opportunity hater here for the ridicule

I've been sucking so much clitoris lately I can't post with my old account any longer. So, this is the new me, me.

Found this place from EpicSki on the thread about the "Snowbird: not for beginners" that pointed to a hilarious thread here. This place seemed more my speed.....practical experience, direct answers favored over romper room encouragement.

been lurking for 2 years, thought i'd finally make a post. i'll be asking a bunch of dumb ass questions like your typical east coaster. welcome to me

Long time lurker first time poster... go ahead, have at it.

good luck with the direct answers

Been lurking for a while just trying to get more knowledge, but felt I should put up the obligatory first post on the "Welcome Wagon" thread.

Huh?
1526738

I guess i messed up by not posting here first...anyways, i got a great deal on skis thru this site already and am super pumped for the season:biggrin:

This place seems to an awesome resource for many different purposes - gearswap, tech talk, and just lots of knowledgable mags in general.

Thanks a bunch to everyone who makes this place work!

Also, didn't know if it was kosher to ask/ make a thread to borrow skis for one day use (in exchange for a 6 pack of choice or something like that)

Just bought some bridge's off this site, but not going to be to me for another week or 10 days, and was going to hit up Moonlight's ski for free day this fri 17th if you donate a frozen turkey to the food bank...don't have any skis now/ and my friend's that i can borrow are also gonna be in use/ and would like to avoid paying $30 to rent some shitty skis.

Obviously wouldnt be asking to borrow anyone's prime/new/favorite skis, just something decent that would get me around the mtn.


Just trying to see if this is a kosher thing to make a thread out of... or if not recommended.


Thanks:smile:

Guess I shouldv posted here first.. Ive been around TGR for a while but never really posted cause figured Id get shut down (Vail isnt a haven for challenging terrain). But anyways, anyone on here live in eagle county and want to hit up the vail backcountry this winter send me a message.. Know the terrain well, expert skier, avy gear

Another lurker reporting. What is there to do in southern Finland except lurk, anyway, since the closest decent hill is 1000 km away!

so do the tgr forums really hate Kim Jong-Il that much? I mean what is the origin of this ridiculous name?

Hi. Hadn't lurked much and didn't realize I was supposed to post here first.

Hi, i'm new to SF. This is me posting to a forum only noobs check. Hello all.

I guess my first post should be here, since everyone else is doing it...
:cool:

Noob reporting for complimentary JONG sticker and shit sandwich on wonder white..
