I used to XC on less snow than that in SE Michigan. Not usually on pavement though. In Arizona I took a woman on a first date up a snow covered road in the Chiricahua Mtns. On the way down the soft snow had frozen hard and my friend was having a lot of trouble controlling speed. I had a full wax kit with me (this was in the days of wood skis and pine tarred bases( and applied some purple klister to her skis which worked great as a brake. When we got back to town she showed her appreciation for my ingenuity. I never did find out how she got the klister off of her skis. Maybe that's why we never had a second date.Quote:

He was right under the lift, obviously breathing hard and spent, and I felt sorry for him, so as I skied by I stopped quickly and reached out a hand and pulled him to his feet. He said, "Thanks man, you saved me five minutes." Considering he'd already been there ten minutes I thought that was good humor. I gave him a fist bump and went on my way.
I’ve done some stupid shit, but…

I feel like that could easily be my son.
my brother and I used to try to get the chair swinging as much as we could on every lift ride at Bolton Valley and Sugarbush where we usually skied.
I obviously feel terrible now, knowing what I know. but nobody told us not to and we thought it was fun as hell. Now they have all those riblet signs
"I actually don't mind paying for parking"
^^ this is actually a pro move. I used to hike a mile, skate, take a bus, for 45 minutes; but you know what, that $12 with a local's card and I can literally walk across the street, pop the tailgate, pee in the structure, and crack a beer. Priceless.Quote:

I think that's why someone put the cone on top. Try and keep up.Quote:

My daughter likes to say, just as the lift is about to be at the top, “I’m going right, who’s going left with me?” Or vice versa.Quote:
