You keep saying this. Do you honestly believe that anyone who has been killed in an avalanche or bad fall skiing thought in the moments before their death that "At least I died for my passion" or "This is totally worth it"? This is a serious question.Quote:

Edit. First time I ever saw Outer Limits at Killington (my third day of skiing) there was some dude wearing a full head to toe fart bag in bright neon pink zipper lining Volkswagen sized ice bumps. Never forget the sight.
When I was like 11 years old and just starting to ski off groomers I got on a chair with Morey Gare who was the assistant coach for our local D1 college hockey team. I was all starstruck and excited so I followed this guy off the chair and it was the first time I had ever seen somebody rip moguls. I never forgot that either.Quote:

I think that's pretty straightforward right?Quote:

and i envied his always scoring first chair ass and skiing skills
i think he respects my addiction and desire to forsake skiing skills to hike out and ski where the same terrain mogul makers aint
Oh, I get the addiction part. I structure my life around skiing. I have a job working nights at the hospital and have skied 100+ days a year for many years now. I ski tour and ski lift served and have scored countless first chairs. My plan is to continue doing this, I'm 47.Quote:

That's a great pic. I had those same skis, loved them.

cool
bro
Is it lame to ski moguls?...
No. It lame not to ski if you live in a place that is winter more than 5 months (hell may be 4 months, or one month).
You're so core bro.Quote:

Then in Taos Tim from Tim's Cantina had recently died and everyone was pretty aware of that and scared of BC skiing in the wake of it. So I just wrote it off. Those moments when you take a hard fall in deep pow and you end up kind of submerged with your face in snow trying to breathe...those were horrifying to me and honestly the whole idea of being buried is just particularly horrifying because I have real claustrophobic tendencies...so whatever, I never made the move.
I have mixed feelings about it all. I'm a real pussy about avalanches.
I've had that moment where you go "it's been a good ride"...both motorcycle crashes and when I hit a tree at high speed at Solitude. That moment is a trip, I think most of us have this feeling like we've been waiting for the other shoe to drop for a long time and it's amazing we lasted this long.
I get this, I guess I was saying that I thought "I've really done it this time". It wasn't panic, just that I knew I had fucked up and wished I could get that moment back before I hopped off the cornice onto 45 degree boilerplate. I've had it other times skiing and mountain biking. I don't think it's worth dying for but I can't help myself sometimes.Quote:

Moguls are for showboating all the skills you have attained.
You ain't shit, anti-moglurs.
Whoever this guy is his form won't cut it in a mogul field.Quote:

How do you ski moguls?
It's called shovels...Quote:

if it wasn't for mogul skiers we'd still be throwing Scot Schmidt iron crosses while snowboarding took over the world.
