skiing, that is.
I've been reading the board and watching ski porn for the majority of my thanksgiving break... I'm scared shitless to go mtn biking during deer season...especially with what just happened in WI.
What are you doing to stay sane?
-and-
What's your favorite ski porn?
Immersion :biggrin: and others have been getting me through a lot these days.
watched immersion 3 times today...I went to the ski shop this afternoon and picked up soul purpose...workin on no. 2 of that one.Quote:

and
Focused
(quietly)happy there's been little fresh elsewhere lately, Don't get me wrong, the stoke keeps me high as a deprived skier can be...
knowing there's so much season left everywhere!
watching the rain fall
waiting for the temps to drop
thinking that if had been, oh, about 20 degrees cooler today we woulda had over 2 1/2 feet up there just today!!!!
looking at the water falls coming down the sides of the mountains and imagining that they're actually reall small ribbons of snow
Is this the same focus from back in the day?
^^^
yup, i've been hanging around here sporadically since the first clustertruck over at pmag where everything got trashed and some a-hole stole my name :fuckyou: , and exclusively after the exodus under a couple different monikers...
...but none of them really felt right and i haven't been participating much.
sex,drugs and alcohol.
Oh, man.Quote:

I am in a ski resort, the lifts are running I have a season pass....but I am sitting in front of the tv with 'There's something about McConkey, Lifted and Imersion" all because I tried to teach a buddie to snowboard :(...maybee my back will stop hurting and I can stand and walk around, then I'll go skiing again....
Shit, I just passed a hunter Tuesday on my road bike. And it wasn't very rural at all. sheesh.Quote:

Of course it snows like a bitch as soon as I get home for thanksgiving. 8 inches isnt good for much when the biggest hill within 45 miles is a sand dune.
It is nice to see white outside though instead of brown.
Because that's probably what he's really doing. Either that or he's reading the "Johnny Irrelevant" strip from VizQuote:

yep, I am a lurker. Ski movie dork too. Yesterday I watched: Sinners, Ski Your Ass Off, Schooled, Sleeping Giants, Immersion, UP3, and Core. I have a problem and it is a severe lack of snow,and our one trail of sortacorn is turning into a sniggle.
I've been able to keep myself occupied with Kite Boarding thru the first week of November which helps with the pre season blues. Since then I've watched way to much ski porn, booked a Cat Skiing trip for January, spent to much time lurking here reading all the TR's (thanks guys they really do help), and read all my old Powder Mags from the late 80's and early 90's.
My snow jones is so bad that I threw in the Aspen Extreme DVD the other night.
Noted.Quote:

Bought new super-stiff Burton step-in boots and bindings. Spent half a day mounting them. It should have taken about half an hour, but I was milking it.
I put on my ski boots and skis and walk around the basement. I call it PT. The kids say I'm just a dork.
Beyond that, I just spend a lot of time whining.
I go to PT a lot and desperately wish that it was late March already.

Wakeboarding and slalom (getting a wee chilly for that now). And LOTS of ski porn. And training and dreaming. The dreams are the coooolest...
And checking lots and lots of snow reports. If you jones really bad, Park City has these cool mountain cams that you can zoom in and stuff. So when it snows I usually go check those out for several minutes at a time. :smile:
