Hi TGR,

I lived in Colorado my entire life. I did two years of college in Colorado and then moved to New York to get some more college education. Now I cannot ski because New York is flat. I will be posting on TGR's forums instead.

Stop huffing paint cans, then post. It makes for much better English.

Cut him some slack. There are three ways of doing things, the right way, the wrong way and the Max Power way(which is the wrong way, but faster)

Yup - I too just joined, and yup, I know it's a lil' late. HOWEVER, I am here, and that is all that truly matters.
Yah yah?

So, exactly WTF am I here?
Simple - I heard some of you have an attitude problem. That's it!
I truly love peeps that are not afraid to be an ass, as I do not have much time for fawking self-righteous faux (or wannabe) libertarians! You know: those that SUPPOSEDLY fight for "freedom" yet constantly apply restraints: Oh you should not say things like I hate - I do not like to see the word because <blahs 'n' wahs /> !
(Y0 - check out my XML skills.)

Okay, now to the important thingy ... ME! Me me me me...
As you already can tell, I am a broke ass mudda pumper who can only afford to buy the front half of a set of bindings. Damn heel-locks from Bomber be too damn 'spensive! (LOL - whom am I trying to kid! I am a FREAKIN' gear-whore. My huge list of vices includes non-stop shopping for mountaineering gear - no, not toboggans.)

Anyhow - I look forward to telling and being told to STFU and twatever else!

Awesome welcoming page, BTW.

I lurked for a while last year, finally joined in March, started posting actively at the beginning of this month, and am just now introducing myself. I'm 19, grew up in Massachusetss and have been skiing since I was four. I'm a freshman at UVM and plan on skiing Sugarbush A LOT with a few trips to Jay probably. Oh and I plan on spending way too much time here when I'm not skiing.

Yeah, I thought it was a John Smith reference too, but turns out its not....

welcome to the insanity adam!

**Biscosity Breakdown** · 10-24-2006, 11:23 AM

Well, it should be. John Smith is the PIMP!

Who lifted the name from a old Simpsons episode.

**Biscosity Breakdown** · 10-24-2006, 05:50 PM

I guess he did. You should check him out though. Best hip-hop out there right now and from Halifax! Blunderbus is a work of genius. Homer rules too though.

**Yo Bizzo** · 10-25-2006, 03:41 PM

So here's my big toe making waves in the deep end of the pool... just testing the water for the first time before I Cannon Ball your asses!!

Seriously though... I am a good swimmer, however, I have learned from pow4brains that being a JONG means that I am fair game for dunking from time to time.

I won't waste any more of your time reading another boring introduction.

**Opentoclose** · 10-25-2006, 05:02 PM

Well, here we go – I’ve done some homework, used my search function and avoided three posts I would have otherwise sent. I can’t remember how I found the site, but very refreshed I am here after reading posts on other sites – 3rd to 4th grade level one liners – that made me scratch my head.

Thanks already out to El Chup, Vicious and others for the helpful dialogue on the '06 Ant that I ended up just ordering – was choosing between Ants/190 Gots . Also, thanks out to ptavv for the sweet deal I got on some shades.

Now that I’ve taken, I look forwarding to contributing on my journey through jongdom.

Also, looking forward to getting on the mountain w/ some PNW/PDX Mags.

Just posting to introduce myself. Im from the DC area and stuck here till may when I graduate. Later guys I am being distracted by Celebrity Jeopardy.

**jibbinfool** · 10-26-2006, 04:46 PM

Doing the introductory postage here... East Coast skier from New Hampshire, grew up skiing Sugarbush and went to school at Holderness, so I also skied a bunch of Loon and Waterville. Just getting pumped, hearing about all the snow on Mansfield and Jay already, so decided to come and share the stoke.

**Jay's Dip Powcher** · 10-26-2006, 06:40 PM

East Coast Skier here mainly Loon and Waterville because of the young kids I found out I have but do a few trips to Jay to excerise on the east coast ice....I mean pow! Great site hope to tune in when the weather hits cold but may be out playing!

Pee before you get on the plane!

Another long-time lurker saying hello.

I have been backcountry skiing in Colorado for about 30 years, which is why I am not so new, except to TGR. Mostly I ski the Indian Peaks and RMNP because I hate driving I-70. Over the years I have descended quite a few of the 14ers, mostly in spring corn conditions on the more mellow lines (not the more agressive mid-winter couloirs I see on TGR).

For all those years of skiing I don't have much wisdom gained, except for a better appreciation of Murphy's Law ("what can go wrong, will go wrong").

TGR TRs definitely help me decide when and where to ski, so I will try to give back a little info after hoovering it up for so long. I mostly ski tele, but I also alpine and snowboard if I am in the mood.

So maybe me and TelePariah can form the Geriatric Chapter at TGR.

Since my sister is pushing 60, people can get by without the naked pictures, I'm guessing.
