Meet the Maggots

[WK Monoskier]

Guess I should follow the rules:

36yrs old. Been skiing since the age of 3. Been Monoskiing for the past 15yrs. Been drinkin heavy for all of em. I listen to death and black metal. Every thing else is shit. I drive fast cars. I hate the Prius. Ted Nugent for President.

Thank you. Goodnight.

Scott

Forgot to mention that I'm a Stevens Pass whore. Often seen in the parking lot drinkin' Double Bastards.

Living in Cape Cod doesn't offer many skiing opportunities but hey, what can you do. Usually skiing the East, Stowe, Jay, Smuggs, Bush, Cannon. Make it out West at least once a year - Jackson in 2.5 weeks baby - SLC and Montana mainly. Been snowboarding for 20+ years, yes I still have my first Burton Air and Simms Switchblade. This place rocks, psyched to get at it.

Hey all,
Time to jump in.

much as i recoil from anything that tempts me to spend another second of my life in front of a computer, i feel it more or less mandatory to join this forum now that i have discovered it.

i'm not addicted... i could stop any time, y'know? i just, uh, like a little powder every now and then. it's purely recreational. really.

anyone wanna do some lines with me?

[WyoWill]

Just signed up. Tons of great information here.

Been a skier since 3, now onto tele. Never been out west(to ski), maybe next year. Getting away from the lifts for the first time this year, had anticipated little return/reward and I was wrong. Already met a couple mags early this season, and looking forward to popping many bags of popcorn?

Been lurking since the genesis of the maggots but never registered because (i) I knew if I went down that rabbit hole I'd never be the same, (ii) over the past 15 years my skiing status has steadily regressed from core to near gaper as my family/work status has steadily risen from lazy dirt bag to Norman Rockwell, and (iii) I'm not as funny, stupid, brilliant or just plain fucking crazy as the rest of you maggots, which means my registering would just be diluting the maggot gene pool.

The chronicles of Jesse James, however, have motivated me to finally grow a set and stop anonymously leaching off this forum without contributing so much as a troll post. So from now on, I'm going to conspicuously and brazenly leach off this forum without contributing so much as a troll post. Unbelievable job on Jesse guys. Even if he never gets caught - hopefully he'll think twice before his next scam.

yeh i been lurking for a while and never wanted to join because i didnt want to be another guy sucking the TEETon gravity dick. also, i totally associate this board with west coast and im trying to keep the east coast/west coast rivalry up.
anyway, ill mostly stay in the EC forums. maybe read some gear reviews. ill post some shit when i got shit to post. tr, gear, pron. yeh yeh.
been skiing about 3 years. with a hunger. several trips out west. tripped to the andes. tripped to the alps. canadia constantly. but i keep coming back to the northeast. our trees are the shit. sap suckers know whats up.

do as you will till you violate the line of another.

[czechdogg]

proud to be a newbie magg...after lurking for a couple of weeks i'm all in. Sort of addicted to adrenaline...my kids forced me back to the powder 2 years ago after a 15 year hiatus from snow sports....can't get enough now.

[puhisurfer]

Hey y'all. Been living in the middle of the Pacific for the last 5 years, now back on the mainland ready to ski.

Um, I noticed in the EULA that I just accepted that I can't post with regards to "sexual orientation". Does this mean I can't say I like girls?

[mach.850]

'Nother long time lurker guy. Grew up AK, living CO. Lucky enough to ski both still.

Thanks for having me, happy to be here.

Out.

[Houndsong]

I'm the guy looking for a hook-up at Powder Mtn., Snowbasin, and/or Alta next week. My home hill is Monarch Mountain and if anybody is passing through the area let me know and I'll give you the nickel tour. I usually venture forth to the Crested Butte, Silverton and/or Taos/Wolf Creek during the season and make a trip or two to Winter Park where my cousin has installed himself the past 10 years or so. My highlight reel consists entirely of skiing Glen Cove on Pikes Peak last spring. I got back into skiing a few years ago (oddly enough at Happo One in Japan) after a 20-year hiatus (marrying a flatlander and living in the southeast will do that to you). In that time I've poached some good stuff off these forums so I figured I ought to reciprocate. Thanks.

[santaclaus]

greetings, i ski in the east, mostly killington b/c its close. wonder whats going on most of the time

[Alex.C]

Long time occasional lurker from Australia, now hanging out in the real mountains of the Canadian Rockies (Canmore).

[bambam]

hi--
30-something yo, grew up near Park City.... been lurking a while and appreciate all the great info here.

[Steeze nuts]

Alright, I've taken the plunge. I've spent a ton (probably way to much) of time on other forums so I'm hopefully not a total JONG. This place is awesome, ive been lurking for 2 + years, but never joined due to a fear that ill be totally consumed, but ive come to grips with that and i can't wait to get involved in this great community.

Born and raised at the mouth of LCC, moved downtown SLC for a year, but couldn't resist the call of snowbird, so im back living at the mouth off LCC, and skiing as often as i can. 21 years old, local and loving it.

[highrustler]

CO resident for 20 years, ski a fair amount in Utah. Spent the past 30 years with all 3 vises. Started with alpine in grade school. Got my first snowboard (Burton Performer w/ skegs) in jr. high. Started tele back '93 and have pretty much focused on that since. Prolly tele 90% of the time but wanting to get back into alpine again. Oh, and TGR is the best of any forum I've seen. This place is just an amazing resource for (most) of my addictions.

[fatbunny]

Long time Lurker. 39, Utah resident. I've been skiing for 3 years. Met some great Mags this weekend and I guess I'm ready to jump in.

[coltrain]

this place is like my septic tank......full of terds.

[Goatski]

23 y.o. skier here, born & raised in Vail. Just graduated CU in May and am very happy with my choice to come back and ski full-time, work part-time (Ski School at the Beav). I'm glad I didn't know about this forum in school or else my grades may have suffered.

My words of wisdom: stop traversing so much and ski your line from the top - or your lazy ass may get sprayed as I blow by you!(exception: riding the wave on Ghengis on a sh!tty day) Eat at Fiesta Jaliscos & Pazzos when you are in the valley, Montauk, Lancelot, & Terra Bistro if you have the scrill$$$. Drink at the George. Wear your ski pass when you're out skinning and use it to scrape off the little bit of snow before folding your skins up. Put your sandwich in a tin. Cook with shallots more often. And ski like you mean it.

I hope to meet some other Vail/Beav mags soon!

[senior researcher]

Man I want those free skis!!!!!!

[gdwindowpane]

Smile, it makes people wonder what you're up to...

[AndrewSwitch]

Just moved to WA and don't know a lot of skiers... Over on the east coast, they think my 177s are big, but I know better. Too bad they don't match my outfit... Then I'd be really cool.

I'm somewhat underemployed at present and occasionally take day trips I really can't afford if the weather gods provide something I really have to ski.

[PartyVan]

Lurked on here for a while but finally registered. 24 years old, been skiing since I was 3 on East coast man-made snow and ice in Western NY. I've skied all over NY and Vermont, but have only taken one trip out west to Colorado last year and skied with my friend at Winter Park. I'm currently in the process of applying to graduate schools for mechanical engineering and it looks like between the opportunities for skiing, climbing, hockey and school I might end up in Salt Lake City next year.

[Ruke]

24. I just started skiing last year. I live in Geneva and ski Le Grand Bornand. I'm a complete amateur but I'm working on it. I'd like to try making skis.
