Finally trying to get ride of my jong status
Finally trying to get ride of my jong status
what the heck is jong? or is that a jong thing to ask
Hidee ho, finally found a place to talk skis! Can't wait to get started.
Hi all. Longtime lurker, recently started posting so I thought I'd introduce myself. Entering my second decade on skis, cut my teeth on the EC (Berkshire East, what!) crashing gates, found some powder at some point and never looked back. Skiing SW Montana these days after a stint in Colorado, and would love to meet up with some mags this season! (That is, when we're not all busy on here bitching about our snowpack)
Well this is an interesting thread. Let me make it more interesting by introducing myself. I'm here searching for pow like everyone else. BOOM.
Very well reprised.
aosom
I am old, slow, unskilled, and I live almost as far away from real mountains as possible. I am a gear junkie. I am also searching for pow.
I love this site, but it sure makes me procrastinatenot complaining!
Hey, I'm new here. I've been skiing about 11 years, and am making my first trip to North America this year (living in the UK, I usually ski in the Scotland/France/Switzerland). I'll be skiing Kicking Horse and surrounding area for a couple of weeks starting after the new year. Hoping I get to ski some deep, fluffy powder on some sort of modified water ski (aren't I funny?) and that I don't run out of money for lift tickets half way through.
Hola. Been snowboarding for about 3 years, offroading for 3 as well. I'm a Colorado native currently surviving in Fairbanks, AK. I board Alyeska when I can get down that way, and moose mountain up here as well as the birch hill. Talk at ya!
Lurked for a while, hooked up by some righteous mags kind enough to trust a jong on some sweet gear deals, and thought it was time to say hello to the collective.
Designed a few missile engines and quit, rowed a few boats in the Ditch in summer and threw bombs in the winter for a few years and quit, flew planes for a few years and quit.
Now I row old boats with old friends and drink old whiskey when I feel like it. And if it snows again this season, I'll make a few turns with old friends and drink more old whiskey.
Drop a line if you're passing thru Reno.
TGR..mos def a longtime lurker but finally decided to join up. I am currently in Japan but soon hopefully will be back to good ol Montana. I have been skiing since I could walk and i would have to say its close to one of the loves of my life. I have spent some time in Fairbanks myself so i know what you mean by surviving. thanks for helping work pass by faster!
Yet another newbie. I'm from Europe, but I'll be in the rockies during whole February. Cheers
Time to do this, I guess.
Skiing since I was very young, not very young any more, but not old, either. Have been lucky enough to ski a lot of places, which doesn't necssarily mean I got real good or anything. In Idaho now, loving it.
When I'm not working, I'm generally taking the kids skiing, mountain biking, flyfishing, hunting, or just camping and hiking.
Hi everyone. New here. Been skiing on and off for 5 years, heading to BC in February for my first O/S ski trip! Very excited.
Sup everyone! Finally decided to stop lurking and join the conversation...
been shreddin' the Wasatch since 99' and loving every second of it
looking forward to being berated, laughed at, chided, mocked, and scolded by all of y'all
cheers
Here we go...
Long time TGR lurker....got some good info from lots of folks, hope to someday return that favor.
Long time skier, coming back after a hiatus of about 10 years. I mostly ski North Tahoe. Decided to do some research on skis (still somewhat confused "rocker vs camber vs early rise", "on/off piste, front/back side", and "where did all these super fat skis come from?") and came across TGR. Going to lurk for a while and hopefully post some relevant stuff someday.
I like it already, Me, skier, 15 years back country colorado,favorite hitch and ski areas, loveland pass (hitting the rock at gilbralter on a pow day, or nuking the ironing board and all those tasty steep trees everywhere) , berthoud pass (choke to 7 mile, or deep 100s to the old ski hut), Fav hike and ski, bethel, beirstadt, and my fav Hitch and hike ski, Mt Evans on memorial day weekend (the snaive).
I named some areas that in the BC that only the locals could know about, just don't want anyone thinking I'm a troll.
Moved out to Cali 9 years ago and dying a slow death without my day trips to the BC in CO.
