    ACE needed, we need some armchair extreme!

    Ok, I am worried the man wont even be skiing this year.

    He has been unreachable since his FANTASTIC hospitaity in October. I know he is crazy busy, but I know he still salivates over the tele turn.

    somebody rile that lurker, we need him now more than ever.

    nothin more fun than an excited AC!

    He's working in 3 cities at once.

    We'll get him up north for some days this year.
    why make ten turns when you only need to make NONE!

    Funny that this pops up today. I was walking by McCormack & Schmick's last night and thought "ACE hasn't posted in a while."

    Restaurant looked crowded with the holiday crowd.
    Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

    Trust me, I've tried to get the guy just to spend an evening out a few times in the past months, and he can't even do that. Into work at 6, back home around midnight, six or seven days a week. Hopefully he'll figure out a way to grab a little time before much longer. He did say he was expecting to be able to ski a bit in 05.

    M&S. I used to hang there alot back in the Pendleton days. Nice place. Serious meat market


    Plakespear said he is working killer hours at mulitple eateries. He'll get out there. ACE loves the snow as much or if not more than anybody else.

    Those kind of hours are insane. I was blown away by his work schedule before things got crazy. The man is a machine. Hopefully he'll get to come up for air soon. He'd be a great kid to receive the summit scholarship or whatever they're calling it. If he could get away that is.

    Holy shit...that sure beats the PB&J I had for dinner.

    ACE rules...so glad I got the chance to finally ski with him @ Snowmass last year as he was driving across the country to NYC. Hope he can still make his way back here from time to time.

    I was taught that the harder you work, the luckier you get.

    Andy must have luck falling out of his ass.

    He'll show up.

    Any man who serves up FRESH red king crab at his establishment is the bomb...

    ACE is one of the few maggots I've had the pleasure of hooking up with some ski tix but have never met. One day ACE, one day we'll meet - on a chair lift I hope.

    Good people that ACE, good people.

    You guys make me feel all warm and funny

    It's true I am working like mad. I don't get much (any) time off right now. I do a quick check in here every few days, but I am ascairt that if I post, I will be needing to check in all the time. As Elevens sed, I am between Hackensack and Bridgewater in NJ, Manhattan and Providence. In Jan, I add two Boston locations to that load. It's tough, but I should be able to ski after the holidays are over.

    I will do everything possible to make at least one trip west this year. I will be in Portland in late Jan on biz and I might just drag a pair of boards along if I can shoehorn in a coupla days at the end of it. Appreciate all the kind words and look forward to making turns with as many of you as I can.

    PM sent to Dingle, Barnballs and I wrote a lengthy PM to Lumpy, but now I don't see it in my sent box. I will send one out to Lumpy again.

    That was a fun day. Back when I was living in La La Land, he should have been the first maggot that I should have skied with, but our schedules could never match up. It was strange to finally meet him in Colorado.

    Still, I was very glad to finally meet him. He seems like a good hearted guy.

    I really hope we get to make turns again, ACE!
