[I am living at a ski resort that drops into the atlantic ocean. literally]
So, I show up at the monday night beer league racing at the local hill. Been racing on tele throwing down 24+ sec times all season. I decide an experiment is necessary since I managed to dig out my skinny alpine boards from another province the other weekend. Race my two runs at 21.8 and 22.5 sec on alpine. alright but not great runs.
I then proceded to strap on the tele gear. I don't know if it was the full moon shinning down or what, but nailed down a 22.8 second time hollering like a madman across the finish line. Back that up with a 22.7 time, So I am nearly as fast on tele now as I am on alpine.
he he he he he. . . . . . .
[/end stoke-full evening of skiing - git some where you can get it!]

Interesting. What resort would this be? Are you doing full tele style turns?

Yup, Full tele turns. It's not really a ski resort, but more of a lift on a hill called 'Ski Ben Eion.' Find it on a map, if you can.
