I don't think this subject has ever been covered before on this board. No one has ever talked about any of those skis either.

JONG!

(Actually I don't think salomon sucks)

Funny you mention that, because I was already calculating in my head that at "10% Cliffs" that would mean that on any given run, you are skiing cliffs 10% of the time.

Say an average run takes 5 minutes to ski. 10% of 5 minutes is 30 seconds- this means 30 seconds of airtime, every run. SERIOUS hangtime.

There I go, with the curse of the engineer again. My bad.

**bigmtnpow** · 03-02-2005, 04:17 PM

not cliffs all the time but im probably in the air that much..

Would you expect anything less with a name like Big Mountain Pow?

These threads always remind me of the scene in Shawshank Redemption when the new guys come into the prison. Everybody taunts them until one breaks down and is beaten up by the guards.
