I grew up in aspen, skiing mostly Aspen mnt and Highlands. I still ski there some, with some time being spent at Big Sky and Bridger Bowl, Mt, and a few random places each year. I am thinking Alta next year.

Purgatory, in blue jeans at 7, neon accented one piece at 15 ripping off winecoolers from Dantes and skiing the bumps off wapiti and pimping under chair 5. Spent a winter in Tahoe between 18 and 19 and learned to board in the BC off Mt. Rose highway, Donner and Boreal. Never touched a pair of planks again.

Mt. Frontenac, MN (RIP) on Friday nights.

Occasionally I would go to Welch Village, that place seemed huge in comparison.

Rocked the Poconos for a long time. Camel Back, Shawnee, and Vernon Valley. Thursday nights at Craigmere, if I remember correctly you would drive down to the parking lot, which was at the top of the the ski area.

Are you another Cantdog? Someone who learned while in college? Damn you people that have skied 15 years less than me and are better than me already (which isn't saying much).

**MassLiberal** · 04-20-2006, 07:13 AM

No no no, I went to Colby BECAUSE I learned to ski at the Loaf, and have a deep love for the place.

I know, it's a weird way to choose an institute of higher learning, but it proved to be the correct way.

Are you kidding me? I skied with you at Jay and you were rockin out pretty hard.
