    Craigslist reply to Avy Course ad

    I have to share this with you guys. It's great. A little background: I'm trying to set up a Level 2 avalanche course in Denver from Dec. 28-31 and we need 1 more person to make it happen. My friend posted the info on the course on Craigslist, and the got this reply:

    Hi,

    Can you please tell me more about this? I'm really
    really interested in this. This sounds like it will be
    fun. Does the cost include the travel to Colorado? How
    are you planning to go there?

    About me, I'm a 28 yr old East Indian guy. I'm not
    wierd or anything like that and will try my best to be
    fun. I don't have lot of experience with mountains and
    am a bad skiier but have lived in Minnesota for a
    while and have seen extreme weather conditions. I'm
    also in good shape so being on mountains shouldn't be
    a problem for me.

    The only reason I want to go for this is because I
    think it will be fun, exciting and adventurous. I've
    never been on snow peaked mountains (like the ones
    shown in Cliff Hanger or Vertical Limit) and would
    love to go there.

    Please write to me if you have any more questions.

    Thanks,
    Nitin

    I almost rolled off my chair reading it! In other news, if anyone is intrested in the avy course, details are in my post in the Slide Zone: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=67109

    He'll probably send you a cashiers check for more than the cost of the course and then ask you for some cash back for his trip.
