typical digressive nature of this thread may be a waste of time...So there I was, jostling for first car with a kid, so what else is new?....so anyway, he didn't have a board, he had skis (not skiis) and he talked like he was from NZ....I paid him no mind but then I noticed his bases were chewed and he said that hucking on the first run was the plan....I said "hey, I'll get a pic", to which he promptly replied that it was gonna be impossible, since he was gonna be down before me....gotta love that spunk....well, them's fightin' words so I exited the gondola at the top, ran all the way down the stairs, clicked and skated to the pressure frame line on Climax...(yes, Climax is now open)....and took it with only a few turns on my Titan Nine skis that have no bounds, and as I looked back from the bottom he still wasn't down....so I waited.....then we sailed to the bottom at mach lots, and there he said that maybe he would follow me this next run, since I may know where it's good....well, sandbagger that I am, I took him straight to Huevos and it is deadly off the top, but the Chicken Huevos side was worthy and so he took it, with fine style.....I only mention this since he said that he is a Teton Gravity New Schooler and sounded like he had done some time at Squaw or on the board, so I figured I would give a shout out to the foreigner with the obvious skills who knew where to be this morning....and as to his name, well, out west, none offered, none asked....
