Meet the Maggots

**intermountain1** · 02-05-2010, 09:25 PM

Seems to be alot of cool people posting. Lots of great information and funny stories and great video and pics. Most of the time sharing the great stoke. I look foward to sharing and laughing with you all. I so called ski bummed in crested butte in the late 90's dishwashing and trying not to get dropped by the sick birds that inhabit the skies there. After CB spent about 6 years in steamboat pretty much landscaping/dishwashing/cooking and enjoying da light pow pow. I then went back to school and landed a job in a hospital at a resort. 4 10's still isn't enough time to ski. i kind of miss the old days, but life moves on and I still feel lucky to have a decent paying job next to a rocky mountain ski resort. well- there it is-

see you on da mountain.

Hey guys...been lurking for about a year. Started BASE jumping in 2006 and moved to SLC in 2008 to jump more and found myself skiing as well as reading the forums.

Work's moved me to Monterey, CA for a bit and I have a few jumping buddies but no ski partners, so hopefully can meet some people on here for turns and beers! Have been going to KW solo and sleeping in my car but that's getting old quick. I still suck horribly on the snow...

No I'm not the chick in my avatar, she's in my spank bank. Fap fap fap.

Hi, been skiing a couple of decades, been on here a while, have another name on here, picked this name because I put SG to shame in my gaperness.

**FuniSmell** · 02-26-2010, 10:47 PM

I finally registered after years of lurking. Been a Squaw skier for over a decade but still suck. Actually, I am in my mid thirties enjoying my regression in this great sport which is an ongoing process of losing stamina, hucking less than 10 feet, constantly injuring myself and pussing out on lines I used to ski with ease. That's ok though I'm still having fun.

**IVANtheTERROR** · 02-28-2010, 02:55 AM

ahoy, been checking out the tech forums for a while and decided to register. I've been snowboarding for 12 years but a shitty season has left me bored so I have decided to spend most of my time on telemarks.
If I had the cash I'd be chasing snow all year round but I don't so I spend my summers fishing.

**skatha** · 03-01-2010, 01:00 PM

Lurking for a while, officially on board. I like sliding on snow, hiking, biking, backpacking...
I started out snowboarding, but, after 2 ankle surgeries and 1 shoulder surgery, I've moved on to skiing. Still got a snowboard, though.
I like to flaunt my gaperness by rocking a 20 year old dayglo parka....if you see me around CO, NM, UT, and CA, say "Hi". I may suck at skiing, but, as a doc, I'm really good at picking up bar tabs

**packmule** · 03-03-2010, 03:41 PM

Great site - great people
I met a bunch of you at Magic Mountain the last two weekends. I was the guy in the blue jacket and orange head monsters. Thanks for showing me the goods and the woods.

**getoutside** · 03-08-2010, 11:52 PM

fishing is always fun ivan but there's nothing better than sliding on the snow. will be in utah for month or so and then nh for the annual pilgrimage to tuckermans, meeting up w/ & always up for running into lots of fun people along the way. and yep, that's my 5-year old girl ripping on the board. get outside, be smart and enjoy.

**mtnbiker/boarder** · 03-09-2010, 09:31 AM

^^^^^^ well its about time you join....she is a ripper and now her daddy needs to get to magic and do alittle ripping of his own....I say next week play hooky and leave the night before, say this sunday night and ride on monday!!!!!

**DasBlunt** · 03-11-2010, 06:36 PM

oh shit, I was supposed to read this first? oh well...hai!

**blowupthemoon** · 03-30-2010, 03:50 PM

Well with all the introductions here, I guess I'll just pile one on for myself. Same story as most others.
Originally from MA, cutting my teeth at MRG, Jay, Stratton, and Stowe, been living in Utah full time for the past 3 years riding PC and LCC after spending my winters out here for the previous seven and somehow managing college.
I've been lurking the boards for a while, reading anything relevant I can find - time to give back by providing some useful stoke and commentary. Not interested in dealing with the flamers and trolls on NS, but the problem with the internet is there are tough talking assbags just about everywhere.
Still it's time for the obligatory minions intro post, JONG time now.

**MyMaserati** · 04-07-2010, 06:54 PM

I just set this to my homepage. Is this a bad idea, especially with riding DT's kicking in in FULL effect?

**splat** · 04-21-2010, 10:08 PM

Getting familiar with the overall vibe and contributing wisley (that's STOKE, ladies) will usually earn a JONG a kitchen pass to enter the electron thong.
Or is that throng?
Or nude pics of your girlfriends are always a hit.

There is RELEVANT information on here??? WOW, and a JONG found it....I always thought this place was for miscreants and the ex-pat gapic and NS'ers who have been sent into exile for bad and boorish behavior.

**Flotsam** · 04-27-2010, 11:44 AM

Mighty lurksters unite. Progressing tele skier with eyes bigger than my landing gear. I am a small guy who loves big skis and not turning much. I stomp/gape the ground in the Chugach and SW Montana. looking for some beefier boots, because I keep blowing out and repairing my old 2 buckles. :P

**NCski** · 06-09-2010, 02:32 PM

Emerging from the lurker fog after a couple years. Been backpacking in the Easterns for years and now looking to up my winter BC credentials there and all places NorCal.

**skisnobounds** · 07-11-2010, 04:58 PM

aarrrgghhh... well been a long time lurker, once had a registered name and posted some but forgot all the info to log in again so just made a new one.

what do you want to know...........

**ChaosVon** · 08-06-2010, 09:28 PM

I like to ski and I love learning things from tgr so I became a member

**snowvixen** · 08-13-2010, 03:37 PM

I too have been sent into exile for bad and boorish behaviour on other ski forums, you guys seem way cooler....lets see how long it takes.

Great stuff on here BTW, makes me a happy girl

**Richie747** · 08-24-2010, 05:05 AM

Been lurking for around 6 months (or more), comin' out, but not in any kind of homophobe way heh

It was skier666's South Island TR that elicited my first response, his SLR style is astounding!

like any relationship, this forum is built on trust and respect. If you screw something up, admit it and fix it asap.. Which should save us from any jong/gaper label and all should be cool.

Thanks to all who have been here before me, for creating a pretty cool forum
Keep it real peeps

**BodhiSat** · 09-07-2010, 11:19 AM

Hey ya'll. I am a bit slow on the uptake and get a bit seasonal so I come and go. Look forward to reading, learning and sharing.
Over the past few years I have transitioned from occasional lift runs to nordic BC and I love it!
I am jonesin' for some turns man. Really. I can smell it!
Peace and Love.

**goldenshowers** · 09-16-2010, 06:34 AM

been around for a few years now finally got around to joining. Always out slaying either the KHoe (Kicking Horse), endless bc around Golden, Rogers Pass, Revy. Cheers

**IrishStyle** · 09-18-2010, 08:16 PM

what's up everyone. Just found the site. Ironically, by hitting the "I'm feeling lucky" button on Google. I was a memeber on Snowboard.com for a while but they are no longer. Love to ride. After moving to Co, I had to move away from the snow for a little while. Can't wait to get back.
