how long is a piece of string?

you must do one hail GSA for every tenth of an inch of snow. The Almighty GSA does have mercy, but very little.

So I was searching for funny images to photoshop the GSA into and was searching for cave paintings. I found this link:

The first image can't be a coincidence. It is the oldest known image of somebody skiing... Look at the two sticks on top of the head. Gopros were apparently around 4000 years ago. The GSA skis across time.

She's not a duck. I saw many orange pants today but none coupled with the holy GoPros, harness and stupid fucking shovel on the outside of pack. Have we been forsaken for the hallowed halls of the Structured Products Desk of Morgan Stanley?

The earliest known skier had tip and tail rocker?

**Newsance** · 03-13-2012, 06:15 PM

No sightings at Snowmass on 3/10, but there was no new snow in a week, so I guess that's not a surprise.

Still, I felt like I was been punished as an unbelieving, non gro pro owning heathen.

when will we start seeing disciples?

people wearing orange pants, Go pro's front and back? A harness?

Maybe not everything at the same time.... but one has to start somewhere...

**DaveTV** · 03-13-2012, 06:34 PM

I smell GSA "Flash Mobs" showing up at a ski lift near you...

**b0ardski** · 03-13-2012, 06:43 PM

I've gone to worship in my orange jacket & green pants but it just doesn't look right, may GSA have mercy on me for my heresy.

I'm tempted to say that's one of the most boring ski videos ever, but upon reflection I realized it's better than most POVs. Except for those made of, or by, the GSA, of course.

Us that an arm or a toe point?

He may keep these things handy for a quick escape after the next financial meltdown

At any rate I fear the GSA's gawdy teenage years are gone -- he will keep training but with less gaping

and that just makes me sad

**splat** · 03-13-2012, 10:32 PM

I say we invite him to the Mammoth Mini.

it's a pole mounted GoPro

aka The Third Eye

The GSA is all seeing (and all recording)

**Kyle Miller** · 03-13-2012, 10:39 PM

I would like to take a moment to give thanks to the GSA for delivering waist deep powder to our humble small resort.

In the name of the GSA, the climbing harness, and the holy gopro, Amen.

I told my roommate rather excitedly that the GSA had become self aware.

''He's just growing up," was his reply.

Aren't we all...

Perhaps one day the Holy Ark of the GSA will be revealed, and all of the sacred POV footage within will be showered upon the Earth to the singing of angels. (Or the hum of YouTube servers - same thing really.)
