Long time Lurker living on the west slope!
Me, 12 years ago when I didn't give a damn about transition. I'm a different guy now. Dad and shit.

Hola maggots, yet another lurker turning poster. And looking for ski buddies for spring turns in the Alps, any takers?
Wannabe from the mountain-less Belgium reporting in.
I ejaculate upon hearing the word 'Alp'
and I once broke my pinky during a pathetic attempt at removing my boot liner.

I like to play.
Scando JONG.
More accurately Norwegian JONG.
Old enough to know better, but just don't care.
Picked up skiing again after a 20 year break. Been snowboarding though. But mostly I'm to be considered a retired downhill mountainbiker. Been banged more than enough during the summers. So now it's on to getting banged up during the winter.
Currently on alpine skiis during the winter.
But strongly considering a tele setup this winter. If my bum knees can handle it.
Also a bike mechanic, ski tech and personal trainer by trade..
According to folklore, born with skis on my feet.
Time to stop lurking - German, sadly living in the UK for another year or so, do spend about 2 months or so in Cham & sorroundings each season though.
IMHO, don't bother with the tele. Nothing against em, I do a bit myself when i feel cocky or need a workout. However if you're just getting into backcountry (AT not tele), skiing tougher off-piste, skiing zee powder - you should forget the teles and just get serious miles on AT skis. Get some good ones, get a season's pass somewhere and shred every fucking day you can.
Then hook up with some folks who know the BC, take avi courses, attempt not to kill yourself. ULLR would be proud, norwegian boy. Do you perhance have any sauna photos of some close norwegian female relatives?
PS
Nee.

Not like aunts or grandmothers either.

This is OUR mountain - come join us!
Another lurker who finally got around to posting. I grew up in the PNW and moved out to the Midwest after college. I will be in Washington this winter and looking for people to ski with.
New member, always ski at moonlight basin.
Let the JONGing begin!
Yep, the mountains are gay.
Yo yo.
Long time skier (32 of my 35 years), engineer and product designer. Been luring here a bit this summer. Hoping to further my stoke for this season and bounce some product ideas I've got off folks on the board here.
Hey, hello there, after lurking a little here I am.
My english may be rusty or bad, because I'm from France, Hautes-Alpes (La Grave, Montgenevre...). I'm 22, and I like to ski off the slopes, not only powder but in any kinds of snow, and charge as much as I can.
I went on TGR forums to found some informations and products that we don't even know in France (little brands, etc...), and to see the Quiver Thread because it makes me feel less alone (even if I have a couple friends who have the same "collecting" problem) to have "a few" pairs of skis...
