I was with a group of young people a few weeks back and one of them turned around to one of the younger leaders and said "young person not stupid person" which has had me chuckling ever since :)

Ian, go back and try again ... it is worth every second :!:

Another great story with deep meaning Pavel :thumbup:

Was this a trip to Tuckerman, Pavel?

swskier, you say you're troublesome ... but we can tell you're wise ... :!:
Mike :wink:

Thanks Mike, being a bit of a kn*b, great story Pavel. :oops:

Sorry Ian,

I had no intention to offend - which I may have done. Sorry :oops:

Yes Mike,
Every year at the very, very, very end of my skiing season, I go to this magical place called Tuckerman Ravine where there is snow till June.
Strange people go there that are "addicted" to skiing and do not want to end the season.
They bring all sorts of gifts to the gods in order to have another snow storm.

If any of you know about the "Burning Man" event in California,,well this is the equivalent in skiing! ( It is worth your while to go to this site, just to get "flavor" of this event. Just type in Google burning man)

Now we have 30 lads call me up and asking when the trip will "happen" and who the "lucky" goofer will be this year. I get all sorts of calls from parents, police, teachers, and even priests since they have heard about this "trip"! Seems there are lots of candidates and it seems to be more every year!

Will send you video of the 2009 event Mike!

No offense taken Mike, It was a genuine apology, I should have read the whole posting, just being a bit lazy. :lol:

I wonder if I could be in that video ? :shock: My wife will tell you that I can be troublesome :!: :mrgreen:

Some year this may be a great place for the J2Skiers to meet and get to know each other even more :roll:

Mike :wink:

Mike,
I was asked by some women skiers about, "female problem" in the skiing context.
Unfortunately I do not feel qualified to prepare a text,,but wait,,I found a women ski instructor who is willing to do so.

The problem is that many of the problems she brought out were men related.

I think I will have to pass this by Dave,,since I do not want to start another long long "discusssion" about male/female issues!

One of the points she makes is about the "male aggressive skiing style" which many men consider good ("expert") skiing!

You ski with your wife at all times,does she have input?

All the time... :shock: Well most of the time... The question at the top of the lift ... left or right ??? she selects the next run. It is all good to me - left or right :!:. After a while she may wish a rest so off I go for a solo run. Not as much fun without her :roll:

If she has a good time then I will too. Every Saturday morning (after a stressful work week) we leave home about 7:45am for the 9 am first chair. Being there for the first chair keeps me happy and this may be her effort for the good days we have. By the end of the season, there is no getting her out the door early on a Saturday morning :!:

Mike :wink:
