  1. That’s just a weird thing to say in my opinion. I know my limits to, and I’ll make a run on the same hill 20 times, but I might fall one of those times when I hit a bump, and just messes me up on the line or just catch an edge. That’s not about knowing my limits. That’s just shit happens. I know some amazing amazing skiers and I’ve seen them all take a fall from time to tone over a weeks vacation.
  2. Attacking the mountain is what skiing is about. Each run is a challenge between me the hill, the bump, The line, and the trees. I’m not looking for a gold medal. I’m looking for the self satisfaction that I Skied the line well.
  3. Yep soft snow, I'm in on a good double black. Thin cover, no fresh, or it's hard pack, no bueno. Yeah the son will, make you feel your age damned quick. My son "allows" me to keep up with him. He can smoke me in a minute when he wants to. Me 59, him 29.
  4. A collision with someone else is a different story. I'm talking about running out of talent. I've always worked on the premise, if you didn't fall some you weren't pushing yourself.
  5. Well yeah, but meaning making a force cut in the line or the guy who's the first one to do the zipper thing right, and move to the intersection point at the front of the line ?
  6. You, might not break in the same way, but shit happens on the slopes. I know my limitations, but I'm always pushing it a bit. I missed cracking my kneecap on a tree in January by about 2".
  7. That's career ending depending on your age. And I always naively thought that was a pretty protected area.
  8. Can we please leave Sigourney out of this sick, little, love tryst ?
  9. I've read some stuff that says their subs are as good if not quieter than ours. I take those articles with large grains of salt. I have little faith in Russians doing anything of quality except vodka, and caviar. I'd agree with most everything up till the use of a battlefield nuke. I think that's a gamble they don't have the balls to use. At that point it does become the entire world vs them, and NATO would have a retaliation move up their sleeve.
  10. Welp.... so much for going to JH..... Imagine that break above the boot.
  11. He hits the hill like a freight train, built like a tight end.
  12. My buddies lower leg ending his week at Jackson Hole. Said he was just finishing a run in one of the bowls, and was just hitting a small run out gully. 2 clean, and complete breaks just above the ankle, almost surprised they didn't go compound. The boot kept 'em in place for the most part. He's a big guy, so he hits the hills, and bumps pretty damn hard.

    Colonoscopy

    Spending the afternoon on the sofa, and toilet after the first Suprep cocktail yea haw !!
  14. So that stopped like what, 6 people from buying igloos ? Yeah, that would never happen here.
  15. Yeah, but it shouldn't but money always ends to politics in someway. I know, and I'm not a fan of price controls typically. First time, potential home buyers are being priced out of just but every market. Seems like that needs to be addressed somehow.
  16. Sure there's always an angle. Housing costs should have some kind of formula tied to the cost of living, wages, and how they rise, and fall as an at least regional average. Of course it's above my pay grade to figure out a way it could work, but the same kind of smart people who could figure out how to scam it could figure out how to make is more scam proof. And should housing maybe not be tied to market value ? I'd say there are other indicators prices could be tied to.. maybe ?
  17. What does bum rush the line mean ,
  18. Yep, speculating on residential real estate shouldn't be going on. It's pricing people out of home ownership artificially. Seems like unless you personally don't live in the domicile you shouldn't be able to make more than a token profit from the sale.
  19. This is not civil war. Ukraine is a sovereign nation. Civil War is armed conflict within one country with multiple opposing forces fighting for control of that country, that is not what’s going on in Ukraine. Russia has invaded Ukraine. End of Story.
