Ski

Did it get funny after the first minute? I couldn't keep watching...

If, if, if... I guess I should add that I pm'd Melissa a while back to be sure she was okay with us goofing around like this.

* I joked about my three wives drowning in the bath tub, like Drew Peterson's third wife. * Drew's fourth wife is alleged to have been removed from the Peterson home in a blue barrel. * Melissa, who has a thing for much older, extremely wealthy and almost ridiculously muscular men with three former wives, suggested I used Drew's method for dead wife removal. * Drew Peterson is a cop. * Some guy I ski with once in a while and who is involved in this thread is a cop. * Big, you should watch a little more tabloid tv and get up to speed. I'm getting you a subscription to the National Enquirer for Xmas.

I agree. I was sitting at a poker table tonight with four parents of seven kids who will not being getting any sort of season pass because there's no cheap unlimited student pass. Sno def needs to change that. One kid is a basketball player who can't ski weeknights. He just wants a season pass for Sat/Sun. The student and college passes exclude Saturday days. Sno being a tightwad about this loses them money. No way to sugar coat that one... Sunday - Friday & Nights (Sunday-Friday pass valid every night during the season, and Sunday - Friday all season, excluding Sundays of Martin Luther King, President's Weekends.)

Here ya go, Rob: Sn

:rock :rock :rock Hey, wait....

Ha, Zaugg operators aren't using GPS but are more accurate than the guys that just dug and graded the Shoppes at Montage who did? Okay. I think your nuts but you're seeing something I don't.

I think it's just something cops do

Now I'm really sorry I fired your ass, skibum. Awesome pics!

Ha, let me guess...DG, right? If so, PASR now has a new version of our beloved Skidude. Welcome here, little bro, and Doug has just met his match for #1 post whore potential.

56 racers finished the first run of today's GS in Beaver Creek. If Bode crosses the finish line in absolute dead last---56th place---would he suck?

1988...big school, though. Would you like it to be true?

Well, Glenn, I think it's an interesting topic we've never tossed around here. The only good grooming threads we have are when someone gets backed over. I just look at it a little like people saying a person capable of building a skyscraper can't build a house. The answer: one is more artistic? Or, just that it's not the same? Just makes no sense to me that current staff couldn't easily be trained. Jeez, if you can run a winch-cat, it seems like you should be capable of learning how to cut a 22' pipe with such a simple machine. Eh, that's all I'm sayin'.

I work for the sports photo division of a NE Philly company that does college and high school pics. It was founded in Bensalem, so we have a lot of schools in the area, but it's expanded to a little more than 250 colleges and 200 high schools in 12 states. BTW, my late wife went to Council Rock when it was just plain old Council Rock (oh, and she's not really dead. I just say that around Melissa 'cause her avatar is hot).

Really? I pretty much lived at Zadar's through most of the 90's. I had an apartment at Delaware Heights in Ewing just so I could be halfway between City Gardens and Zadar's, with Belle Mountain for some quick turns. Where you still in high school when you lived in that area? edit: I remember it was Doylestown, so CB East or West. I was asking because my company does a lot of schools in that area. Both were our's, but I never did sports there.

All that and you still didn't nail the prom queen? Where's the justice?

Thanks for the pics, Rat! Dancing has always been the #1 thing my late wife and I do together. We met at City Gardens (an industrial club in Trenton) and then spent every night in the Bank (in Philly), Zadars (New Hope), and on Delware Ave. (Philly). But club music started drifting toward hip-hop---even in the alternative clubs---and when we moved up here full time, we had to pick and choose 'best of the 80's' nights and those weird times at Flashbacks where there are 10 disco songs to get to one or two marginal Prince songs, like "Kiss". Upstairs at Tinks can be okay---I really like some techno, if it's techno-dance. So we kind of go out in streaks, but not during the week up here. The DJ's use weeknights as a time to play their own taste, which is almost always a waste of time. We'll go every weekend, but then not go for two or three months at a time. And that really makes my wife miserable. Her dream has been to rent space in used to be an Ames Dpt. Store and open our own all-ages club, then play our music.

Working with snow is tougher and more artistic than grading for a terraced, three-story, 9000 sq. ft. building when the surface is mud, granite, and a shelf of limestone?

Rob, your being sarcastic, right? Go ask any of the 10 guys that run your bulldozers and front-end loaders how long it would take them to be fully trained to cut a monster pipe. Heck, there's probably more to know running a side-arm mower...

Baby Moose? Isn't that a calf?

Maybe the Woodlands finally fired the DJ's they had working Fridays and Saturdays. They were the biggest tools on the planet. We'd always go clubbing not because of drink prices and definitely not because it's where everyone else goes, but because of the music. The lack of any good clubs has been the hardest part of moving up here.

Yep. Just like a shopping village...and imagine if skiing/riding caught on with the 900 trillion people who live east of here...

Okay, so they removed the stairs to the front of the lodge and planned on a walkway directly across to a second floor entrance...at least that's what I remember from one of the public meetings. I guess the walkway is moved off the front burner for now. We never used the stairway. When I'm alone during the week, I just park next to the NF and boot-up and ski. If I had to go directly to the lodge and didn't want to wait for the bus, I'd just ski and skate, but it's a bit of a workout. If Ty was with me and we had to hit the lodge (that skate is too much for her), we'd ski down to the Iron Horse, then cut over.The stairs are really just for people that want to park a cooler and don't want to wait for the shuttle. We probably jumped on the shuttle 10 or 12 times last year, mostly on the busy days when we got stuck in the far part of the lot. At worst it was a 10 minute wait. I assume they'll figure out a parking system that lets them use the long, train-like thing they bought and never used because they couldn't maneuver it. Hi, Melissa! Have you found Tinks or Flashback, yet? The Woodlands sucks, btw....

Yeah, I suppose what they call Christmas week is more accurately "Christmas period", or something like that.

Ha...but, hey, I think it sucks. I used to love to watch him do amazing things and make almost super human recoveries.
