Ridge is on junior race skis.... Ski999's wife skied on Atomic GS:11 junior skis for the longest time, and she's a lot older then 16

Head to Nestors for boots, and make sure you talk to Peter, the owner. He did my footbeds and the other mods to my boots, and I couldn't be happier. I used to ski in extreme pain because of my boots, now I don't feel a thing!

Well, I don't know how much she weighs, but I'm going to say since she's just beginning, it might be better off to start with a junior race ski (one step below the real thing). You can get things like a 158cm GS:11 or junior SL:11s. I think the LT might be a bit too much for someone just getting into racing....

I believe it's a 6:30 start as well.....Comeon! You can't miss thursday, you have perfect attendance!

Sean, what model are they?

I've skied the last 30 out of 31 days, so chances are I'll be there...

Big department store in Bethlehem. And yea Skifreak, they already have some condos on the river, and they're going for some big $$$, and people are buying them...amazing.

The on the snow test is the only way to tell. When I got my race stock GS:11's, I bent them with my hand, and they felt the same as my retail GS:9s, but it's a WHOLE different story on the snow. It's a night and day difference. Take it out and enjoy!

That's called a coach, which requires alot of training, hence the reason why Justo8484 isn't a coach, or his brother. Blue wanted them to do all this training to be a freeride coach, and it wasn't worth it Justo said.

Isn't that just as bad as skipping lines with the free ride team when somebody isn't even on it?

If ANYONE EVER gets pulled over at blue for speeding on anything but Paradise or Burma, ask for mark miller, because, and i quote mark miller, "You can ski as fast as you want until your hair catches on fire anywhere else but paradise and burma and easy/outvista"

I said that to doug, i'll do it later...

It was the highlight of our day, we couldn't stop laughing. It was Doug's really loud BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH right at him that got him really mad, at the point when I was talking to him, he really wasn't getting to mad, but then he went whistle crazy.

Well today was a huge improvment over yesterday, condition wise. It was a bit chilly, but still, freshly blown stuff everywhere, except Challenge and Razors and Paradise were closed to start the day, then paradise opened at 8ish, then Challenge and Razors opened at the same time around 10. We were getting bored, because none of the double diamonds were open, so we decided to take a run down Paradise. Well, 1/2 way through, this ski patroller was standing at the slow skiing sign and pointing at it to Doug and I and blowing his whistle, we just kept on skiing. We get on the lift, and we decided to do it again, this time really slowly and see if he STILL blows his whistle at us. So we're on the same straightaway, going as slow as i possibly can, the guy starts whistling at us, so instead of keep skiing, I stop to give this guy crap, and this is how it went... D = Doug J = Jeff M = Mark Miller, the Ski patroller. Mark Miller. M = This is a slow skiing trail J = I was skiing slowly J = What about those guys? They're going 2x as fast as me M = WHISTLE WHISTLE J = Excuse me sir, I was skiing very slowly, and if Challenge was open, I could ski fast, but only ski patrollers are allowed to ski it this morning D = BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH Doug and I start skiing away and he starts blowing his whistle. We were weaving throughout people, and I saw Mark Miller try to get in front of Doug, and well he did eventually, and stopped, blew his whistle at us, and we kept going. He was tailing us, so we just stopped on how stretch, and well, Mark Miller was pissed. M (into his radio) = Can I get some help kicking some guys out? 10-4 M = I would've let you guys go, but you both have serious attitude problems, let me see your pass He pratcially rips Doug's pass off, and I take my good old time taking mine off. M = Management tells me Paradise and Burma are a slow skiing trails, and I have to enforce it. J = We were skiing slowly M = Let's move to the side out of the way D = Who's glove is this (standing right above it) M = It's mine (Doug skis over to the side, and doesn't pick it up for him) M = The pen is frozen D = You could just let us go without a ticket M = No M = I really don't like to do this, and I'm very lienent, I'm one of the more lienient ones... Well, it went on, and he was trying to check their database on Doug and I, and nobody would answer back on the radio for a few minutes, and then he tried to right us our tickets, but his pen wouldn't work, so he took us down below, but while he was trying to put everything back into his backpack, everything started to spill out, his ropes, his bens, his lipstick, his lube, etc. Doug actually breaks out into a laugh. So we get down to the bottom ski patrol house, so he could get a new pen, since his other ones were frozen. He came back out and started righting the ticket. J = Isn't ***** ***** a patroller here? M = yes he is, I've skied with him for 15 years J = Oh, he's a good friend of mine, he belongs to the same club as I do M = Oh, I grew up at Saucon J = I bet you're not a member though (wiseass remark) M = No. J = Is he around? I'd like to have a chat with him about you. M = He's not here today He wrote the tickets for us, and handed us our copies.... M = Now when you talk to ***** about this J (cutting him off) = Oh, no, I'm not talking to ***** about this, I'm talking to the management, who I know very well. I'm sure they would LOVE to here how their employees, even though you're probably not even paid, treat their customers. I don't remember everything that was said, but we put him through a living hell, he was sooo frustrated since everything wasn't working, no one was ansawering the radio. Mark Miller's name will live in infamy. BTW, our last lift ride, we saw a PASR'er in line, he wasn't wearing a helmet, but the sticker was on his strap....red jacket...?

You must feel like Bill Gates and Donald Trump put together when you get your yuengling or guiness

I have a little buddy that races at Blue, he's 10, and he's on 130's...Where's Ski999 when ya need him!

Have fun!

Well you weren't the first chair, Doug and I were!

Every tom dick and harry was there when I got there, really cleared out at 5.

You'll be back at Booter soon enough

Because I'm sure he did training runs

I couldn't see one I got into my neighborhood, the snow was flying up over my windshield cause it was so deep.
