Top 30 DH points this year would be something in the low 40's. Top 75 GS would give you 27 points. That is probably where the points came from. Of course, would that have been the same 15 years ago? Who knows? I went back to the 2004-2005 Fall points rankings and the points for number 75 were 38, so obviously that can vary markedly over time.

Thanks for the link, I hadn't read that thread, being a bit far from the shop... I think there should be some time limits on the editing myself. Like, an hour later is too late to change things.

Was this topic broken off from another which I didn't read? What "House" are you talking about? Is this a message board member who is making claims or something? Are the points USSA, FIS, or NASTAR? 26 points is pretty boring for a NASTAR handicap -- something I might achieve if I put my mind to it.

I had to think about that for a minute, because initially I thought you had a point. Maybe though, they were autographed during the time of Bode being overall champ and this dude is one of the MANY who deserted Bode when he kept on being Bode this year and lost a lot.

I'm sure it's an age thing. The people on EpicSki are about my age. Spelling is important to them. The people on TGR are more interested in hucking cliffs.

What happened? You were copying all the stuff from there to here, now suddenly you don't like it? Did you get hammered by someone there or something?

Sounds like it's time for you to come back, that was 40 years ago.

We all went on a hike this weekend to this beautiful lake. That's Siblet. I missed getting a shot of what I think was a Great Blue Heron. There were loons and lots of ducks, plus fish jumping all over. Too bad it's so far from where you park, I don't know if I'd want to try to carry fishing gear up that trail.

I averaged 68 days a year the last three seasons. Before that, it was more like 30 or so.

Siblet was there, complete with running a fever. Leaving her CAT team jacket at home didn't help either, nor did the cold garage for food. Then the race organizers lost my driver's license.

Shouldn't this be in the Gear forum rather than the Mountain Creek forum?

Well, I was too busy skiing to take them down before skiing was over mid-April and now I've been taking them down slowly.

We're at 3700 feet. There's still plenty of snow on the upper half of the mountain, say above 5500 feet, but I don't earn turns.

This is what happens if you don't take down your Christmas decorations....Yes, it's May 2, 2006 and I still have the studded snow tires on the car.

6 foot and about 170 lbs. Now he's asking about the Salomon Foil.

I knew he skied a bunch, so I wasn't biting.

Slight problem, the season's over and I think he's looking for off season deals... Most of our moguls here are not the hard icy things you see back east. I've been kind of pushing the PE.

Siblet's boyfriend is thinking of switching from snowboarding to skiing next year. He was asking me about what kind of equipment he should buy, but given his age I think he'd probably prefer freestyle or freeride skis. Plus for a few weeks anyway, I'll be a better skier than he is, so I don't know what he should get. He asked me about the Line Prophet 80's. How good would these skis be for someone who'll want to go off groomed as soon as he can link turns and be TRYING to keep up with Siblet? (I am sure he has decided that the snowboard is NOT the right equipment for that.) He'll mostly be skiing Bridger Bowl, which has either high back country chutes or boring groomed or lots of moguls.

One is allowed to do that. BUT, I skied Blacktail last weekend (about an hour or so south of here, but with north-facing slopes) and the skiing was ....interesting. No glide on the stuff, felt like you were skiing sand. My head kept telling my skis to hurry up or the head was going to end up down the hill first. Quite a tiring day. AND, I'd waxed TWO pairs of skis the night before. One with a combination of yellow and molybdenum covered with pink, the second just yellow. I switched skis at midday and it was no improvement. Plus every turn you had to THINK THINK THINK so that you didn't catch an edge. That type of condition is ACL injury time and I like my knees.

And here is an April 19 shot of the mountain. Siblet and friend drove up there last weekend, though, and said that up close the snow looks pretty bad. Current web shot of base area:

uh, NOT cuddly.
