Nah, 35 years of luck.

Too bad they're teaching stuff that's ten years out of date.

That's a good one!

There are other ligaments that you work on strengthening to compensate.

Just wondering if you got a second opinion. I thought surgery on ACL's was going out of style. At least two people I know said it didn't do a bit of good. Mr. Husky has two torn ACL's and can ski, although he doesn't do it much. I would think a brace would help with the racing part. Skimom, what do your medical contacts say these days about ACL repair?

I am wondering about how Hunter compares to CB in regard to employee attitude? They both get lots of NY'ers. Maybe the NY attitude is what produces the CB attitude.

Aside from a neighbor, my only interaction with cops has been about bad news....my dogs barked too much for some old lady, several instances where people trashed my car in a parking lot, and two speeding stops. They never did anything good for me. But, I accept that they have a purpose. I've never had an issue with a CB ranger, but I am not stupid. When I was flying down Nile Mile and saw a yellow jacket, I made sure that my turns were BEAUTIFUL and in control even if I didn't slow down a whit.

All I can say is I'm glad I am here now where the slopes are so empty, there is no need for police....This seems to include most of the highways, too!

They just hate men, obviously. I skied there 27 years and was only pulled over ONCE. I was all ready to blast the guy and it turned out he wanted to give the Siblet a reward for skiing so nice. We got a coupon to go in and get a poster. She was about five or six at the time. That being said, there is one Italian-looking one I hate because he almost hit Siblet once because he was going so fast himself on Bactrian. She was still little and Pharoah didn't exist yet.

Okay, I guess it changed at some point. That's good.

It may depend on how many days at full price there have been. They will total all of them up and subtract that from the pass price. So (without checking your prices) if the pass price was $450 and a pass is $45 a day, then once ten days is gone, you're done.

Well, there is a section of PA that gets all the "lake effect" stuff. I think they may be a bit easterly for that, but maybe not. Maybe you should visit sometime.

ski999, you've stopped when I was stopped to give an interview. I think you thought she was cute as I recall....

Well, as I recall, it's all bumped up. No grooming. If skidude races long enough, he'll end up there and you can see for yourselves.

I've given interviews many times at CB and never felt it to be an imposition. If some jerk kills himself at CB because he was on something he shouldn't have been on and CB loses some suit, the ticket prices go up. The only time I was unhappy was when I told them it was "icy" and they changed it to "frozen granular".

Above from some website about skiing. So, it doesn't mean 60-some degrees is impossible. I would imagine that the trail overall is not 66 degrees, but that some portion of it may be.

It's steeper than 45 degrees. Now I don't know "grade" from "slope", but I do know I stayed off the thing.

Siblet had her PA Cup SL's there on a parallel trail. That was an eye opener. The place is like a volcano core or something. It just pokes straight up. Really small, but a lot of angle on their trails.

I wouldn't judge a place as having the "most vert" based on their advertising. What counts is how much vert you can do in a single run. Right now, you can't do their trail with the most vertical as the trails just aren't open. We are having a heat wave here and my skis are in extreme need of some hospital care after being at this place. ROCK CITY!!!

View down the bowl below the Shedhorn lift. Across the way is the private Yellowstone Club. View of the Challenger lift. I came down this and it looks a lot steeper when you are on it than it does from below, let me tell you. This is looking pretty much straight up the way I came down. Looking toward the Lone Peak bowl area:

Views from the tram. I did NOT ski down from here as the signs said that they guaranteed you would damage your skis on the rocks and I was already pretty damaged from the "groomed" trails. Also you weren't allowed to take your skis off in those sections as it "made it worse":

View from top of the Swift Current chair across to the other peak: Views of the bowl below Lone Peak: Views looking up to the trails serviced by the Ramcharger chair: View of Lone Peak. A tram runs up to the peak.

These are from my trip to Red Lodge a week or so back. Red Lodge is NOT a destination ski area, it's more of a locals' place. They have mostly manmade snow there. Just like my trip there last spring, most of the place was not open. What was open was only half groomed, the rest was bumped up and had rocks in it. The view off the main side of the mountain is mostly of the prairies. Off the back side there are mountains, but the back side was closed so I didn't get over there.

Actually, the steepest trail in PA is at Denton -- Avalanche at 66 degrees.

That's why I always called it Suicide Alley....
