No offense but you don't understand skiing, skiing has almost nothing to do with numbers, how fast, how much vert is all entirely meaningless bullshit. There is skiing as a lifestyle and skiing as a sport and your not even doing the later. Skiing is about the turn, i don't give a fuck if I do 60mph if I didn't ski at 60mph the right way, your technique is pure survival, what can I do with my skis to get down X. Useful, fun to an extent but if you want for it to get real interesting you gott

This is why we love Jlaw

Huh, I love skiing alone, but get bored on the lift sometimes. iPod + pocket beer makes it tolerable. If I were alone with just my own thoughts, I would brood too much.  Anecdotal observation: In the mornings, people tend to be chatty on the lifts, which passes the time. In the afternoon and evenings, hardly anybody talks to anybody else. Either way is fine with me, but it's a funny phenomenon. 

Music & pocket beer

Awesome - you are right on the access road. There is a free bus that will shuttle you right to the mountain.  Your first day I think you will have to start on the Spruce side of the street and get you

There are no experts.....well extremely few and they are far greater skiers then we could ever hope to be.

That said way to get your dick wet, this was probably a good introduction to a much larger world...........whatever you do don't fight the pow rather you must flow with it. It's like sailing, you can't change the wind so you gotta change your sails.

Wow just wow my tags change all the time by themselves. Welp don't bother reading this thread anymore, it's a waste of time. Don't see any actual posts edited yet though, so that's a good sign.

Yep I called it right. It's already just as crowded as the busiest I've seen it so far this year, and its only 10. I'll stick around for a little while to see how bad it gets, then I might go biking instead this afternoon. The line for lift tickets looks like the line for black Friday shopping already. Whatever though, got some real nice runs in before the madness begun.

Is there a Camelback report from today or yesterday. I need a reason to SUJOPO. Plus Matt Edge wanted to know how cliffhanger was.  I think him and enjorales are hitting the camel next weekend to ski with salty

Meh, the last 2 days have been pretty uneventful. Starting to get bored with skiing, I've done every single trail at Camelback ad nauseum at this point. Maybe I'll take a brief hiatus and go road biking next weekend instead.

The highlight of my day was when I was cranky this morning and some dude on the lift ride kept asking me pointless questions, like what do I do, where do I work, am I married, do I have kids, etc. He was a nice guy, but I hate making unnecessary small talk with people on the lift sometimes unless it's an interesting topic, like skiing or something.

Salty sounds like you got a little taste of your own medicine.  Maybe next weekend ski somewhere different for a change.  When you like skiing, skiing the same runs over again doesn't bother you because you are skiing..we've all skied the same runs at Blue over and over again and still wanna go out there.

Cause you ask a lot of questions on lift rides( which is fine) so somebody else did. Anyway nothing wrong with meeting new friends.  They can scratch the areas of your back you can't reach.

Oh that lol. I wasn't aware I ask a lot of questions until Atomic pointed that out, thanks. But at least I sort of know you guys from posting on here. I hate when random people that I will never see again after the lift ride start asking me personal questions.
