    Worth it to get expensive goggles as a begginer? (OTG Goggles)

    You are absolutely, positively going to break and scratch the sin out of the first 5 pairs of goggles you will own on this journey to the nirvana of snow. YOU decide how you like to spend your money.

    Most Overused/Annoying Skiing Terms

    Now the GSA is a hero! He embodied the best in gaper-dom, having begun in way over his head and finished conquering Alaska. He's the transcendence of a gaper. He came, he saw, and he conquered. It has seemed to me that most who were labeled "gaper", in my experience hearing and using it, came...

    Paula Broadwell

    I think the larger point being missed here is why would a four star general, who chooses to commit this error in judgement, do it with her? If one is likely to go down in a blaze of glory, why not do it with style? Its like a mid-life crisis minivan driving man wiping out his savings account on...

    Most Overused/Annoying Skiing Terms

    Well said in defense of the label "gaper". I always believed this referred specifically to their mouth's being agape when staring into the abyss as they were freezing in an open starter jacket, wet and icy Texas Gortex (jeans), and no gloves. I'll call someone who skis better than I do while...

    Most Overused/Annoying Skiing Terms

    Tele-tubbies are out of control. Its like being on the tube in London... or in 1984.

    Paula Broadwell

    She's an idiot as exemplified by what's been revealed about the sordid affair, and additionally looks like a man. NOT HOT.

    legalize it already

    After just having gone through the pain in the ass of buying health insurance, I can definitively say the answer is no. No boob jobs either. And.... a thousand bucks in equipment to grow? To grow one ounce a month? Why is that so much more expensive than the cost of growing, say.... squash?

    legalize it already

    At the end of the day, you can tie one on pretty good drinking and pass a breathalyzer the next morning. At the end of the day, you can have a few bong hits and fail a urine analysis for up to three weeks.

    legalize it already

    Well I can't say people here in Washington are exactly jumping in the streets. There seems to be more of an attitude of, "we did what?! yesterday?", like a blackout from drinking the night before. Now the questions come. -How do we as a state legally wrangle with DC? -How do we educate people...

    Halloween 2012

    Difficult choice.... but a true believer would never mock the image of the holy GSA by merely wearing a costume. One must BE the GSA.

    Tips for Whistler

    For a mid January trip booked today (10-29): Boston to Seattle is currently about $325 Boston to Vancouver is currently about $600 Considering a standard sized car rental is $100 a week, Vancouver is a loser. If you needed an SUV averaging $350 I can see the point fully.

    Tips for Whistler

    Flying into Sea-Tac is the way to go. I would also suggest lodging options in Creekside as that's better if you're not into the "village" apres gig. However, every trip deserves one night out, right? The bus from Creekside to the Village takes 5 minutes max, runs every 10 minutes, and is 2...

    Night skiing

    I'd have to say that 85% of all of my skiing in life up to this point has been at night. It'd be better to justify this based on time, but it's definitely been an economic reason. The last 4-6 seasons have had me at Holiday Valley on Sunday nights, paying $135 for every Sunday night of the...

    ski in porn

    This.... THIS! is by far the best ski discussion forum comment thread starter I have ever seen. Scotty - you rock. To the right of Ullr sits the Gaper Spirit Animal and to the left sits yourself. Its the most perfect circle. No, no I haven't done this. However I will now.
