Rattler Sky - Yep its tough to do. :snow: I just went hiking Tremblant yesterday to get started for this season. Leaves etc... but yes getting in shape is harder the older or longer you wait. Over the years I've had many minor injuries if you could call them that. The worst was a crushed L5...

Rattler :snow:Pool, Straight pool, Billiards, Nine ball, Century I've played them all during the rain storm of 97 we couldn't go skiing anywhere up here in Gatineau region. As I lived close to the Ottawa city core. Which did not experience a power failure though thousands of power lines and...

Rattler :snow: I wish you all the very best this year coming. Positive action and living is well underway with your wife and kids keep going and get this experience behind you. Sking can wait but get her out there skiing when she is able to get her strength back. Support her tough attitude...

Rattler I get one every year as its a standard thing with me (when I remember). I've traveled quite a bit usually from Ottawa:snow: to Vacouver to Whistler:snow: or the Carribean when I want a break :beer: and I hate ruining a good holiday by catching a bug:angry:. So I try to get one every...

Rattler I went to the site the clip is cool - Tigne:snow:. I think mogul skiing has changed severly from when I was a mogul freak. It was part out of bounds mixed with huge volkswagon sized bumps. Today its manicured and the path is perfect it seams. It certainly takes huge leg power to do...

Rattler I remember this one well, (15 years ago):snow:I was at Mont Tremblant and it was one of those days where you flip a coin is it a stay or should we go so we got up at 5 a.m. and went, getting there for 7:30 a.m. Went to the north side and parked the car and went skiing. The weather...

Rattler Tremblant is OK but its a resort tourist type of place the Epcot Centre of the North summed it up well. The runs are a GS skiers dream and are a 3/4 world cup scale. The runs are mostly groomed the snowmaking is fantastic during those no snow seasons. The accomodations and night life...

Rattler Friends will be friends but we all have done this! Who is the best skier amongst a group of friends? :snow: Here is my pound of stupidity. When young and carefree we will often do the unthinkable mixed with some serious mogul skiing. We skied the seasons first 3 weeks but didn't have...

Rattler I've been skiing to long First time out was way back in 1961-62 as I was a 3 years old with my father a St. Johns first aid ski patroler at the local ski hill - Campfortune Gatineau Canada.

Rattler I'm in the Gatineau region but was wondering if I can race Nastar as a Canadian? I like to visit New England each year. Lots of good skiing and people to meet down there. Plus recreational racing is just plain fun!

Rattler A skier should never be stuck with one pair of skis, get a couple of pairs.:snow: Ever, Even back in the 70's I had 6 pairs to have fun with as I worked in a shop, one pair I loved were 175 Olin Mark IV's and I loved to train downhill with them then jump back to 210, 223's. Parabolics...

Amazing is right as few others... Why? Because he had won all 3 (olympic) gold medals during the Grenoble 1968 Olympics since then for the combined title. DH: 1. GS: 1. SL: 1 (68). Just before the specialized skiers started to appear. As most skiers today specialize. Killy was the last of the...

nocomp, hey great photos I like the 360 panoramic great photos. Chamonix eh??? I'm jealous already Hmmm,(ok I'm over it:snow:) but glad for you as its a great area. How are the glaciers doing ?I heard that they are really melting faster these days? Chamonix is the one place I would like to ski...

He won't be the last... Over the years most downhillers are a very focused group. Downhillers are also risk takers and Bode isn't the first to hoist, toast one in the starting shack/ gate either before a race and nor the last. Actually in Europe its a historical tradition until a few years...

Thanks Greg I'm possibly a source of information I guess as I have worked many years locally as a ski technician between graphic design contracts. I've always been busy skiing or getting ready to go... I started skiing in the 60's and I'm still going strong. Most friends have no idea that I...
