I cannot believe I have to repeat this again... While Andy did not conceive the idea itself (which, again, I did not credit such to him) it was a) in a thread about how to increase membership and b) he very quickly into this thread listed off the laundry list of sites by which one could access his site. Think about it. I know you can make the connection.

Teacher, teacher, Andy took my cookie.

You’re way off, it was my idea. What I was hoping to introduce goes like this:

I was going to suggest a FUN challenge on Lookout Below, a steep bump run

I was also going to offer my house to crash at for anyone who wanted to

.

Wow, this thread pretty much sucked except for these three lines.......name the date, although I was planning on trying to make it back to WF when the Slides open. I went last year in April for the first time with my non-skiing wife. Was a great experience even with limited terrain. Amazed I was able to get out there.Left me wanting more though.....Pam loved Lake Placid and there was plenty for her to do while I was gone.
Would definitely head out there solo to hitch up with you and tjf67. Keep us posted on the slides!

Will do and when you are up this way let us know. We do more than ski.

HEY!! I resemble that remark!!!

(I take this internet stuff way less seriously than some do...!!)

HEY!!! Thought you didn't have time for 2 boards????

Welcome :beer:

It starts with one board and then becomes 2 and 3 and so on. I got introduced to forums by my job's forum and now I'm on 4 or 5. This interweb stuff takes a lot of my time.

A lot of guys, Greg and Brian for example, had expressed an interest in skiing WF over the last couple of years.

Most Sundowners like bumps

I was going to suggest a FUN challenge on Lookout Below, a steep bump run

I was also going to offer my house to crash at for anyone who wanted to

There was a thread for Warp Daddy Day awhile back and I was thinking a tie in to that and Warp could be the celebrity judge.

I wanted to let this thread run for awhile to see if there was any interest

This sounds great, HPD. How nice of you to offer this up. I'm definitely interested in attending although more for another chance to ski Whiteface than for the bump comp. But I'd compete also (and probably lose in an early round).

I'm not into all this forum competition crap. I just want to ski a great mountain with good people. Whiteface is definitely a great mountain. Count me in.

That would be great, I'll look forward to it.

When I mentioned it on the other forum it seemed like a good idea. When 2knees tested the waters here it was met with either disinterest or hostility. I’m sorry the thought crossed my mine.

Anyways Mad there won’t be a bump contest, but if you are coming to WF let us know. If I have room you’re more then welcome to stay at my place again. The last time you where here was a great March weekend. We have Lookout Mt. open now, which wasn't your last trip and the Sugar Valley glades will be open this season, they're hugh.

I apologize for the hostility. The intentions were ambiguous but given that most people do not feel the same way, then apparently my concerns were unfounded. I'm sorry.

It was never an Earps v. Clantons thing. It was all to have a good time.

If you read Pats first post you can tell that he gets that, sorry you don’t.

That's a very nice offer HPD. I'd definitely be into a trip to Whiteface (I know I say that every year). I'm not interested in any sort of competition though.

OK, thanks for saying that.


Hmm.... I didn't think of it, I didn't post it here, yet, somehow between post in this thread and PMs written to me, I'm made the villain, thanks all.

And no HPD, not aimed at you, I know your intentions were good.

If I remember correctly you were against the idea on your own site before it was ever mentioned here on AZ.

who's down? HPD floated this idea over on andyzeeeeeeeee's board. Sounds like fun to me. As long as no one takes it too seriously.

and i can already hear the dick waving comments, ski off comparisons and the obligatory "who cares" comments. so do me a favor and stuff it if you're gonna post along those lines.

i think some people really missed the intent of this thread so i'm quoting the original post again. And just so we're clear it was hpd's idea, i liked it, and I posted it here.

now everyone relax and have a fresca........
