Yes, really really sad. Having something like this happen to an Olympic athlete, or any athlete, is just so wrong. Me being Georgian only adds more to my sadness and, to be honest, frustration. We are a tiny country with limited resources and I have been to the poor town where Nodar lived...

Ah memories! That secret stash of yours was awesome! Has it remained secret though? Its been "open" for 2 years now and the entry into it is pretty visible from the trail.

Yes, steep is definitely what I am after. I think I will primarily spend time at Smuggs, Sugarbush and maybe head up to Jay and Burke if the mood strikes. Of course there will be a day or two of very expensive skiing at Stowe. I hope Madonna lift line will be skiable by late January. After...

Dude was catching some good air on Madonna lift line... were those mandatory or was he picking out the route with the biggest ice ledges? I have only seen a couple of pictures of the lift line and it looked like it had some small mandatorys or more like very steep straightline sections where...

So focus on resolving the real world drama and stop worrying about Andy's "evil memeber poaching tactics".

Anyway, lets just cool this down a bit. I think Andy is being made into a vilain in this thread. When AZ starts correctly referring to Andy's forum (ie stop calling it andyzone and the like), then we should expect Andy to stop posting all the URLs. I think that is a fair middle ground. I...

How would you know what is right up my alley? Does disagreeing with you or Greg on this specific topic automatically qualify me as a perfect member of NSchat?

Lets say for the sake of the argument that is true... and AZ's way of stopping this "evil member-stealing ploy" is trash talking Andy and his forum. Fantastic strategy! It is IDIOTIC.

1) hpd / 2knees suggested it on this forum. Maybe it was an idea bounced around elsewhere, but a long standing member, with many great contributions to AZ is the one who suggested it here on this forum so leave Andy out of it. 2) I had no idea that AZ had the "rights" to its members'...

Doh, how the heck am I supposed to get to Stowe now from Albany. I guess I'll have to take the Glen's Falls route.

Douchey comment...

Yes, I think thats what I meant. Deadhead just PMed me the same thing :) I did a few runs off the top of Mansfield a few years ago... they went along the resort and eventually joined up with what I think was the some runs on Spruce or a blue on the Gondola side, like the Chin Clip runout or...

Plus it would be tough to convince my lazy ski-once-a-year friends to make the trek. I would rather save my credits for trying to convince them to hike above the Stowe gondola and ski noze dive or something. Even that is a stretch with occasional skier types...

I thought virtually all Subie wagon/crossover/suvs came with a builtin roof rack, so the only difference is that the new Outback has the cool fold-away ones. So what you guys are saying is that the new fold-aways specifically don't allow the foot packs because of their design? That is a bummer.

Really? I thought that the new Outback came with fold-away cross bars to reduce noise and save fuel. Pretty smooth if you ask me. Does the thule/yak stuff not attach to the fancy new cross bars?

(Note to self: add Marc to my people to kill list)

Well... I disagree with this statement.. (which automaticaly means I don't like you :)) I am pretty sure that most of us are better that GSS or HS. Sure, I don't know what is going on beyond their monitor but I am sure I don't want to know. :roll:

Yes that was the time I hit a snake in the woods, lost a ski and wrapped myself around a tree. Not a fun moment, but the snow was so good I kept skiing. Next day was some serious bruising and pain. Crap. I guess I'll be doing a 45min ride to go 3 miles. I was thinking Monday. It is...

Thanks guys... I am glad I checked. So Bolton goes into the "back-up" category and now the list is: Stowe (2 days) Smuggs (2 days) Sugarbush Burke Jay I have never been to Smuggs but it does look like there is plenty of steep skiing to be had. One thing that I find annoying is that I have to...

Ah, forgot Burke. Been there once, really liked it. I'll have to check it out again.
