Hi Everyone,

I'm happy to be here. I'm an avid skier, although I only returned to the sport (after 12 years of not skiing) this past year. Loving it, but still having trouble adjusting to skiing on shaped skis, and with a much-worse-shaped body :blink:

Anyway, am an active member over at Snowjournal, and just found Alpine Zone by coming across your ski area challenge interviews (love them - great insight into the industry!) so thought I'd join the forums and, well, add another web site to waste hours a day on :lol:

Last year I split my skiing time about 50/50 between Crotched (love that place) and Wachusett (10 minutes from home, so convenient). This year I have a WaWa pass, but still hope to hit Crotched for midnight madness a few times. Had to choose where to get a pass, and the 10 minute drive to WaWa versus an hour and 10 to Crotched made it the obvious choice, even though I enjoy skiing more at Crotched.

Anyway, I hope to have some fun and meet some of you out there this season. Happy to be here!

Jason

Hi all!
I'm trekchick from EpicSki. I originally registered here to answer the "epic is down" questions last week but it was fixed before I had a chance.
This sure seems like a nice crowd

Hey!
I've actually skied with PARidgeracer a kton last April Fools day.
I don't know if I should post that I gave him a Butt Rub..........should I?
There is a thread on EpicSki titled Trekchick's Butt Rub
I've only posted a few times here and already feel very

Yea! He forgot his camera (or so he said) so he had someone take a pic of him on his cell phone and he emailed it to me so he could have it to post.

He is a very good friend, but I'm prone to picking on him. ;)

Most of my time is spent at Crystal Mountain and Caberfae peaks in Michigan. However, I like to make a few day trips to Boyne and Nubs Nob.
This year I have a season pass for A Basin as well. Look for a phenomenal Trip report :spread:

Speaking of which, do you guys compare quiver size here?[/QUOTE]

Sure I have 5 pairs of skis and I'll probably have a 6th pair before the ski season starts...but only two pairs of poles..lol

Addiction to message forums?

I have copied a portion of this conversation to a new thread here, in an attempt at not hijacking the new member thread. :p
