I'd say outside of the instructors or the Pawtucket High School ski team, I'm a top 30, perhaps even top 20 skier at Yawgoo Valley

How about you?

This is a loaded question. Now define top 30..the ability to ski anything gracefully top to bottom without spilling any beer?

No challenge at all. Real men only compete at Killington over a full 3050 vertical feet with a beer consumption requirement of a case.

NEXT!

I'm King of the Trailer Park. Does that count for anything?

I can say for absolutely certain that I do not now, nor will I ever, consider myself to be a Top Anything skier anywhere.

Well, this is a pretty tough question. I mean, what determines how good you are? Race times? Mogul contests? Park skillz? Glade slaying?

I'd say any eastern mountain that doesn't have a ski academy in the immediate vicinity (Stowe, Whiteface, Sugarloaf), and is not named Mad River Glen, I'm in the top 30.

Out west, forget it. There are some damn good skiers out there.

I think it could happen ctenidae if you keep after it.

I have been the best skier at Magic, not just top five, but best as in number 1 and I never saw a ski patroller. The other person out was the best snowboarder until later in the day when the liftie strapped on his board.

This may sound like hubris, but I have also been the best skier on the slopes of Little Switzerland in Wisconsin.

I am thinking about a Yawgoo ski off with Deadheadskier before the local schools let out to determine the best skier and second best skier on the slops of RI.
