Hello, I know this is not a great first post, but this is the thread that brought me here so I have to chime in because you got me thinking.
If you want to consider flats, racing, moguls, terrain parks and tree skiing all at once, I would say top 30 at any resort in North America where there is not a competition going on, but only because you asked. I can't really race, but I think I won the Killington Klassic mogul comp. 2 days in a row and I put up some pretty good results at the national competitions back in the 90's.
Since then, I've been working on some other types of skiing, and this thing someone showed me called the outrigger turn. Some of you might know what it is, some not. It's basically a position that you would take to try and blow out your ACL. But if you do it right, you are carving on your uphill edge with your armpit and side scraping the snow and it's pretty sick. I've been at it a few years and I don't think anyone else is really trying to do this like me, at least not that I have seen.
Also to my credentials, I made the first pair of twin tip skis about 2 years before any of the manufacturers did from a pair of Volkl P40s. I was also on Salomon's first demo team back when they were trying to figure out how to make twin tip skis. I don't know if anyone here would know who I am by name, it's been a while since I've done anything publicly on skis, so I'd rather not say just because I think this is sort of a jackass post to make.
I also own a ski website that is just starting out and a few poker websites. Enough of this intro post. Looks like a nice forum here and I look forward to checking things out now that I got business out of the way.
