You, him, chinese downhill, you the man! He the beotch.

He skis quite a bit more than most.....I wouldn't underestimate anything. It's not like he's a new skier either, I think he's been at it for a few years now. Then again we're all in interweb land, so nothing would suprise me.

For this guy who skis so much, and keeps all of his stats and trip reports, he has basically no pics as proof......

That's cuz he's too busy shreddin' the gnar in Pennsylvania to take pix :lol:

I should shut up... I learned to ski in good 'ol PA too.

in your Levi's or Wranglers??

who goes to jackson and does not take single picture.

who knows but he sure can talk. or type.

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

Can't tell from here, but I'll bet he can. I bet out of all the people who post here he'd be somewhere in the top half skill wise. I'm not sure why I think that it's just a feeling.

Dude takes alot here, from me to, (cause I know he's lying about skiing WF), but he rolls with it pretty good. That's something.

He can ski on this side or this side but not in the middle.

Someone who logs triple digit ski days multiple seasons has to be able to ski, right? He also seems pretty passionate, but who knows... Actually, I would like to ski with the kid someday to find out for myself. I have a feeling he would avoid that at all costs though, so that might be telling.

Well here my skiing resume..

1991-93..weekly outings to Blue mountain with middle school ski club..an occasional trip to NY or VT with my Dad..

1994-97..High school trips to Whiteface, visited Stowe and Sugarbush with my Dad a few times and decided to go to UVM...first season pass at Blue mountain in 95-96 when I learned to drive..48 days that season...66 days senior year of 96-97..

1997-2001..UVM years..mainly skied woods and bumps at Stowe..some Sugarbush..some MRG..some Jay Peak. First ski trip out west with my Dad to Whistler-Blackcomb..Crested Butte with former girlfriend..not much PA skiing..

2001-2002..First trip to Jackson Hole with ex-girlfriend..loved the place so much but decided to skibum in Montana because living would be a hell of alot cheaper..

2002-2004..living in Bozeman MT..season pass at Bridger Bowl and Frequent skier card at Big Sky..more cold smoke those two seasons than my entire life..

2005-Now..season passes at Blue mountain..about a month total at Jackson Hole..upcoming Utah trip in April..early and late season skiing in VT..

I feel like I'm a pretty competent skier..I'm up to like 800-900 lifetime ski days..I'm definitely a hell of alot better than when I was in college..fatter..shorter skis help a ton in the bumps and trees. I'm not just a groomer skier but we don't have much else here in PA. I enjoy the occasional Nastar..ASRA races for shits and giggles..Silver medal in the 20-29 year old age group..what what..

I wish I could ski with the AZers on a regular basis..I should be at Stowe at least once in the late winter/springtime and Belleayre as well. I use more and more of my vacation time to ski out west. Anyway fresh PA Poe today after work..the Rossi Scratch BCs are going to rock!!!!

Why travel with an $$$ camera. I'm out everyday and rarely take any pics. I think he's out so much that is really not a big event to him.

Here is a link to my pictures from my January 2007 J-Hole trip..including some from Grand Targhee..

You have to register but it only takes a second.

Taking pictures on a ski trip are a pain..especially if it's below zero..the battery dies quick and I hate taking my gloves off..and constantly opening my jacket pocket..I feel like I'm a good writer and a lousy photographer. I've been to Jackson Hole for 5 trips so far and I only took pictures on two of them. I really don't like to stop when I ski..it cuts into my mad steezy vert.

I'm not trying to avoid..I was in Vermont two weekends in November and announced my plans for both trips..I know you still hold a grudge because I wasn't at Hunter in mid December but it was bonus day at my work..my favorite day of the year.

I don't take pictures. I'm sure he makes good turns. Don't really care.

I need to practice my power-wedge/turkey tuck

 

[marcski]

I don't take that many pics....I'd rather live in the moment then and there. I do take a few though....(my new avatar is from Alta last month).

Regardless...one has nothing to do with the other. I'd say he is probably pretty good..but who really cares. He obviously has fun skiing and getting out there...that's what really matters.

 

[awf170]

Well this is no fun... you guys aren't supposed to actually have a serious conversation. You either have to argue or make fun of GSS. Way to let me down.:roll:;-)

 

[severine]

I hate to say it, but pictures don't necessarily mean a thing. I ski and unless I'm skiing with Brian, I don't take any pictures. No need. I imagine if I logged the # of days GSS did, I would find even less of a reason to. For me, pics are the novelty (like the first time I went to MRG). There's no reason for me to take pics over and over again of the same ole stuff.

GSS - Why don't you take some spring time off and meet up with all of us at the Sugarbush/MRG trip at the end of next month? Then you can meet a bunch of us and put an end to the speculation, too.
