Can GSS ski?

[deadheadskier]

I would bet he is a very good skier. Anyone who spends as much time on the snow as he does for as long as he has is probably pretty darn good unless they were born with two left feet. Like with all of us, there are probably aspects of the sport that he is very good at and other areas that he has his deficiencies.

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.

It's a possibility..I haven't skied Sugarbush since 2005..

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

What he said...

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

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.

Well said.

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:;-)

Austin trolling, that's a new role for you isn't it?

My bet is that he decent on the groomers but sucks at everything else.




Lets hear it...

I will take that bet. grilled cheese has to be good, probably better than most on this board

Pictures mean everything to me. To be honest, I originally joined this group to get a handle on the real ski conditions, and to return the favor, I take pictures not for myself but for others looking for industrial espionage. I joined BBS and usegroups back in the days of text only/storage-too-expensive-to-store-images era. We relied on text. While the text reports were a big improvement over resort-reports, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What one thinks is awesome, another thinks is terrifying another thinks is wimpy. I don't take pics for memories or to brag. I take pics for others on this forum who want to check out what is going on up north, so they can make their own choices. I hope that others will return the favor.

I have made several trip decisions based on the reports and photos I've seen on this forum from just a day or two earlier.

IF GSS is real --FANTASTIC !!

IF NOT,--He surely lives a RICH fantasy life>

My bet :--He CAN ski reasonably well but perhaps communicates even better. After all he did take that seminar is HOW to Deal With Difficult People -- like us AZ-ers

 

[Grassi21]

I sure do hope he can rip. If not, who will I look up to? I would be crestfallen.

 

[2knees]

If not, who will I look up to?

Brian. I think he has about 4 inches on you.

 

[Marc]

Brian. I think he has about 4 inches on you.

I don't want to know how you know that, but TMI regardless.

 

[Grassi21]

Brian. I think he has about 4 inches on you.

I look up to everyone (including my wife). And Brian has more than 4 inches on me. Probably more like 5 or 6.

I left the door WIDE open with that one. shame on me.

 

[Grassi21]

I left the door WIDE open with that one. shame on me.

Don't sweat it. Marc always leaves the backdoor open...

We would expect nothing else from a guy with a giant wiener as his avatar...

Well the Dealing with Difficult People seminar was very helpful...:flame::flame::flame::flame::flame::flame::flame:

Who do you think are the gapers on here, and why? Perhaps we can confirm or deny for you...

I'm not too much older than you. But life sure takes a turn for the better when you stop comparing yourself to other people.

Can you be an online Gaper, but not one on the slopes? It seems he uses the term loosely.
