Forty-one percent of skiers are female

Never said you weren't a charger, it just isn't as apparent in your personality. And as I did say, I haven't skied with any of you, really.

And what can I say, it's a good picture.

Personality can be deceiving. Austin is about as laid back a guy as I've ever met, and he skis totally different. Same with Steve (Riverc0il). Even I ski fairly aggresively providing I'm not too tired, and I don't know if that's all that apparent in my personality.

From my point of view, you're a rabid enthusiast and an aspiring hard charger.
What's really incredible about you is that you're in a category of women who usually let the aspiring hard charger take a back seat to family, but you've found a way to feed the rabid enthusiast in you and go for it. Keep it up Sev, You Rock!

I'm trying to make up for lost time... now if I could stop it with the stupid injuries, that would help!

It would certainly be easier without a 2- and 4-year-old and being primary caregiver to them all day (and now in school full-time at night as well). But I love the sport. I'm not as good as those who have been doing it all their lives but I strive to make progress. I got more air than b did last season. If I had more time and someone to watch the kids, I'd be out there more. I do the best I can in balancing everything. I've seen so many women who give it up with kids the ages mine are and I don't want that to happen--I've only just begun!

Your perspective is different. As a single guy who can ski every day and has skied for many years, you wouldn't ski with me. I understand that. Just felt a bit left out in your examining of all the regular female posters.
