I vote sticker...although the "arm band" thing (vs sewn-on patch) could be cool.

I'd opt for the helmet-mounted sticker. I already where my Wa season pass on an arm band. That lanyard thingy it comes with is a NO GO.

Some time ago, someone had a thread about a sticker for the car...bumper or rear-window (I forget). Where'd that one end up?

I think a sticker is great, people who wear helmets can put them on there, otherwise on your board or ski. It won't look gaper at all, people will just think its a ski shop or something, ha.

Sticker for sure. I don't want to iron on or sew something to my ski jacket.

Sticker is cool . . . something inconspicuous, maybe behind the heelpiece . . . It has to be an "in the know" kind of thing . . .

Don't get me wrong, I like the site, but huge internet ads on one's equipment might push people into the gaper category.

You guys don't know about the secret AZ belly-flop maneuver that you're supposed to do at least once a run, preferably in view of a chair lift, so that other AZer's can spot you?

BTW, I have one of the afore-mentioned AZ decals, but there's no space on my helmet big enough to fit it. Too many vent holes. Guess it's time for a new helmet. ;)

My suggestion for this season is for more members to take advantage of the T&E forum. Anyone can propose a gathering. If you're skiing somewhere and feel like meeting up with some AZers, just start a new thread there. Usually what happens is a time and place to meet is determined and I've at times PM'd a photo of myself so people know who they're looking for. I know this doesn't address identifying the random AZer on the hill, but I'm not sure how often that happens anyway.

If I'm meeting someone, I just tell them to watch for all the people screaming and head towards whatever everyone else is running from.

I wouldn't affix that to the side of my toilet...

BTW, those tree branches make it look like you have some crazy hair thing going on there... ;)

Those aren't branches. Its all part of a bad comb over... ;-) I want three of those AZ decals andy.
