I cant believe this guy, with a PhD, has a job researching the progression of moguls. I mean he must have his job licked to be able to get away with that project. Ok, I'm jealous

Cool, I never thought of if before, but it makes sense when you think about it. I gotta become a scientist if this is the kind of thing they study! :spread:

Here's something that's on most of our mines right now. Got this from Epic and the other link does the explanation. One of those never thought about it ..... but makes sense.

There is alot of thinking going on over at Epic...I smell wood burning every time I read a thread from over there.

The last one was the thread about bump skiing and extention/absorption being like riding a bicycle backwards. Maybe this explains why the bumps go uphill?

While the time lapse photography is cool, I just don't think about stuff like this when I'm skiing. I don't ski my best when I'm overthinking things.

I know what you mean, people seem get uptight on a drop of a dime, too much at stake in terms of reputation. But some are thought provoking like the backward bicycle thread.

I'm like you, if I think to much it falls apart. Overthinking comes in when I wait in line or driving back home.

It's even cooler to see the progression of the shadows acros the slope- first pictures are totally in shadow, last ones not at all. The Sun- She moves!

Seriously. This is clear, conclusive evidence that the sun rotates around the Earth. I don't know what idiots thought it was the other way around.
