ahh, it's not so bad. I like the seasons. What's left of them anyways (damn global warming) I'm right by the beach and only a few hours from some decent skiing. All in all, not too shabby

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum...

Howdy folks...

funny story about how I wound up here at Alpinezone. if you go to the "Daring to Ice Climb" you'll see part of it. let me explain.

even though I'm an active snowboarder, and spend all my alternate fridays off on the local eastern MA slopes ( can anybody tell what chairlift I photographed my shadow from in my profile?), my main focus in sports is rockclimbing. back in january, a guy posting on NEclimbs.com (goes by "bristolpipe" there) com got a huge hair accross is bum about me and began going around to various other climbing related sites posting blatant cut-and-pastes of my posts on rockclimbing.com and NEclimbs.com using usernames very similiar to mine. so far the count of sites, including Alpinezone is up to 5. it's good to want to achieve, I guess...

also about that time I started getting emails in my rockclimbing.com email box from alpinezone...which of course I ditched, as spam, not having signed up here on my own.

anyway, this morning, doing a google search of "robbovious" I was directed to the "Daring to Ice Climb" thread...imagine my sursprise!!! well, whadayaknow? so THAT'S why I've been getting those e-mails!

Seems like a whole lotta drama, the above hassle, eh? yeah, creeps me out a little bit, beiong stalked and impersonatedon all these other sites, but honestly, I'm kinda happy to have found this place, since I am an active snowboarder an do like getting around to the slopes whenever time permits, and enjoy talking about it as well.

so um, robbovious/bristolpipe/piton/lionel heath/smeagol, uh, thanks, I guess...

see you folks round the boards.

;-)

newest newb reporting for duty!

i'm a marylander that skied quite a bit through high school and college (late 80s/early 90s) -- mostly in PA and VT, and some in NY. then i got married and had kids and didn't ski for nearly 10 years. got back on skis last year with the family (kids are 5 & 7) for a couple of trips to liberty. kids enjoyed it, so we plunked down the cash this past fall an completely geared-out everyone!

we've made 8 trips to liberty this year; going to blue knob this weekend and looking for someplace in VT for easter weekend...maybe magic?

thanks for having me...

Marc's into farm animals. He's just jealous that he can't get it on with people



Nice Marc, way to scare-off teh no0bs.

hahaha. if he's taking the piss, that's cool...i can laugh at pedo jokes just as easily as the next guy. i've been on enough forums to handle that.

on the other hand, if he's just a pr1ck...

i'll just keep my mouth shut for a while until i get a better feel for the vibe here.

Nah.. Marc's okay. There aren't any real trolls around here.

'sides, I think that was aimed more at me than you.

Hey Hey

Whats up everyone!?!?! I'm new to the site but already I love what I've seen! I've been riding for 5 seasons now and only ride at Magic in south londonderry VT. I'm almost 15 and can't wait to move up there when I'm older, I love it there, it's my second home! My first home is in MA, close to the Enfield and East Longmeadow lines.

I love music and love to chanel my energy through my music and how I ride. Some people say I'm crazy when I ride and they would never ride how I ride on what I ride, so I guess you could say I'm a little nuts. I had my first encounter with woods over February break and it wasn't the best. I wasn't trying to do woods i just ended up in them off the side of the trail and killed my foot, but thats not going to stop me.

:snow:

Got my first real pow riding last weekend and what a blast! just need to figure out how to add pictures to my posts. Well thats a little about me, if you have any good music or your going to be comming to Magic and want a "guide" just let me know!

P.S. whats up with everyone hatin' on Marc?

Welcome to the forums snow*angel! Thanks for the intro. Magic is a great place to call your home mountain.

Adding pics is easy. Just upload them to our Gallery. Once you do that you'll see the code needed to include them in a post under the picture while viewing the full size version. It'll be a line that looks similar to this:

Don't worry about Marc, it's all in good fun... Mostly... ;)
