New Member Introductions Thread

[bvibert]

I am new to blogs, is this the correct page to make comments. I think this is the page for new members?

thank you if you can inform me where to go in your form if elsewhere.

I moved all your posts regarding your skis to the thread that we have going in the Gear and Equipment forum, here:

http://forums.alpinezone.com/54186-333-skis.html

I think they'll get more exposure there. Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions with such detail. I definitely like the sounds of your operation.

Hi,

I grew up skiing in the Catskills but lived most of my life in California and ski mostly at Squaw and Mammoth now. Used to compete in mogul skiing. I'm currently working for The Ski Channel. Since we're based in Los Angeles, we have somewhat of a west coast inclination in our content. I thought I'd join this forum to get a better scoop on the eastern riding perspective. So far the lurking has been insightful. Feel free to contact me if you want to share your experiences. Thanks.

Work on getting the Ski Channel on Cablevision. I'd love to see it. Universal Sports Network was awesome and amazing during ski season. I'm already looking forward to next season and watching the races again. I'd love to see even more ski and related winter alternative or "extreme" sports programming.

Groomers are those things I make all night long, and avoid all day long!

We're very close to getting on board with them. It would help if subscribers to cablevision would lobby on their end to get the channel. Please email me privately if you'd like to find out how to do this. Also check out the shows currently on the channel...http://www.theskichannel.com/shows/

Howdy all - You've got a great site here so thought I'd jump on in. I'm a 45 yy ski bum, trapped in a suit, trapped in NJ with four daughters and the Mrs. Thankfully I can pull off about 50 + days a year skiing the northeast -(with an occasional mid west run) most favorite being the "Bush". Been skiing for the last 42 years, and fortunately only one daughter has defected to the dark side. Enjoy skiing the trees, but most happy at mach 2, or playing in the bumps!

 

[bvibert]

Welcome to the forums flash. Nice introduction.

Don't mention bumps though, people get a little uppity about that around here.

 

[flash]

Yeah, what's up with that?

 

[billski]

Yeah, what's up with that?

Welcome! :beer:

Can I have some of your 50+ days?? :-o

I see it as good-nature ribbing. I don't think anyone takes it personally.

Some people are just jealous that they can't ski them, I guess.

It's all mind over mogul. I've been fortunate enough to have been skiing bumps since I was 5, but those folks just coming into the sport should not be intimidated. Nor should they be pressured into a mogul field. As long as your having fun!! If someone wants to ski them - I know some awesome instructors who would love to share their knowledge and technical aspects of bump runs!

Hi All,
Just signed up and thought I'd say "Hi" from the Catskills of NY. I have been skiing for a bit over 20 years, mostly in the northeast with an occasional trip out west. I grew up skiing at Gore (still my favorite thanks to some great backcountry skiing) and working at a ski shop; then moved on to Whiteface while in college (at Clarkson University). Now I spend most of my time at Belleayre in the Catskills where I am a volunteer ski patroller (since 2003).

In the summer I spend much of my time hiking and geocaching with my wife and 2 1/2 year old son. I also have a MS degree from RPI and work at IBM (if it weren't for this job, I'd be someplace with bigger mountains :wink.

Hopefully I'll be able to contribute and learn a thing or two here.

Happy trails.
