The absolute best mountain anywhere, ever, is always the one I'm holding a lift ticket for at that moment.

Any other statement is merely commentary.

i mean no offense to anyone, and maybe i'm wrong, but there is a touch of comedic genius working here. FHW is just sucking people in. Like a giant hoover.

damn we do need some snow fast though.

Effective comeback... :roll: Yup: owned....your non-response just proved it.

What do you want me to say? If I rip that lil' douchebag like I really want to you're just gonna ban me. Besides, his "arguement" (sic) is flawed. The 'dacks have about 5 or 6 ski areas. Vermont has 10,000,000. WF is better than all but 5 of those 10,000,000. For that matter, so is Gore.

I get it. Some call them trolls.

You want to rip him? What the hell does that mean? I guess you really are pissed you just got out-debated if that's the best you can come up with.

10,000,000, huh? :roll: Wow. Another effective point. Try 17. Out of the 5 ski areas technically in the ADKs, Gore and Whiteface are the only two that could possibly challenge VT resorts, and as Steve pointed out, you yourself said 4 of them are better than the mighty Whiteface. Backtracking now...?

I look forward to skiing with you one day FHW. It'll be interesting to see if your skills back up your mouth. :flame:

Greg - That guy rivercoil is.....not my cup of tea. (I'm being charitable here-help me out) That's why I ignored his post and I try to ignore all his posts. I'm not "pissed" and he didn't "out debate" me but if you think so we can leave it there.

BTW, I've never claimed to be a great skier. I've never even claimed to be a good skier. And I never would. Not my style. Not to mention that I'm NOT a great skier. There is a person on this board however who describes himself as an "expert" skier. He also posts video of himself skiing sometimes and let's just say there's a little disconnect there. And besides, I know several "expert" skiers. They never describe themselves publicly as expert skiers. Ever.

Try to have a nice day. I've done enough damage in here for one day.

Willy just got owned again! :lol:

You're gonna stir the pot and then bow out like this? Lame.

Well, I've skied with Steve on a few occassions and he's a damn good skier, FWIW. It's his prerogative if he wants to label himself an expert. His skills are certainly up there so I don't think he's too off-base even if someone finds flaws in his technique. There have been a few discussions on here about how do you actually define an "expert". I likely will never be one by some standards (big hucks, nailing park elements). I know where you're coming from though. Accordinging to a few people, I tend to radically understimate my own skills; I'm naturally very self-critical. It keeps me humble.

I usually have nice days. Damage? Hardly. I knew you were just baiting... :beer:

gotta agree with that one. that last night at sundown was cracking me up. You were nailing runs and kept saying you felt way off.

Hmmf. I guess it's a good problem to have...

I was indeed feeling off that night. Compare that to a run I had on my second to last day at the Bush on a seeded course on Spring Fling where I just knew I effin nailed it. Hadn't felt A&E that pronounced before; tight stance, just pounding down the whole thing. Boy, did that feel awesome. Crap, Pat. Now you really got me jonesin'.... :???:

Wow....this thread really has the PRVTBF's....

filling the sky. They're beautiful !

 

[2knees]

help an ignorant brother out. what's prvtbf????? is that like pro form. lol

 

[smootharc]

That didn't take long....

help an ignorant brother out. what's prvtbf????? is that like pro form. lol

And a PRVTBF is something I made up in my very own head just a few minutes ago after reading the last few pages of this unique thread. I do not claim to be a rocket scientist.

So here goes....a PRVTBF is a "Puss Rocket Volley Thrown By Friends". Sort of a twisted take on good natured ribbing....which I'm hoping this thread, deep down, really is.

that pretty well describes it i think.

Oh yeah, I can feel the love.

 

[Birdman829]

I wouldn't really call them mountains, more like hills except for Mt. Mansfield, Jay Peak, and Camels Hump. Now, New Hampshire on the other hand, those are some real mountains...

Not many of which are actually skied on.....Cannon and Wildcat are the only areas in NH with decently high peaks.

Riv, Im with Willy on this one, only Im going to take it one step further. Whiteface is better than any VT mt other than Stowe. Jay while they get the snow has shitty on piste terrain and horrendous flats. I havent been to the Bush, but it sounds like outside of Castlerock, doesnt offer that much either. Castlerock also sounds like an area similar to the slides that is good only when its really got alot of snow. I ride so I havent been to MRG, but frankly I want to hike just to piss em off. Nothing in Maine other than the loaf compares, and Id argue that Whiteface has better terrain.

 

[AdironRider]

Plus anyone who talks about how hes raced, is an expert, and will ride anything in the backcountry sounds like an elitist tool. But thats just my opinion.
