Reasons you started posting on AZ

[hardline]

was thinking about this last night. some of the reasons i started posting after lurking for so long time was due to these people.

GSS: comic relief, always keeps things interesting
JD: his TR's are the tits, they remind why i love the MT mansfield area so much.
Rivercoil: inteligent. always has something good to say

what are your reasons?

Mainly boredom..but I always like writing about skiing with other skiers and riders..

 

[wa-loaf]

I needed to reconnect with the sport after drifting away a bit and wanted find new friends to ski with.

I have very few ski buddies, definitely none that think about it year round everyday like I do. This is basically a good way to shoot the chit with people who have the same if not an even greater passion for the sport than I.

I lost a bet. Ooops that was another issue.

Used to post on PASR. Then found SKI ADK to get some Whiteface stoke and conditions reports. I found the AZ link on that and now post here.

thats a good reason to. none of my friends have the same problem/infection/disease we do.

One of my friends was like...wow GSS..you must have skied like 20 times this past winter because everyday I talked to him I was on my way back from skiing...I was like.."try 98"..and that was only my 3rd best season..year it's a disease but a good one..every ski season is better than the last..maybe not in days or powder days but skiing is just so much fun..

Well I've only played golf three times so far this summer. The thing is that skiing wouldn't get in the way of a relationship. On the weekends when I ski locally..I'm done by Noon..because I start at 7:30AM..and during the week I can ski a few hours afterwork and be back for a late dinner. I secretly want to visit Jamaica, Mexico and Costa Rica so my next serious girlfriend is going to luck out and get to visit one or all of those places with me..then she won't mind when I dissapear for a week and a half and go to Jackson Hole..

i said she was a little put off. she hasn't gone anywhere. the real problem is the girl realizes that she isn't number 1. nobody likes being number 2.

Number 2's eventually get dumped

Number 2's eventually get dumped

Wow that is a great play on words..or as scrabble lovers call a double entendre..

Started visiting after learning about the Sundown bump comp this year, seemed like a decent group. Meeting a bunch of people at the comp seemed to confirm this.

Plus, the whole actually getting to know people who ski thing. It's pretty much been an individual sport for me over the last couple of years, but not really by choice.

Hmmm....because I got a lifetime ban from the ski message board I helped found four years ago after a tool took it over. And even though I loved our Greg, AZ Greg skis a lot and is cool because he didn't feel the need to tell me to behave on here and not talk about my bad times teaching at H*nter. So, even though AZ Greg is a stuck up CT fancy pants, he seems like an awesome mofo.

But I miss TP4 and Mark, though. I hope they take a break from man-love cuddle fests and drop in here next winter once in a while.

When EpicSki went down, I registered on AZ to inform about the outage. By the time I completed registration, EpicSki was back, up and running, so I sat on it for a bit. Then one day I just got the urge, and you all have made this Midwesterner feel very welcome in your East Coast Vibe!

And we're glad to have you! :beer:

Did I respond to this yet?

I started posting in Feb 2004 because that was my first year skiing. I was hungry for any info, tips, whatever on skiing at the time. And while I joined epic first, I found it to be too technical for me. I liked the vibe I found here instead.

I wandered away over the years when I had 2 kids, but found my way back to AZ last fall. Glad I'm back! Great group of people, friendly and funny, and I've found some wonderful ski buddies thanks to this board.

Cross posts endorsements on the Sunday River board got me lurking. The community rapport keeps me coming back .
