Should I hold an extreme skiing clinic this year, at Killington?

riiiiight

shouldn't you be off whipping your junk out and bragging over on TGR or something?

May you have a great season. One with numerous incidents of snowboarders cutting you off.

FYI - fact isn't bragging. It's all ticketed and paid. Come along if you can miss an Okemo day

Careful what you wish for - Karma's a bitch. I would say it's really rude to wish ill on others, but apparently Mr. Deadhead mod seems to think it's cool. Wow, class act.

So, classy is having a history of ragging on Eastern Mountains, their skiers as well as snowboarders? I'll take classless thanks.

Half the stuff on Deaheads list is more challenging than Steamboat or Flail IMHO. Not that I don't like Steamboat (I would rather ski just about anywhere in Colorado than Vail) but there is nothing inbounds that scares me even a little.

Damn come to think of it there really isn't much "extreme" skiing in Colorado inbounds except for maybe a couple areas. It's nice here but not "extreme". probably over half the skiers are from Texas/Louisiana/Jersey....not that there is anything wrong with that

 

[eastcoastpowderhound]

Extreme terrain to me are runs like Triple Cliffs on Cody or anywhere in Casper Bowl at Jackson. Man made ice bumps and 5 foot rock booters do not qualify, which is the best you can expect from Devils Fiddle or anywhere else back east. Its just the nature of the game. You guys get "trails" with actual character opposed to our bland wide open boulevards, we get steep and deep.

now that's good terrain. EXTREME terrain...requires ropes and a harness

 

[eastcoastpowderhound]

the entire premise of this thread reeks of an over inflated sense of self importance. From what I've experieced, the best skiers tend to be more modest and low key.

never been but SKI rag had an interesting article about crested butte

Wow.....I think you guys are overreacting a bit. Perhaps extreme is the wrong word. Lets just say...agressive freeskiing.

Perhaps it will be a good opportunity for a-zoners to step up there game a bit, learn some new skills, ski some new terrain, and see if they can actually walk the walk.

I'm sure we can find some technically challenging terrain for people. Heh.

Go for it! Me? I've never claimed to "walk the walk." I ski for fun, it's not about challenge anymore. My cliff-huckin' days are over. I'll ski anywhere, anytime, but at my advanced geriatric age, I'm aiming to preserve my body at an age when many of my peers have already blown out their knees and hung up the skis.
Plenty of young-uns here to take up the challenge!

That's 4 minutes I'll never get back.

Yes, exactly.

I think its walk the talk there big fella. I will skip the lessons but should you ever come across to the olympic mountain I will be happy to show you around.

I thought it was pretty clear that you were joking with the use of the word extreme... apparently it wasn't that clear to some.

I would definitely try to show up for the 'clinic' if it happens. I got a pass for Killington this year so I will be there most likely anyways.

Many members here do it almost every time they go to meet new people to ski with or alert other ski buddies of their plans as they might be similar.

I don't really understand your need to host a clinic or a ski offs. Why not just invite people to ski with you in stead of pushing your chest out in a way to elevate yourself above others?

I know I myself enjoy skiing with all ability levels. I'll spend a day with skiers of lesser ability hitting groomers with runs here and there off in terrain I find more interesting. I'll spend a day skiing bumps with folks who like to do that most. I definitely enjoy skiing with people who are better than I am and if I'm struggling with a particular aspect of my skiing, I might ask for a pointer here or there. I'm also always willing to offer up pointers to those who ask.

Instead of anointing yourself, why not just go out and enjoy the sport with new people. You maybe good, but there will always be others that even you can learn from.

Because, that would be lame.
