Ski-Off Time!

[Greg]

He wants you Greg, not in a bad way, just wants to see what you're all about. He was bummed last season when you had to cancel.

I was bummed too. TJF was very welcoming and I was looking forward to skiing with him and you. Madskier had a great time. That was a tricky domestic play I had to make unfortunately.

There's enough video floating around so my (in)ability shouldn't be much of a secret to anyone. Perhaps I'm one of the arrogant ones he's talking about?

 

[Greg]

I put my money on GSS in that one..whether technical or speed...HPD is like 60..

I'm 54, so there

Even worse that an old man will school you like that, despite the fact that you have logged 364 days, 2 hours, 12 minutes and 4 seconds if ski time for a total of 1,345,689 feet and 9 3/8" of vertical the past three seasons...

Yah, it is decided. Chinese Downhill.

your kiddin right?

 

[eastcoastpowderhound]

your kiddin right?

its the line that the japanese dude says right after Rudy says "Ya, Chineeeze downhill....itz zee only vay" I've watched the movie at least 100 times, used to own it...have half of it memorized but I don't think I've seen it for almost 20 years. I even recorded the soundtrack from the speakers on the tv onto my boombox along with some of the better lines...didn't have iTunes back then...didn't even have CD or DVD players. Wanna hear the opening song...sing it in your best kenny loggins-esque voice:
nothing feels quite like the top of the hill
don't you try to catch me, you never will...
I want it now, I want it bad...don't you see
if you don't start up, you won't catch up
Thats the way its gonna be...
Love starts at the top of the hill

Naked ski off?

I wanna see me vs. Marc. And I can't promise I won't take my ski off and try to stab him with it.

JimG vs. Beetlenut

 

[severine]

Severine v MrsEvil v other skier chicks, the more the better


...I just wanna see a cat fight

Naked ski off?

THey need a little protective wear in the event of a bad fall. Men's boxers and pasties should be adequate and it leaves something for the imagination.

Maybe we could just turn it into a naked wrestle off?


/In jello.

A panties off ski off

I'm away for one afternoon and this is what I return to? :roll:

Besides, I already had my jello in A-basin.

..............................................................

Ski-off.... ummmm.... I'd like to see MR. evil -vs- MRGisevil. She could kick his ass!

I'm also thinking GSS -vs- Greg.

Aww thanks for the shout Carrie! But are you sure you don't want to see me go at Marc with a ski? I think that'd be much more entertaining...

I'd like to see you stab him with your ski.

Greg vs. AndyZee.

On a bump run, naturally.

Seeing as how it's a rule that you can't declare a ski-off with yourself involved (it is a rule, I just made it,) I'll take the honors here:

Marc vs. MRGisevil.

It would actually be a two-part competition, the second part involving designing something that doesn't just stand there.

HPD v. Tin Woodsman.

House takes 20%. Place your bets here.

HPD, guaranteed. I have seen a video of him skiing, he is actually a pretty good skier.

And, I have actually skied with Mr. Woodsman before. He probably doesn't remember me, but I skied with him for a good few hours in VT. I didn't realize he hung out on AZ or that he was abrasive or that he suggested he was hot sh.t.

In person he is a very nice guy and a fine skier. He was skiing his beloved Volkl (CHM) Explosivs and in the conditions that day they weren't making life easy for him. But my money is still with HPD.

 

[Philpug]

I have skied with THE Highway Star, i will take him against most. Like him or not, he can get down the hill.

riverc0il vs. 2knees on Chute at MRG. No speed points. Judging based solely on style and control. Tough call. I'll give the slight edge to 2knees based on mogul proficiency.

Very good skier. The name of his game is control.

I am certainly not going to claim an award for mogul ability and would probably give 2knees the advantage since there are not really any terrain aspects and it is just straight moguls down Chute. But where do you make the comparison? When was the last time you have seen me ski moguls? Let's move it down a few hundred feet to Liftline and take the combined for both segments Move it a little to skier's left into the trees and now we're talking You picked one man's proficiency and another man's specialty. If we are going to ski it off, it needs to involve all aspects of the mountain or at least a representative showing of abilities. Otherwise it isn't a ski off so much as a bump comp.

Ha thats to funny.
You should come over to LP this year.

Steve, oh Steve. Typical over-analyzing things. 2knees is a helluva bump skier. You should sit back and just be happy I consider you in the same league with him on the mogul front...

Seriously, I think you're one of the best all around skiers I know and granted, I haven't skied with you in some time, and I certainly haven't seen you in bumps for any extended period. In fact, I haven't spent all that much time skiing with you on any really technical terrain. I just thought it would be interesting to pit an accomplished all arounder like yourself against a specialist like him.

To that end, I've seen Pat ski Redline on a powder day on skinny bump skis with little trouble so I don't think the competition on the combined Chute/Liftline would be the total blowout you think it would be. Pretty presumptuous of you to take anything away from the man's all mountain skill without even ever seeing him ski, no....?

Come on everybody, let's not take this too seriously. :roll:

 

[riverc0il]

When did I suggest it would be a total blow out? I merely suggested leveling the playing field a bit. Was it presumptious of me to think I was going to get blown away on Chute without ever having seen 2knees ski? Sounds like you are taking it seriously too trying to put words in my mouth suggesting I said it would be a blow out. If I was taking it seriously, why did I bother with two emoticons? Who is over analyzing? Well, we both are now.

Definitely mid-August. I wasn't taking it seriously in my last post. I was taking it quite humorously. Now I am taking it seriously.
