Mogul skis! You guys who bust out the "fat" skis when there is 6" of cut up snow in ice bumps crack me up... :lol:
It's like 15 miles from Simsbury to Sundown. You gotta give it a shot. Should be good all week. What day and what time are you thinking?
You're just jealous because you don't have any "fat" skis... :roll:
My fat skis are the coolest because they have a picture of Budha and a scantly clad lady. My son pointed at the woman on my skis last night and said Mama... :blink:

Those are tight. Me like.
Greg was there for this one... An older gentleman asked me about the Gotamas on the lift line. He asked if the skis were Chinese or Japanese. I had to point out the Volkl logos for him to believe me.

My fat skis are cooler. They have wood showing.

I honestly would not pick a ski based on graphics, but it's supposed to be an awesome advanced ski and the graphics certainly help. Then again, I like that Asian-influence as well as what Dynastar did a couple years ago with the Indian-influence in their She's Trouble and She's Trouble BC skis:

I'm planning on taking the Wateas out for about an hour, just to get a feel for them in soft snow. Probably won't even touch the bumps with 'em. Then switch to the Twisters for the bumps, and a few runs down Stinger.

Is it just me, or is the mounting point on the She's Trouble way too far back? Especially for a park ski.I honestly would not pick a ski based on graphics, but it's supposed to be an awesome advanced ski and the graphics certainly help.

Women have a different center of gravity than men. And there are 2 mounting points on those skis: center (for park) and back for all mountain. The BC version is 92mm waist so I don't know how much "park" ski it is versus all mountain.
I so want to go ski today!!!!!!!!!

My Celebrities (90mm waist) have that, too! Well, a partly-painted over woodgrain. Is this a theme? :lol:

Sunday?
I was thinking the first of maybe a couple Gunbarrel gatherings this month on Sunday. Saturday should be warm too which will let the bumps get skied in. Maybe a shower Saturday night and temps well into the 50's on Sunday. Slush explosions! I could be there between noon and 1 pm. If there is enough interest from those needing lift tickets, I can work on a group rate.
Roll call:

Please add the number of lift tickets you would need after your name.
