[Npage148]

Im nate and im 22 years old. I grew up in galway (15min outside saratoga, NY) its a little podunk town. Right now im going to school at the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy. Ill graduate in may 07 with my Pharm D, but im considering getting my PhD in pharm science or pharmacology. After graduation, im moving to northern vermont to a great rural town where i can have my privacy. Im the 3rd oldest of alot of kids in a rather crazy extended family. I work at Rite Aid. Ive been dating a girl from hs for the last 4 years and prob be married within the next year. She graduating from NYU this summer in comp lit, she might do law school someplace afterwards.

I do alot of outdoor stuff, Mostly longer enduracnce stuff. I like to hike alot and do long bicycling road rides. But i mostly run. Id like to do some more trail running and maybe a trail marathon if i can find time to train for it. Ive snowboarded for 8 years or so and maybe get in 25 days a season. I pretty much free ride around. A little bit of everything. Thats about it, im pretty boring. Run, school, work snowboard

 

[mattchuck2]

My name's Matt. I'm 25. I'm a geologist with an environmental consulting firm in Albany. I was born in Albany, raised in Clifton Park, NY. Graduated from Shenendehowa High School. Went to college at Colby, in Waterville, Maine.

I still live in Clifton Park, but I live with my girlfriend (of 3 years) now in an apartment, saving up for a house further north. My parents have a lakehouse by Saranac Lake, and my girlfriend's parents have a condo near Gore, so we ski every weekend during the winter.

We hike during the summer - did Marcy this year - and play golf (when we can afford it).

Uhhh . . that's about it. My favorite beer is Lake Placid's Forstbite Ale. That's right, Frostbite over Ubu. Always liked good Cascade hops (Sierra Nevada, etc.)

[LVNLARG]

OK, I'll play. I'm LVNLARG (stolen from the plate on my Suburban < AZ members feel free to leave me a windshield wiper "hi" note if you spot it in a New England parking lot :wink: ) AKA J.P., 32 (33 in less than too weeks ), male, single, CANADIAN and from Truro N.S (1 hour nort of Halifax). I think I may be the only Canadian on here. I therefore already seem to be being pummeled about Canadian beer and the like (Hey...I though political debates weren't allowed?) :x

Refreshments necessary after a long day at the loaf

Cape Breton Highlands... People actually come from Texas...never mind New England to see them


I started skiing around 4 or 5 when my parents bought me some combi XC/downhill skis with beartraps for Xmas. I skied the HELL out of those skis. I had a run packed...even though I didn't know what a packed run was. I'm not sure.. but I think it was later that same winter my dad announced one sunny afternoon (as I was skiing down the yard) that he was taking me to Wentworth. I didn't even know what Wentworth was... but I was told it was for skiing...and if it was for skiing...well..maybe I could be persuaded to leave my backyard paradise. :lol: Skied and raced at that hill all the way up to nat team entry level. While growing up I also built a rather elaborate ski hill in the back yard/field. "Sunrise Valley" was helped along by my buddy Ryan who got one of the first snowboards and was the only guy I knew with an ATV..lol. It had 2 faces...6 definable trails, a lodge (Small shack..lol), groomer (ATV pulling a piece of culvert followed by a powdermaker (heavy board with lots of nails..lol)) and 5 light posts made out of huge 2x4's on the main trail for after school night skiing. We even had a pond and made "snow" ...although due to lack of an air compressor our snow looked a lot like that produced by Wentworth...lol. The key to our long lasting base in the end was massive snow moving operations..by hand..lol. Later on in life (when I could afford to buy a decent size air compressor just for something to do) I actually built a snowgun and made a 30 foot pile of snow in my backyard to prove to myself I could do something I considered myself to have "failed" at. It stuck around a good month after all other sign of snow was gone. I think they still call me the snow guy around here...

Me taking some air ..around Age 15... "Sunrise Valley"

My buddy Ryan setting out to groom the lower west face of "Sunrise Valley"

A snow gun built by me that I sure could have used at "Sunrise Valley" 15 years earlier :-?

At 19 I worked my only full time year in the ski industry as a full time instructor/coach at the hill. I was also the first snowboard instructor in the province that year due to the fact I was the only instructor who's sponsor (at the time K2) sent him a snowboard..lol. I wasn't very good at it, didn't like it, and dreaded having to give those lessons for which I had received no training. I did however look like a supercool snowboard instructor in the brochure the next year with my big ass Oakly eyeshades on..lol. That one winter "working" in the ski industry taught me that riches were not to be found in the biz as building roads in the summer made me feel like a millionaire in comparison

It takes a Skier to make a snowboarder look cool 8)

My "real" job ended up being a business owner in the end...deriving from my interest in music/nightclubs. My day business of running a small PA equipment renting/installation and sales company lead to me being a manufacturer/distributor of the same. I now have a couple factories in China making products for my brands. My night job of mobile DJ lead to professional club dj...then to nightclub manager..then owner. Thank god I had another interest other than skiing..lol :lol:

I'm pretty sure I do not want to live in Nova Scotia 365 days a year. I'm contemplating buying a house on the outskirts of Calgary to live in for the winter so I would have some premo ski resorts to choose from. Calgary would also serve as a good western distribution point for my company so I currently travel there quite a bit to ski and look at properties (so I can write the ski trips off.. :lol: ) :wink:

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I'm 29 years old..I've been skiing for nearly 2 decades. I live in Allentown Pennsylvania where I grew up. I went to the University of Vermont where I received a degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. After college I worked for Merrill Lynch for about a year..then spent a summer living in Maine followed by 18 months living in Bozeman MT where I skied tons of cold smoke powder at Bridger Bowl. For the past 4 years, I've been working for my Dads memorial company. I'm mainly involved with sales and marketing but I also perform general office duties including answering the phone, filing, updating the database and accounts receivables. When another set of hands is needed for larger jobs, I help with deliveries..usually about one day per week.

I like to travel..I have spent a good amount of time in Europe and have visited Bermuda, California, Canada and Hawaii. I use most of my vacation time during the ski season and my two favorite places to ski are Stowe and Jackson Hole. I'm currently single and live alone. When I find another girlfriend..I'd like to visit Costa Rica and Jamaica with her..they're two non-skiing destinations I want to visit but can't imagine going to either place alone or with a buddy.

I do most of my local skiing at Blue mountain which is 18 miles from where I live. Winter is our slow time of the year at work and I bring my ski clothes to work..I often get out of work between 3-3:30PM during the ski season so I can be making turns by 4PM. In my mind the best cure for the Mondays is skiing, I sometimes do Thursday night Nastar which is humbling..Aside from skiing powder and getting mad steezy air...I like to ski fast..

Well that's who I am..
