2 things

1. "Personal" is just that and what a person chooses to do with his/her PM, IMHO, would be up to them.

2. Re-read HPD's original post and tell me where he was being a troll. To me the thread started out interesting (i gave what info i had) and was something to talk about other than bumps.

I don't care that you post a PM in which I call you a little bitch for acting tough by piling on in a thread. Internet bully? Pfffttt...you, dude, come off as that kid standing next to a fight just waiting for the chance to kick whomever is on the ground.

As a reminder, this is what I posted that turned so many of you hostile: "Hmmm...I'd say there were more sh*tty skiers at WF than at Elk on a typical weekend....maybe 7000 more? Was your point to quality or quantity? I tried to answer both. Last time we raced at WF, someone stole one of the kid's skis. Locals, I guess. But that happens here, too."

Man, talk about sensitive! I'm not an Elk fan and I'm not a WF fan. I was saying, in a flippant way, that where you ski doesn't make you a great skier. In fact, my vote for the greatest non-pro/non-FIS skier in the entire Northeast lives in Reading, PA...anyone here ever raced Bernie?

Oh, and jeez dmc, weren't these your rules on your old, dead MB?

- Please, no flames or battles!
- Please show respect to individuals by showing tolerance!
(If you don't have something nice to say - just blow off the thread!)
- Please ignore trolls from other Mountains.
- Remember - some things are better said in person or via Email.

Last thing: yeah I have an opinion about steroids ruining baseball, people who sit down next to you and light cigarettes (something that kills people), and management of a ski area that didn't want bad press for stolen skis...other people on this MB rag about a thousand things...but a core group here wants me to f*ck off...since it includes the owner, I'll go ahead and quit posting. I believe in skiing small hills--as well big ones--and hangin' with people who don't thrive in circle jerk attacks to make themselves feel tough. Angry man? Jeez, this core group was too busy screaming to see who were the angry ones.

So smoke away. Flick your butts at who you want. Root for cheaters. Hate on small hills. Be understanding of ski thieves. And when some odd guy uses your MB for a ski date, make sure to turn on him and beat him to death instead of finding it funny and seeing if he ended up with a fat chick with an awesome personality.

F*cking haters, man.

^ hahaha good ole pennsyltucky assy testoterone!

oh and i prefer blue - best balance of terrain, snowmaking, grooming, and it happens to be the closest to home. i haven't skiid elk in years and don't bother due to snowmaking. its a bit of a hall from anywhere and if i'm in the car packed with 3 kids i figure i might as well make sure the ipods and ds's are fully charge and hit ny or southern vt. it does ski and have a vibe - maybe its the slow lifts that make everyone laid back - like greek peak but i like greek way better.

for a family i think all the pokey places experience is pretty much the same although i haven't skiid sno

Oh, the irony.

Ski-9's favorite hill, Sno Mtn, had an incident where police and fire crews and ambulances were dispatched for a lift that stopped working for 40 minutes this weekend. Luckily no injuries. Newspaper Link (scroll to bottom). The scuttlebutt I heard from the locals was "you want to spend money on maintenance before this sort of thing happens...". I wish Ski-9 was still here to give us his spin on what really happened.
