Ooh poor planning. Gotta have your kids after ski season.

Yeah, I hope to plan the second better! She wants the second in May, this way her maternity will fall into summer vacation.

I will be concentrating on the technique of managing an infant, wife and a skiing addiction...

Congratulations!!!! :beer: Actually, having an infant is pretty easy during ski season. It's when they're crawling and walking that you start to have problems. :lol: Our first was born in mid-June, the second in late May. Nice time of year to be having kids...just before it gets hot.

Best wishes!

When I was at UVM..alot of people were into rap...there were alot more hippies when I began in 1997 than when I graduated in 2001. I was never a hippie but I grew my hair and beard long senior year..lol..so I looked like one..

Touch of Gray?

Touch of Gray?

Yeah, that's it. See, I know nothing about the Dead. :dunce:

Getting back to skiing... my goal for the year is to develop an actual "technique" in the moguls as apposed to just attempting to get down them without landing on my face (a technique, as you can tell by my profile image, I failed to master this past season). I had a difficult time progressing last year mostly due to the excrutiating and often times distracting pain in my back all winter and the anxiety associated with not wanting to end up bedridden for several months. The majority of this season will likely be dedicated to (attempting to) develop some form within the bumps without throwing said back out again and, with some luck and a little elbow grease, perhaps pick up a few style points along the way.

:lol:

IF I can figure out bumps a little bit, I may enter one of the comps. Probably the later one. But I'm sure MRGisevil could kick my ass, technique improvements or not!
