I'm feeling vulnerable lately. :razz:

not sure what you mean by under the wrist pole plant.

When I am moving quick and start to get tired I will flip the pole under and out in front of me rather than reaching out from over the top. That what it looks like you are doing.

Hey Now. I have never been banned from any forums in my life. take that back. Greg can verify.

Ghosty cant play anymore. Him and Greg broke up

TJ is all right. He's just one of those grumpy ADKers with a big ole chip on his shoulder, that's all.

Maybe I can create an official shit talkin' forum and invite banned members back to participate there? Call it "Free for All" or something... :lol:

No...it's all about the terrain that other great skiers before you were able to ski.
Lol, I guess you're referring to me since the BC skier is the one who looks for that gnarly untracked terrain before all the gapers start making safety humps all over it ;)

I think I get it now why you guys go off and hide in the BC. So nobody can see you struggle down that gnarly terrain...

I was banned from the Ski Vermont Discussion list in 1999..I think I'm the only person who was ever banned from the site. Over on PASR I've been given a few timeouts..lol

But when you hear that scraping sound coming up on you fast from behind it has to make to think a little bit ... I always like to throw in a "Oh God.. I can't stop" too...

Thats why I stay in the bumps. Any skiers and boarder going out of control in thoses trails will end up landing on their @ss.

At Wachusetts it's the safest place to be!

10th mountain trail, the seed formation is lousy but it keeps the gapers away if you pick a line in the middle or skier's left.

Again, when are you coming up fast from behind? If I'm not on a bump run my skis are basically headed straight towards the nearest lift that'll get me too one.

Oh, and another thing. We bumpers can turn and work A&E at the same time. You BC turn earners just turn. Learn how to multitask, and you might actually start enjoying skiing enough to leave hiking for the summer months, where it should be kept instead of polluting the ski season.

Polluting?:dunce:

Edit-I guess hiking, dealing with skins, testing snowpack, avoiding natural obstacles, skiing pow, crud, ice, bare patches, sun cups aren't multitasking. mmmmkay.

My bump skills are crap compared with many on this board but I can do o.k. like I said skiing nothing but bumps all day bores the hell out of me. If that's where the best snow is then bring it but wandering around and checking out different stuff is the best part to me.
