I've been coming to the realization that my season has been over before it even started. Just hasn't been right without my partner, even when I get out, I usually ski couple of hours, half day tops. Right now, although it doesn't look too promising, I may still try to get to Sugarbush for Good Friday. Difference being where I was planning on going for a long weekend, my just try to make that one day. May still try for Tux and Whiteface, we'll see. Other then those, I'm pretty much done.


YOu depend to much on your wife..you need to get out there and Get Errr Done..

I think he's exhibiting alot of respect for his wife and her current situation in life and alot of compassion.

hmm...respect for women...now there's an idea!

andy, I would watch your leg though. Make sure it isn't a stress fracture like DMC was talking about. I'm speaking from personal experience here. If not diagnosed early, they can be a bitch. You'll end up doing no impact sports for up to 6 months. It's bad.

Andy you're alot more compassionate than me..

I can't help but to shake my head when I read this.

I'll give buttmunch some credit, I got a laugh out of his comments.


It was funnier in 1996 when the humor was accidental back when he was 16 or 17. The current incarnation is an internet persona.

The SallyDoug stuff on Rec.Skiing.Alpine was a riot. All that usenet stuff is archived and you can search google groups for it. Here's one:

You can also find great stuff in the SkiVT-L archives.

He also produced some stunning refrigerator art while sitting wasted in a UVM dorm room:

It's not a matter of whether or not there's plenty to do. Heck, I have to find somewhere to live, pack, and move in the next 2 months! Still sad that the season is almost over... though I guess keeping busy will help mitigate the pain.

Here's what it is for me----I ski because it snows where I live. I golf because they snow goes away where I live. I couldn't imagine living in a place where I had to do either one soly. Yeah you can always travle but that's not my cup of tea. For me both are right outside my door and I like it.

Did YOU actually earn a UVM degree ???


In 4 years...lol..

My local ski area Blue mountain is closing on March 22nd so I only have 11 more days to ski there. There's going to be an official Gaper/retro day this Saturday and an unofficial PASR gaper day on closing day. It stinks that they're closing when they are as they were open until April 1st last season. The old owner died and his daughter took over and she's been really cheap.

I just scheduled the week of March 31st-April 4th off of work and I'll be skiing at least 5 days at Stowe and maybe a day at Mad River Glen with AWF. Spring rates are in effect starting the 31st of March and a 5 day ticket to Stowe is a reasonable $175. Then after that I'll probably spend the weekend of the 12th/13th skiing Belleyare and then 420 weekend somewhere in VT...maybe Mount Snow..then I need to plan something for May..maybe A-basin..

Your call on my answering machine? Sure. Here's the .WAV file of it.

For the record, I honored his request and I did remove his last name from the Doogie's Greatest Hits from SkiVT-L page I'd put together back in 1998. It was pretty funny since any Google search on his name turned up that page #1 for quite a few years. I still have an archive of that page with your name on it and I can put it back up if you'd like. A whole bunch of people who ran web sites you were terrorizing at the time got a big kick out of that collection. Your more recent body of work is just plain mean-spirited and isn't worth collecting.

As far as I know from my decade there, you're the only person to ever get kicked off of the SkiVT-L email list. Both SkiVT-L and Usenet's rec.skiing.alpine have archives where your antics will live on forever.

It was more like a dime bag. At the time, posession of less than an ounce of marijuana was a misdemeanor with a fine comparable to a parking ticket. It wasn't enforced at all. I actually bitched to the Dean of Students since the UVM Rent-a-Cop was just going to take it home and smoke it. It was a different world then. The drinking age was 18. Downtown Burlington was nothing but bars and head shops. Many of the dorm floors had pony kegs going 24x7 and every dorm had a keg party on Friday and Saturday night. One of the Frats ran a weekly event called the Friday Afternoon Drinking Club. You'd walk over to the frat house, grab a 24 oz paper cup with a stiff cocktail for a couple of bucks, and go back to class. You could have an open container in your car and nobody cared as long as you were below 0.1.

Hold on a sec, did I miss something here? GSS is the infamous Doogie of SkiVT-l fame? Twas before my time but you don't have to lurk long over there to pick up on some of the culture and history of the list.
