Everything else being equal, the skier who is faster is the better skier. I guess my point is the guy who can ski the entire mountain at moderate speed is a better overall skier than the guy who is only fast on the race course.

I was just kidding. But it's pretty rare to find a guy who is only fast on the race course, unless you're referring to NASTAR.

Tru-dat..I feel it's best to be an All-Mountain Skier..and I don't classify rails as part of the all-mountain experience..

It's nice to be able to switch your style up..alot of people can straight run groomers..some can straight run crud..but very few can straight run moguls..big GS turns on groomed or crud is great but big GS turns in the moguls will have you flat on your back..

Kind of like 50-cent says..Go head switch your style up..and if they hate let them hate and watch the ski days pile up..

Cough**Jeffy**cough cough?

What is the speed of dark?

Physics or philosophical 'dark'? Or maybe Pokemon? Dark matter doesn't emit photons unless it reaches critical compression, such as in quasars and gamma-ray bursts. But since dark matter compresses at the speed of gravity that's faster than the speed of light, I'm not sure it's so easily quantified.

Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.

Andre Gide also said: "It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves."

But I believe he was referring to his homosexuality, rather than skiing. Not that there's anything wrong with it...

The thread is........................evolving.....................................

Evolution is fascinating because it attempts to answer one of the most basic human questions: Where did life, and human beings, come from?



And it's good, it's real good
I love to kiss the cemetery girls
Their lips are hard, blank eyes like pearls
I call them up, they come to me
A zombie pomp pure ecstasy
I love to sleep with cemetery girls
Their legs are cold, sweet dusty curls
Pale pale breasts pressed to my cheek
When we make love stiff muscles creak
I love to love the cemetery girls
I wish they all could be cemetery girls

In 1650, Archbishop Ussher used the Holy Bible to calculate the Earth was created in 4004BC. Sunday, October 23, at 9am to be exact. I don't believe a word of it, though.
