Laid to rest

Beer??? You my friend are a dork :razz:

Helmet threads.

The use of "gaper". Although, that doesn't get thrown around much here vs. epicski.

Global warming and snowfall.

Bumps and Killington oh and Vermont locals from NJ

Hey, at least I had the good sense to leave....

people who ski park are not good / real skiers.

I do think they are real skiers, it’s just a completely different discipline. I think of park the same way I do snowboarding. We are all using the mountain, just with different equipment or different approaches. If they had parks when I was a kid, I’m sure I’d have been all over it.

I think park skiers have to have a much higher level of acrobatic skill than an average groomer skier.

"Just don't read the thread, it really is that simple."

But it really is! If only people would listen it wouldn't have to be repeated. It boggles my mind how so many people will go into a thread with Sundown in the title and then complain about hearing too much about Sundown!

i'm sick of all whiners whine about the killington whiners ...

Because I'm feeling a little ornery on this Thursday morning, I did a little fact-checking on this assertion. Based on a search of the forums using the word "sundown," only 8 of the last 100 threads that mention Sundown included a reference to the mountain in the thread title (7 included sundown itself, 1 referred only to the trail Gunbarrel). So, based on this sample, the "don't click on it" strategy fails to protect Connecticut-sensitive eyes from reading about the mighty Sundown 92% of the time.

;-)

I agree and I'm not just referring to Sundown threads. I use to try and at least skim over all the threads cause I didn’t want to miss something funny in them or follow a good flame war that might be starting in the thread. I don’t anymore, now I pretty much don’t open a thread unless the title lets me know I might be interested in what’s inside.

This new philosophy has served me pretty well. The downside is I miss or am late to certain things. For example, it took me awhile to figure out what was going on in the GSS downfall, cause I had not read the threads that contained some of the flaming.

Guys, let's look at the subject of this thread "things were sick of reading on a ski forum for $500 ". So, IMO, writing Sundown if you are sick of reading about it is as a fair an answer as anything else in this thread. Yes, we all know you could just ignore the thread, but that is not the question posed by the topic.:roll:

Agree 100%. I was just commenting on one of the replies, unrelated to the purpose of the thread. Sundown was only used as an example anyway, Killington, GSS, etc. could have easily been used there as well.

Again, Sundown was only an example. Like you, I tend to skim most threads for something funny or a good flame war. Personally, there isn't anything that I am particularly sick of hearing about. Though if there was, I would simply pass the thread over.

Threads about snow tires/ FWD VS AWD.

I mean really I wonder how anyone ever got to the hills 30 years ago.
