Waist size...

You would assume wrong. Tin rips. Did so right from the start of last season.

Add him to the list of ski offs to avoid!

This was in a discussion early. He is similar to a trail that is marked as a black diamond in a blue square. He is an intermediate but since he tries to keep up with us, we let him think that he is advanced.

I have to agree because my body is black and blue after a day of skiing.


And thank you DHS.

A couple of clarifications:
1) I never said that many people use elite gear. I said that many people want to gravitate toward elite gear. Big difference.
2) I have no doubt that a skier such as yourself would choose an all-mountain ski if you could just have one ski. I also have no doubt that this would be a good choice for you. But I stand by my argument that for the most common type of skier (a non-expert who skis a few days per year), an all-mountain ski may not be their best choice. My point was simply that he should avoid an "all mountain ski" if he is not an "all mountain skier". (go back and you will see that I said exactly that... I'll wait... good...) I find it hard to believe that this would be contentious.

BTW, did Killington open first as you predicted?

What does gravity have to do with this? Are you saying that people are posers for emulating elite level skiers? Are you saying that most people who ski midfat and fat skis don't need them?

I think you should stick to giving ski advice to gapers from Texas.

So with your active quiver of 15 skis do you use these about two hours a season when your beloved Killington is blessed with 2-4 ft of untracked powder ?

I'll use them about 2 to 10 days a year depending on how much it snows.

I'm assuming that this was a joke and that you know what the term "gravitate" means.

In 2006/2007 skiers averaged 11 days per year.

Where does that stat come from? Seems high. I thought it was significantly fewer days than that due to the impact from many 1 or 2 day per season skiers.

The mean is skewed by pass holders. The mode is probably MUCH closer to your number. I got the stat from a trade group's paper. IIRC it was from the equipment manufacturerer's trade group, but I don't remember for sure.

I can defy gravity and turn my 105s like they are Hart F17s. Quadzilla up in this bitch. Come at me bro!
