ALBAS - A Look Back At Skiing (also known as teachski.com)

Teachski.com comes from 2 things really. I am a teacher (by profession) and I ski. For a while now I have also been a ski teacher (instructor), but that came after the name.

T4T- time for tuckermans
TGR- some website that hates us

I think the fine folks over at TGR (Teton Gravity Research) hate everyone. I wasn't aware that they have a specific issue with this forum though.. I tried to go there but the firewall at work seems to be blocking it... :roll:

I checked TGR, and while it does appear to be a skiing, etc. site, it's definitely not a site that I want to be checking out using the family computer, if you know what I mean...

In any case, to each their own...check the site out and make your own choices...

There is actually some good stuff over there, you just need to wade through a ton of crap.

That's why I appreciate the moderators here...some folks may think it's a bit confining, but if it keeps the "crap" level to a minimum then it's a good thing overall.

Oh yeah, would you look at that. And I always yell at my students for not reading directions.

I'm not sure on the buy Jay a beer, etc. But I *know* what the "I forgot my tentpoles is!"

Hey Jay, we just have to play a few games of chess soon. And to those in the know, play cribbage too.

How's that!

I don't think there are actually that many acronyms here. Occasionally you'll se AZ, and TGR and T4T come up rarely, FOT48 for about 2 weeks each year, but that's about it.

We're just not hip to the whole abbreviating thing, I guess.

YMMV

Iirc?
Rotfl?


(thank you az for not letting me caps the acronyms.

p.s., I'm very anal-obsessive about not letting my web site developers and marketeers use jargon and acronyms. Everyone knows me as, "Plain English Please!"
