Who's ready for SKIING/SNOWBOARDING????

[frorider6]

These were taken at Arapahoe Basin in Colorado, highest ski area in North America. Sometime around Feb '99.

This was a little cliff drop varying from 6 - 10 feet depending on what angle you took and where you launched.

And yes, that's me!!! Nothing spectacular, but let's see you do it!!!

I am definitely ready. Have you gotten the Colorado pass yet? A-Basin is my favorite place to ski. It is laid back and the beach is a blast.

I got some 5 day pass for Keystone, Breck and A Basin for $100. It's all I could afford and I don't expect to go up a whole lot more than that.

Those pictures are from my first winter in Colorado. Some friends and I got the Buddy Pass and went about 50-60 times. I've missed most of the last 2 winter's due to injuries. I have swapped over to snowboarding though and am JONESIN' for some powder!

I took my nephew up last year and took snowboard lessons with him. I felt like I had thirty guys beat the shit out of me the next day. I will stick with skiing, besides I like the bumps.

I bought My pass for breck and such...I'm not sure if I can go due to the fact I had Knee surgery...I don't know though, I'm recovering pretty damn fast!!!!

I remember my first day of boarding too. A friend who had done it once had me rent a board and we just jumped on the lift. He bailed on me within 10 minutes and I taught myself.

So now I know what a concussion, whiplash and an ass beating feel like! I went back and did it the next year and fell in love once I hit powder.

You ever tried ski boards? I wasn't good enough on skis to really attack the bumps, but I could fly through them on my boards. On those crappy groomed days we'd just strap on the ski boards on go huck ourselves off the jumps in the terrain park at Breck.

A-basin is sweet when they open the East Wall up. The chutes over near Palivachini are intense. Forider6, you look scared to death in those pics!

You can see my face under that fleece mask? Damn you have good eyes. I'll admit to being scared the first time. I mean, you drop off a fucking 10 foot cliff and see how you feel!!!!!! Bravery is facing your fear and overcoming it. Stupidity is having no fear.

Thninkin of tradin in my snowboard for some snow blades, those are sick.

 

[frorider6]

Do I look more fearless in this one? This wasn't so much of a cliff as just a sharp drop. But I was hauling ass and soared off there.

Bumpin' threads cause I wanna
