on the odd subject of lift-accessed terrain

Right on guys. I've never hurt anyone skiing, a streak I hope to preserve. Now hurting myself, that's none of your business! Maybe I should be more serious. Maybe it's not a laughing matter. Nevertheless, I will continue to say foolish things until I obtain a level of perfection to which I don't aspire. <br>I took some air today, landed on my face a few times, and never came close to anyone else while doing it. I hope everyone else found something just as enjoyable for themselves. Cheers.<br>I still hold that people who approach a launch, stall, and scrape all the snow off it suck.<br>Now let's get back to thinking about that huge snowpack that's making everything look enticing!<br>

That's cool - people who hurt themselves surely aren't a gripe for me. I only bum on the ones who are playing with my odds.<br><br>I hear ya on the scraping - it sucks no matter the tool. Though scraping the tops of moguls is fine with me - moguls are by nature scraped items.

Wait, I'm confused. What are we arguing about? I've skied lifts twice in my life. I'm not willing to spend the money and I don't have the time. So I don't have to worry about 'tudes all that much...unless Jeff AND  Sky came along. <br><br>So what were we arguing about? <br><br>"I'd just like to add that since most of us here are probably in better shape and perhaps better skiers than your typical resort pimps"<br><br>Speak for yourself! I absolutely SUCK!

<br>So what were we arguing about? <br>

<br><br>No! The 'tude shall not be slain &gt;<br><br>Speaks the M E T H O D<br><br>Razor sharp I seva <br>the head from the shoulders I'm betta<br>than my competa<br>you mean competita whateva<br>lets stick togetha

<br>Speak for yourself! I absolutely SUCK!  

<br><br>Nah, suck is when you spend 30 minutes sitting around puffing the ganj, do one trick, talk some sh@t, then stop and rest for another fifteen, making sure all of the time to point out how much everybody else sucks.<br><br>Speaking of riding the lifts, what is everyone's worst inbound moment?<br><br>Mine has got to be knocking myself out in the superpark at Meadows. I remember watching several guys hit the biggest kicker I'd ever seen, but they all were going too slow and not making the transition. So I thought, why not hit it full-speed? I apparently went spread eagle from the sheer force of the launch and landed on my back. I say apparently because I didn't actually retain any memory of the jump. Just a blink of memory laying there with ski patrol around me, and seeing my blood on the snow. I found myself about 50 feet beyond the transition. As soon as they put me on the sled, I passed out again. They said I was asking what happened every 2 minutes for an hour. I had double vision for two days following the concussion.<br><br>Now I avoid the terrain park.
