Who else is skiing year-round?

. . . and then there's TOMSKI on ttips bagging his 300th month in a row!<br><br> www.telemarktalk.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=21346

Yep, Tomski is amazing. I imagine that his streak will get some attention in that upcoming Ski Mag article.<br><br>Mike, how could I not remember you - "Hi-Speed Mike"!<br><br>Lowell, that article sounds a lot like one I remember reading that first made me aware of the idea of skiing year round, except I thought that the group of skiers lived in Colorado.<br><br>Thanks to everyone who has posted info about their streak. I have heard of several more, including a California skier who just got #120, and his friend who is only "a few months" behind that.<br><br>A little later in the fall, when I have time, I will contact everyone who has posted here to solicit "profiles" to add to the year-round skier page (optional, of course). If you will want to do this, you can also track down your favorite photo of you skiing to be included with your profile. Anyone who would like to add their profile but hasn't posted yet can still post here or contact me directly (contact link at bottom of page).

<br><br>Promise not to add any of us to the "Biffs All Year" page?

Mark: nope. If anyone is foolish enough to do a biff in front of my camera, they are fair game for the next installment of Biffs-All-Year. Of course, to keep things fair, I will try to include a photo of me skiing badly...they are just so rare.

hey Charles,<br><br>for me, sand, rocks, dirt, trees, shrubs, alder, grass, asphalt and gravel count, as long as a pair of skis are strapped to my feet. i'm at 24 months and extremely hooked on the idea of turns-all-year. i REALLY love to ski! anyway, i'll continue racking up the months....<br><br>-kam

The SkiMag article about "ski streaks" is out. It looks like the typical "gee whiz" kind of story, no doubt due to the editor's demands rather than the author's abilities. Did I really say that? There are actually two articles, the first one being the main story and the second just some "profiles":<br> The Streakers <br> The Streakers: Streaks and Streakers <br><br>

<br><br>This would seem like a good time for me to solicit some real "profiles" of year round skiers to add to the 20 on the page on my site ( www.turns-all-year.com/indexyrs.html ). So, any of you who have skied in at least 12 consecutive months are invited to send me your profile. Here are the sections of a profile:

1. How I got started skiing year-round:
2. Criteria for what counts as a ski trip:
3. Biggest threat to my streak:
4. Type of equipment I use:
5. Strategy for skiing through the low season:
6. Worst and best backcountry ski trips:
7. Skiing activities in the past year:
8. Consecutive months (please give the number of months at the end of a specific month [eg. 30 months as of Nov. 30, 2004]):<br>9. Please indicate if it is OK to share your email address with the other skiers on the page (your email will not be released in any other way; so far, all 20 have said yes):<br>10. One or two photos (jpeg) of you - best is one good action shot and another that really shows what you look like; photos are optional.<br><br>Please copy and paste the above and use it to fill in your info. Keeping all of this info organized seems to take me quite a bit of time, so if everyone sticks to this format it will be easier for me. You might also want to keep a copy for yourself, just in case there is a problem in sending it. I will wait a little while for profiles to come in before posting them.<br><br>Send your profile/photos to:<br>yearroundskier at turns-all-year dot com<br><br>I will probably inactivate this email address eventually since it will probably get picked up by spammers.
