Never

Robie.

You're getting it.

Have new friends that have a place that you visit.

Never pass up a line that some one is approaching from a different route.

Have a traveling van that can have access to ski and sleep at a great place. Old mans.

Retire early.

Never go unguided to a new place when someone volunteered to be your guide next week...
(of course, I know 16" of powder drives out common sense)

never stand in a lift line your not mentally stable enough to handle.
never posthole in the skintrack or shit on one
never underestimate the ability to make bad decisions

Never ski faster than the trailbreaker.
Always have car beers.
Spend more time skiing, and less time interneting.

Never drop 15ft to flat.

Well, 15ft to flat is not so bad.

But Never drop 15ft to slightly uphill.

Never ski faster than the trailbreaker.
Always have car beers.
Spend more time skiing, and less time interneting.

Win, win, and win!

Also-

Never get involved in a land war in Asia
and never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
