Dr D could prob give you some real medical advice but not sure he'll comment on a jibber related injury. Now, had you been diving into a nice deep toeside arc and highsided and cartwheeled a few times, now that might be worthy of a professional prognosis.

Arc it or Park it, and you chose to park it.

I have a ligament tear that still has me gimping. it is a real pita, well pit...hip.

stevie hayes sez:

Great to see all the old pro and bros. Funny name for such a talented group. Well if you are like me put on your knee braces, take three advil, load up your ipod with Led Zeplin,Bob, Jerry, Jimi,Metalica, Guns,... tote ALL your kids stuff, and head up to the mt and show the locs how you used to do it back in the day. ahh the glory day's of snowboarding. Sure would be great to ride and party with the group.

How many hardbooters do you think there are in the world that ride 5+ days a season on hardboots?
If you say 42, God help me I will find you and give you an orthopedic modification with a baseball bat. More realistically, I'll cry myself to sleep, but whatever.

This thread was inspired by a crazy old deaf man with an orange FP that went "Huh? Oh hey! Wow! Too bad there's not more of us" then walked off.

was he wearing glasses ?

point is, who cares ? just charge it

at least I have chicken !

I know this thread is about buyer's remorse but take care of the cool liftys out there. A few of us have worked as liftys and it's a thankless job, I couldn't take it. Watching people have fun all day and you can't ride, it's tough.

A simple thanks when you get on the chair. I've gone to the shop and grabbed foot and hand warmers for kids with frozen fingers and toes. Handed out candy bars, gum or granola bags cuz I know some kid was starving all day.

it's good karma. take care of the liftys :biggthump

January 2, 2009

that gave me motion sickness :freak3:

gleb, how was the party ?

January 2, 2009

And I even Asked to keep it where I posted it, not bad it lasted about an hour:(

this has to stop. I mean, I like to think I know A LOT about Brazil after being married to a Brasilian for almost 10 years and I know zilch about these berries.

I did get a good laugh out of jack's comment , too. Hairless like a baby's bum.

This site would be pretty boring if all we talked about was carving carving carving tech tech tech. I'm not the only poster here that's fed up with thread deletion, snuffing posts.

Some stuff does have to go,like spam or malicious threads, but ....berries ?

C'MON ! gimme a freakin' BREAK !

this post won't last an hour :rolleyes:

Carving definately gets old, especially redundant runs on groomed trails attempting to place one's body on the snow for no apparent reason other then 'flair'. Eurocarving, extremecarving, buttchecking, fluffing, or whatever the art of dragging your hands on the snow is called, is strikingly similar to ballet skiing. You do want to express yourself, right?

maybe you're doin' it wrong :rolleyes:

I wish my creaky old bones could still tolerate the abuse of hucking myself and crashing all day. Carving is the best it gets for old busted up fat guys on the slopes. ;)

Where do you get Varcho Veda?

I found that just googling a bit. Pretty sure you can get it mailed to you in the US. I'll look for the link again.

I had an herbalist on vaca in Vail in my van to DIA tell me that Echinacea is key to take with you on vacation,at the first sign of sniffles and it'll boost your immune system and hopefully beat the bug. He swore by it, had his whole family with him and said nothing will ruin a ski vacation like a sick kid. I know many don't believe in taking echinacea but my body seems to respond well to it.

also, can you just use this hose system instead of the neti pot ? seems like it would get a better blast up into the sinuses.

Berthoud definitely has dangerous areas, but also has many safe areas that get alot of traffic.
WW are you thinking of 'Hell's half acre' ? This is from the top parking lot dropping down to the second switchback on the north east side of the pass

When the lifts ran, damn it rocked! It is a shame that expert skiers and boarders don't have money to spend to keep an area like this operating. Many times snorkels were mandatory

BB, thanks, that was great. That IS the place.

We hiked across the street and my buddy from Boulder showed me some crazy BC stuff. Never forget first run down, he was on skis and I got out front and luckily heard him (no tunes on, luckily) screaming to stop before I went straight off a cliff that looked like that video, big drop and rocks underneath. It really freaked me out cuz I would've just kept going and he said people had made that mistake before and not lived to tell about it.

We had a friends giant Suburban and had his girlfriend meet us at the bottom and just drive us back up to hike out again.

We picked up some hitchhikers doing the same hike and 2 guys actually knew my cousins from concord, ma ( high school).small world ,it is. They pointed out the "Hell's half Acre" stuff across the street that was accessable from Berthoud ski area.

We actually poached a few runs there and I remember taking a piss in the bathroom at the highest toilet in America, or something like that.

Anyway, point is: it was such an epic day I wanted to go back for more a few days later but Johnny said, bad idea since the snowpack had turned to avalanche prone stuff.

Sure enough, 2 days later 2 college kids got caught in a slide there and died.

We were sitting there watching it on the news and he's like 'Dude, that could've been us.'

Damn ! :eek:

Hiking up above Loveland and the Eisenhower tunnel,at the continental divide was another batch of some epic back country hiking for freshies.

Man, I miss Colorado !
