How do you know we're attractive???? :) Of course, we've all seen the photo of Aisling... You would think a guy would jump for the chance, but it's not the case. It's really hard to find a quality person in this world, guys or girls. One that you get along with, actually like spending time with and have fun with, are physically compatible, and likes to do the same things as you is unheard of. And if they are not pyscho or abusive, BONUS! I just can't believe that people actually meet, date, stay in a relationship, get married, and stay married. And have a good, fun marriage! I'm a skeptic, I have to admit. I know they are out there, because a lot of you are experiencing them, but for some people it's not in the stars. And I am also amazed at the people who have tried internet dating. I too find them creepy, but at this point in the world define creepy..... :) So should I start a Bomberonline dating service?? I'll see what Fin has to say about that.....

I'm just amazed at the response this thread is getting. Aisling, seems like you have a nice following there! Joecarve, if they are already housebroken, they are usually taken. And if they have been housebroken by someone else, they have issues. See, damned if you do......

Once again, not looking to get married. Thanks for all the dating advice. There is no weeding out of the weirdos, men (and probably women too, I don't know) don't show their true colors until it's too late. Best of luck with all that!

I hear ya sister! Not everyone wants to get married and do the kids thing. I would be happy with a guy who doesn't want drama in his life, is not abusive, thinks I am worth his time and effort, and respects me. OBVIOUSLY that is too much to ask in this day and age! skatha, congrats. It's nice to hear there are people who fit the bill. But NONE of them seem to be in my life. :) And as far as waiting and relaxing, I was single and sooo happy for 4 years before I met this guy - he really took me by surprise. I think you are damned if you do damned if you don't in relationships anyway. So much for trying to play it cool, 'huh?

Damnit! You guys saw right through the scam. Man, you guys are S-M-R-T!

Heard it all before........ This is not a dating service!!!! Thanks Billy for your words. I'm so bummed about the whole thing. Life has to continue, right??? We'll talk soon I'm sure. no matter what you think, Christy is a lucky girl!

Great to hear you guys are already thinking of sharing rooms, and getting it all together. I just was in Aspen last week scouting, and will be posting updated rates and lodging info soon. The ST Moritz is in with us again. Roger is gone but the guy who took his place is David, and he is emailing me some info soon. Another idea is to get "dorm" style beds with a suite, and then everyone can hang in the suite, use the kitchen, tv, etc and just split the total cost between all. Get creative! Seemed to work well last year! Please email me if you have any SES questions. See you there!

I'm with you Aisling. I was dating this GREAT "nice" (and he is a nice guy) guy, but not anymore. What's up with guys lately?? Guess I just don't get it. Sorry for all you "nice" guys out there, but there are some "nice" guys that just ruin it. And no, I am NOT involved with Fin as most of you think. :) Although he is a very nice guy,and has been a really great friend to me.

Dr Sandman If you want any info on Copper Mtn or Summit County, give me a call. Let me know what kind of info you want - lodging, mountains, apres ski, etc. I've lived here for 10+ years now, and know what's going on. Michelle@ Bomber

If you don't find someone to share a room, check the lodging page on the SES web site.

Neil, I just emailed you. See below: They can purchase the amount of lift tickets they need, and then pay for the evening events and demos as they go. The banquet ticket they should order now. Thanks!

Hey guys Today is the last day to sign up if you need lift tickets of if you want to purchase a hoodie ! Also, if you want to come to the Banquet , please sign up today as well. Space will defintiely be limited this year (remember, if you purchased a package, the banquet is included). I have to order everything today, so at 3pm MST nothing will be guaranteed. If you just want to come and hang out, feel free. There is no dealine for that. SES "tell us you are coming" sign up sheet

There is a bus system that runs between Aspen and Snowmass, and I think it is $2/ride after 5pm. However, if you talk to people during the day, I think lots of people will have cars and can give you a ride.

We are working on tuning clinics and stance/setups clinics with some of the local folks out here. We will notify everyone at the event if this will happen. Carving clinics we are also working on with the guys from SnowPerformance. Great guys that host unbelievable camps during the season, and they usually show up and give you guys some tips. However, beginning carvers should contact the mountain for lessons. I would contact the mountains now and get it set up. Be sure to specify that you want a lesson in HARD BOOTS. You are welcome to get gear from us in the morning, and go on to your lesson from there.

The SES 05 Hoodies will be limited this year. If you would like to order a hoodie, go here to order it. I will need to know by January 24, 2005 if you want one for the SES. I can not guarantee orders after this date. We will not have T-shirts this year, only hoodies! For questions, email me . This is the back of the hoodie. The front will say SES 05

I have tons of people call me all the time and say "I want to share a room at the SES. Do you know anyone else?" I always tell people to post something on the forum, and it seems these posts are getting lost in the general SES stuff. So I am making a special thread just for room sharing. If you want to share accomodations for the SES please post here. Any other discussion about the SES please direct to the other thread. Also, The SES is fast approaching and we need to make you aware of a couple of things. 1. The tickets need to be purchased no later than 15 days before the start of the SES. I have to order them ahead of time, so any purchases made after January 28th are NOT GUARANTEED!!! If you are planning to come to the SES, please purchase your lift tickets NOW! 2. Any items you would like to purchase from us to be delivered at the SES needs to be done no later than 3 days before the SES. We will not have additional equipment to sell at the SES, so if you need boots, board, liners, bindings, etc please go to the web site and place the order. In the comments section put "PICK UP AT SES" and I will bring it with me to Aspen. 3. As the event gets closer, I will be posting more information on the general thread, so stay tuned. If you have any questions, you can email me . See you soon!

Hi everyone! The SES is fast approaching and we need to make you aware of a couple of things. 1. The tickets need to be purchased no later than 15 days before the start of the SES. I have to order them ahead of time, so any purchases made after January 28th are NOT GUARANTEED!!! If you are planning to come to the SES, please purchase your lift tickets NOW! 2. If you are still in need of lodging, there are a few people looking to share rooms. Please post a thread on this forum if you need a room to share. This is the most economical way to spend a week in Aspen - SHARE a room! Most condos go for $150-200/night, and sleep up to 4 people (this is average, there are other deals out there). I am going to start a new thread titled: SES HOUSING SHARE so everyone can respond there. 3.

Well, here in Summit County it is snowing, and it is light and flufffy. In trying to get to work early this morning I was delayed by having to dig my car out! The roads are pretty crappy too, but we seem to have had quite a bit overnight. The local weather says Aspen is also getting a bit of snow, but we should hear it from the locals there. Jim? Pat? We want the scoop!

And here is my current klan of dogs..... dressed in the Christmas best!

We are all missing Baloo quite a bit. The office is not the same without him. Even the rest of the dogs were quite depressed yesterday. He will be remembered for a long time. That's the sucky part about having dogs, all of us will go through this at some point. However, at least all of our dogs will go with love, which is more than a lot of animals have. Here's a shot of the sweet girl I lost last year, Connie. I also work with a husky rescue group in Colorado (same place Baloo came from) if anyone is interested in giving a dog a home for their last 4-5 years of their life. We also have some younger dogs available from time to time. If everyone can just spread the word even if you are not interested, you may know someone who is. Thanks!

We're already planning this. I have spoken to the mountain managers and they are making a special exception for us. Plan to be at the mountian early. I'll have more on this later.

We have some Nidecker Magic boards here in the office. If you are interested, please send me an email. Michelle

Hey guys/girls I just posted an item on the SES pricing page so that people can order a Van from DIA to Aspen. If you are interested, I will need to know 2 weeks prior to the event to set this up. This is non-refundable; once I make the reservations it will be set. These vans will be rented from Resort Express, and depending on interest we will have 2 vans, maybe more. We will have them leaving at 2 different times, for those of you who are getting in later. If you order this option, please also include your flight arrival time so that I can organize the vans the best way for everyone. Let me know if you have questions. MJ

Hi Mozz We will be carving at Buttermilk, Aspen mountain, Highlands, and Snowmass. Specific trails? We will be everywhere, taking over the mountains - they won't know what hit them!
