Rusty

I'm a huge fan of the lobster/trigger finger glove. I've had these for a few seasons and they are still holding up fairly well. I'll replace them later this year. http://www.demonsnow.com/pr_2721.html

If you can't duck it...f*ck it... (yes i know it's duct, not duck. Unless it's Duck brand duct.)

You could even go with "wicked pissah amplitude..." but you'd have to be from Malden.

Anyone going up this weekend? Wanna split the gas from the Westminster area? Not sure if I'll be carving or in the trees...depends if there's freshies... Rustyinnh @ yahoo.com (remove the spaces)

The first one was a red and black Burton Performer Elite, I think it was a 148. It had a swallow tail with a skeg in the middle of the board near the tail (if you could call it a tail) and fastex webbing for binders. Combine that with a pair of sorrel (sp?) boots that I took the felt out of and replaced it with liners from my dads dynastar ski boots and I was rockin'!!! Oh my, what a death sled that thing was...

Come on now...seriously? Stupid captian caveman look-a-like...Gonna miss his at bat but that noodle arm was irritating at times. I shook my head everytime they stuck a microphone in is face...ugh, me hit ball.

I 'm pretty much a weekend warrior with a breck, keysotne, a-basin pass...made softie turns sunday at a-basin.

Western Massachusetts...be a hell of a drive.

Billy- that is a great pic!!! Ahhh..the Temple days...You know everythings torn down now right?

Flying in tomorrow through Sunday for the Apartment hunt... If anyone want's to get a beer give me a ring 603-930-2582. Rusty

Hmmmm...Denver could be more fun than I thought... I'm gonna be out in that neck of the woods looking at apartments next week... Looks like I'll be officially be moving at the end of november, just in time for the snow!!!

this site is pretty fun to check out too. http://www.nelsap.org/ New England Lost Ski Areas Project

The video worked for me... I knew I shoulda' pried that thing off of Billy's feet and given it a whirl.

Phil...it's like Eddie Murphy said (when he was funny) "You gots to have a jobby job..." and i think Heber/Parkcity is about 10-20 miles further than I want to drive. I'll be over there to visit though.

Yea, I agree...I was in Oklahoma for some training for a few months and it was way to flat for my tastes. I'm thinking I'll still try for the Golden, Arvada, Wheatridge areas. We'll see....

Holy Crap...did you guys get some snow!! Mario, What would you consider too far North and East? Rusty

DFJ- 6 inches!!! YEEES!! You said you live in "tech center" where about's is that? Any comments on the Golden, Wheat Ridge, Arvada areas?

Oh yea I gotta think about a pass too!!!!! Yippie!!! How about the ski 3 deal? Keystone, Breck, and A-Basin for $359 and I've got till Dec.15th to buy it. How about Eldora? Is it worth it? It'd be close to home that's for sure. What's the next one up...Loveland? I like other cubeical farm dwellers mostly go on sat/sun, is that place a mess on weekends? (remember I'm from the east coast, I'm used to crowded slopes on weekends) Winter park looks like it's fairly close too does that mean it's crowded too? Fin- Thanks for the invite, I'll be sure to take you up on it as soon as the snow flies! Is keystone the only place around with nightriding?

Well I put my house up for sale this weekend and will probably be moving out there in about a month or so. (I'm all of these smilies right now) Just looking at the map I'm thinking that Golden seems like a nice place, but what's it feel like? How about Arvada or Wheat Ridge? Any Idea what the traffic will be like going from these place to Northglenn (I think the office will be on W120th ave right next to Rt. 25) and back again? DFJ and Mario...you guys are talking about "Highlands" an "Tech Center" where would I find those on a map? My company is paying for the move and there gonna help me find an apartment for a few months. After that I think I'll take the profits from my house and buy a little condo somewhere. Anybody have a littel one or two bedroom apartment for rent? Bola...Yep I'm from Nashua, NH. I think you and I met (briefly)at Buttermilk this past year. (I was hanging out with the Hardbooter Crew) You were with your son right? I'll be sure to come visit when I get settled. B-2 and D. Winters...Don't say that twice, I'll be knocking on your front door before ya know it looking for all the insider powder shots! Thanks Denver folks! It's making it a little less nerve wracking to have some kind of contacts heading out there... Rusty in CO

D...you must have a lot of people crimping your pins if Radio Shack sells a tool for it...

Thanks guys! Hopefully they will send me out there to interview for the position and I'll be able to check out some of the area before too long. Now looking at a map all of the towns seem to just meld into one big suburb is that about right? What about Boulder? Too expensive for a single guy (and his dog)making around 40K? (plus side jobs if needed) Is RT 36 from Boulder to Northglenn a nightmare too? I'd probably have to sell the little house that I have now in NH and I wouldn't mind buying a two or three family house. (a couple of tennants to help with the new mortgage.) Do they even exist in that area or is that more of an east coast thing? Mario, you know what I'm saying...any triple deckers? The Pizza sucks huh...Damn, I'd miss my Papa Romano's. Thanks Rusty

I was told on monday that my job is being relocated to Northglenn Colorado, just outside of Denver by the end of November. Anybody out there give me an Idea what it's like to live there? I'd probably want to live somewhere close Northglenn but not right in the city. Any towns/areas that I should avoid? (rather not find my self living in a disputed gang war or something.) How far would I be driving to hit some of the better carving areas? Thanks Rusty in NH (well for now at least...)

Ya know hate is a very strong word...but not quite strong enough in this case!!

Not till after 6ish...probably get rolling around 8 or so. I'll go get the luge at my buddies house around 8-9, any earlier and it'll melt before the end of the night. Not to mention the people that'll be melting too.
