Yea. I know. I used to work at T-Line for 2 years as a salt monitor. As for the snowboard, I couldn't tell. This was when I was doing softboots all the way. Didn't start hard booting til last year which was after I moved on from T-Line.
Palmer riser helps for softboots. Im considering them, but really dont need 'em since I stll carve anyways in softboots. Just a bit paranoid of haulin' arse and feelin the toe-drag hoping it'd not mess up my line. Otherwise, I just simply switch to my rossi alpine.
Sean & Fin,
I hope you two do reckon me in 'em crutches drooling at you carving at beaver creek last year.
I may be at beaver creek this year when the SES roll in. See ya.

That dude of Glennwood Springs' got it right on the nose--hotbed for tech people out here on 1-70. Wanna be a court typists for Kobe Bryant or news media controller? come out here. -grin-
I miss Snowboard Life.
I like Frequency.
Had a talk with a skater-friend of mine. We both agreed Thrasher's far more better than TWSkateboarding in terms of contents. TWSports' too "trendy" and waste of my time. I have old TWSnowboarding magazine. Perhaps I should compile like what Jack did. (1989 to early 1990s)
Saw Jack M. mention Mark Bock. I remember him from r.s.s newsgroups. Haven't seen his post in a very long time (I seldomly go to newgroups... but would like to get shell acct to get back to tin). I reckon description of him--a big man haulin' arse on alpine boards. Is he still around? I seriously doubt he'd remember me, but I sure would like to drop a one line email "YO, man! Thanks for the education for alpine boarding from winter of 1995ish!" Still rides in the east ? Mass I recall ?
Yea, that's the tandem Im talkinga bout. Saw a photo of the "only" couple of surfing tandem, and then saw the alpine tandem snowboarding. Thought I'd ask around. Looks like fun, as well.
Whats your experience with tandem snowboarding instructing with the beginners?
EDIT: Oops, I accidentally changed the entire page of this first msg and revert it back to original post. -sigh-
Every time I do "goggle repair" on dogpile.com, it tends to go to swimwear goggle repair. However, rejoice. I found a website from www.tognar.com (love their site):
SO Im just helping other fellow hardbooters (and softbooters):

Bunch of neat tips.
I wish him a speedy healing.
Trees. I love riding in the tree, but I admit it's real hairy to ride in it, esp the fact tree aren't soft as they -seem- to be.
I stayed at that hostel in Breck, and I really like it. Forgot the name of it but its the only hostel in Breck, anyways. Walking distance to summit county bus, which is free, too.
Whenever I go skiing (Im a beginner/intermediate), I notice I have no problem doing hockey stop whenever Im stopping to the left. I wonder if my snowboarding on goofy for years attributed to that tendency. I have difficulty to do hockey stop going to the right.
