He looked me over and saw my Arbor A-Frame with Salomon Caliber bindings with a mild carving stance and asked, "How old are you?" "I'm 59." He replied, "I hope I will be riding at 59 too!" I can't remember 59! This shot was taken last year. That's my child bride with me. She's only 70.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) At Heavenly Sunday at the Olympic lift on a 160 Angrry, F Plate, TD3's and pulled up behind 3 post college age snowboarders right before loading: Them - Damn! We saw you ripping it Dude! You Looking Good On That Mono Ski!!! (I swear I hear "Mono Ski(er)" at least once a week!) Me - My grin evaporates into a frown, rolling my eyes I take a deep breath ready to roll into my scripted infomercial.......but then I get a Aw What Tha Hell Moment and Roll With It!.... "Damn Straight! And I'm The Best Damn Mono Skier On The Mtn! I'm Better Than All Of You! You Wanna Race!" Them - Dudeeee!!! No F---ing Way Dudeeeee! ...and their gone! I think I scared the bejesus out of em as they exited stage left quickly at the top of the lift and I never saw them again! Thank You Shane McConkey and the Game of GNAR! Snowboarders, of all people!

Keenan Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Yesterday someone asked me if I was from Europe. I said no. He said "But you're a Eurocarver." I told him my board was from Idaho. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
