Being able to get trans-Atlantic snow reports from real people (as opposed to tour companies) was a game changer; rec.skiing.alpine however showed that other less pleasant games were also being changed. I never stopped using good boots, just got a lot of practice in. Wow, I remember that! I was caught off guard when TWSnowboarding magazine somehow managed to find my post via newsgroup/tin relevant and published it in "dear reader" in mid 90s. I can't remember which group it was but I think it was rec.skiing.snowboarding or something like that? It's nice to see somebody at TWS magazine to be familiar with tin/newsgroup, too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet that was Lee Crane who found your stuff on r.s.s. He found my posts there and paid me to write carving articles for SOL (Snowboarding Online) which became TWS. Super nice guy. Getting $0.25 per word in college in the early 90s was a thrill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of fun... https://web.archive.org/web/19991127075420/http://www.bomberonline.com/ I'm a little sad we never found out who that guy was that would purportedly drink a bottle of Jack Daniels and then post diatribes about how lame hardbooting is. Could be The Angry Snowboarder guy. His username, if I remember correctly, was CK. Who? Skeez? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy I'm talking about had a username that was just two initials, I want to say CK. He would claim to be drunk and rant against us saying stuff like his grandmother could ski down the trails we carve. He did it in a clever way that I found amusing.
