"some landfill in Michigan"..... Mt Brighton by chance? I skied there and at Alpine Valley in highschool and college in the 80's. about 2hrs from where I lived just south of Toledo.
Heh, I probably exaggerated (seriously, to a landfill?) but it was Cannonsburg for me. I think it actually was a natural hill, a majestic 200' high. Wasn't there some 1980's movie that mentioned Brighton?

So no, I've never slalomed the methane.

But it's interesting that learning on ice/manmade snow (can you even turn?) and a little racing in college (can you turn exactly there?) you can turn anywhere, anytime. These days I prefer my snow soft, nearby and near the bar...

TV can't capture what these people do BTW. Those aren't your local blue runs... I love the super-G as there are real turns but still at death-speed.
