Skier here. This February marks my 34th year. If I die on skis, I will have died happy.

This one almost did kill me.

20 ft. drop, my right shoulder took most of the hit, but my head hit hard enough to black out for a few secs.

You quit for the day? Pussy! :D Pop a couple pain pills and soldier on. :D

Tuckerman is insane! I hiked in the summer, and it was tough. I used to think how crazy it would be to ski it.

I grew up in the town next to Stow, Vermont so I am used to some stuff, but that was crazy!

I didn't see the naked snow-bunny carrying cognac box, so I feel excluded. :(

Hey, I'm wondering if that was me taking you down the hill....you look famaliar...

Alta:

Well, I generally hit the ground, but I enjoy hitting the bar afterwords:D

That pretty much ended my season. I ended up skiing one day about two months later, against two Doctors wishes. I felt I needed to get back on the snow for my sanity. I stayed out of the half pipe until the next season though.

Back in the saddle the next season.

Alta is great...no snowboarders allowed! :)

Stevens Pass in Washington State, base elevation 4200 feet, nice vertical drop and this is only 45 minutes from my house.

Double Black Diamond Skier here; been skiing all my life. Taught my wife and then all my kids. We used to have a condo up at Silver Star in Vernon and we're planning to buy a chalet up at Sun Peaks soon. Love the sport, but 'eh I'm Canadian too!
Sledding has really cut into my ski time the last couple years though; something about a motor attached to the skis that I like ;)

Wow not many from the East. I'm jealous of all the folks out west even if we have 2' of fresh snow. I am mopre suprised by that not many boarders compared to skiers. I thought they took over the slopes!!

as my buddy always says.....Ski to die, live to tell!!

We're usually too busy having fun to take pics. This one is about a decade ago. Kids and I at Vail. I'm on my wife's shorties just having fun with the kids.

I only ski west. I'll try Europe some day, though.

today was killer at Kirkwood.. supposed to get 2-3 feet in the next few days!!

Kirkwood was my favorite when I lived in Southlake after college.

I remember hitting it after a huge storm that hit on a Thurs left 6' of snow by Sat and and they shut the roads down so we had knee deep freshies for 4-5 days since no one could get in or out.

Does it still have the skull and cross bones expert only sign on the main lift going up the face?

I also recall jumping off the lip on "the Face" on the backside after the storm. it was a 20' drop. Love that place

Here's me and my bride at Vail back in 1988ish. 203's IIRC (and I'm 5' 7"), I can't get used to demoing skis around 160mm, I hadn't used skis that short since I was 16...
