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!

Pop a couple pain pills and soldier on.

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.

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.

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

I grabbed this one and only Video I have on YouTube - my nephew doing some flying three years ago. He was 14 at the time.

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!!

The perfect way to end the day!

My son at 4yo, at 6 he is now confidently running greens. My daughter who will turn 4 this spring just did her first green run last night with the help of my wife and a ski harness

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.

Me (red lid) and 2 guys from work 2 years ago at Red Mountain in BC.

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

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...

And then about 20 years later at Heavenly with the kids:
