We've seen early November games where they get hammered with 6'' of snow during a game, but home playoff games in January with temperatures in the mid 50s.

I bet I'm the only idiot Texan who has cross country skied down a trail from Bear Lake to Sprague Lake in RMNP. Since that time I have used only snowshoes.

Of course, I've skied both, and now you've got me started on ski stories. I meant Summit County Colorado. A-Basin, Keystone, Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, Vail. If you remember the "Race you to the bottom for a Bud Lite" commercial- well, that was filmed at A-Basin. The last part of that race was on a run called Ramrod- an appropriately named intermediate Blue run that's straight, and doesn't change in pitch. We decided to repeat the challenge. Tuck & dive. Around 1\2 way down the run, I had picked up enough speed that the sensation was similar to being in an airplane taking off. I was losing contact with the snow on little undulations I couldn't even see. Decided it was time to slow down before I crashed and wound up in a hospital. Breckenridge is probably my favorite, and yes, I'm proud to say I side slipped my way down their claim to fame- the appropriately named double black diamond (expert and we mean it) Mach One. You don't even see what you're skiing until you push over the edge. Besides being a great ski area, Vail happens to be the place of one of my worst getting trashed stories. There's a an outdoor ski in bar at the end of one of the runs- so after a great day on the slopes, we stopped in to have a few- more than a few. Just about ready to close up for the day and the waitress is walking around asking "anyone order this pitcher of Margaritas"? Bring it on over. Bad move. Another Vail story. At the time you could go into the ski shop and rent anything in the store for $40 bucks. I'm a low expert, so give me the Alberto Tomba full bore giant slalom package. I always try new equipment on those green circle runs. Well, pointed the skis down hill, and I happened to take off like a rocket. Blazing through "slow skiing" areas. About a half mile down the hill I finally managed to get under control and stop. Wife catches up 5 minutes later and says "what the hell were you doing?" "Um trying to avoid getting killed." Ah, but I digress Gipper. I fondly remember one day at Boston Mills when I finally got good enough to ski Boston Mills run Tiger (short but a legit black diamond) without crashing. Was coming off the run at full speed, made a left turn- and didn't notice there was a tow rope there. Sort of like an F-15 catching the rope landing on an aircraft carrier. Rope burned a perfectly good pair of ski bibs. 3 hours ago, TexasAg1969 said: Had to be Brandywine for Larry.🍷😁 Ah yes Bill, Brandywine. Indeed another ski story. They had night skiing until 4 AM. You may find it hard to believe, but there was some serious drinking going on the entire time. Last run guys- they're shutting down the lifts. Another race to the bottom. Larry's in the lead! Except I kept right on going. The next thing I remember, I was in the middle of a creek in a foot of water on my skis, off of a 10' drop off. The other guys thought I had killed myself. Somehow, I wasn't even hurt. No idea how I managed that stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not near as good as my sister who landed a car upside down in a 6 ft. deep creek in the middle of the night and had to orient by feel of the water rising "down" to the floor before kicking out the broken windshield to escape alive.

A place to park our cars, take a schidt, watch TV and eat. Cathy and i have 5 bedrooms, 4 crappers, three attics. We own the place, but it is still a pain in the assz. It is said that a house is the best investment a man will ever make. I say, bullschidt, The best thing to spend money on are things that make us happy and allow us to have fun.
