Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 4511874, member: 9260"] moved to kali some years back, new pals ask 'do u board, ski?' im like 'i lived in Boston, it's some kind of law there, even for people coming from Bridgeport, so, ummm, duh!' head to ski shop in downtown SF - 'hook me up! im going big mountain western skiing!' we go to Squaw. after trip, pals ask 'what do you think?' i say 'above treeline is pretty neat, and falling always feels like crashing into pillows, but cold, ice, and trees 4 feet apart aren't on the menu, so there's that.' i remember once yelling at chairpeople in Vermont, who just closed the lifts cuz it was like 45 below on the wind chill. beard, and everywhere else on me filled with icicles, i'm like 'wusses!' temp never bothers me, it's only the icy rocks that do. Utaaaah, Colorado, and such are always lovely. doesn't seem to get crazy ice cold there, tho that sierra cement is very real, and often comes down in feet per day. shussing along in waisthigh sludge can be tiring. on the udder hand, it always seems to be sunny in those places.... winter tan! i wonder if skiing in the dark was invented around our way. seems appropriate. add ice and 30mph winds. and long underwear made of kevlar and silk.
