I injure my thumb and wrist ALL the time skiing.

Here's another gem from eBay... ice tower looking for good home

on a related note: how the hell do you learn to work the terrain park w/o killing yourself in the process. I have never been more injured than I have going off large jumps just slightly crooked. even little kickers can kick my ass if I don't pay attention, and I almost killed myself when I botched a 360 this weekend. seems like there is a lot of marketing towards the park stuff (ski resorts really seem to push it here in oregon) but are there lessons or something to ease your way into this stuff? btw, I've heard tweaked or broken forearms are the number one snowboarding injury.

what's with the sudden switch to bulletin board ebonics tell me, was the latte this morning off the chain? and the ill liftizles, where they lined up for shizzle?

does it involve any chimney rappels? no epic is complete w/o at least 2.

hey tele is cool. I have no problem with it.

and then the subsequent whining on the way down when you stop at a semi-flat spot since they can't get their ass going again.

The best is when they fake stretching their calves in the lift line to make it clear to everyone they are on tele gear

Sounded like Saturday night was a bad night on the mountain with multiple lifeflight calls

less bitching, more skiing.

that's where the "dru sprayshaw" comes from I guess

you'd wind up in a ball in the corner of your tent in the direction it slips a big piece of skinning material on your butt would be great, just sit down on steep slopes, warm and no slip

This is the queue to post my biannual suggestion for pants with skin material on them (not as thick though).

the kicker skins idea is a good one. Another one is to hang on to them when you have to return them due to glue failure and you need to show a "before and after" example.

definitely those climbs where I first pitched on gear (and it held, obviously).

with you, more like:

I have a hard enough time just living day-to-day w/o remembering all this shit.

eh heh heh he BWAHAHAHA! OMFG BRAH!

everyone knows what selective cutting is. it's the wolf/henhouse scenario that gets people worried.

raptor in its native environment

stay the hell away from the northwest bush. I hate you.

it's a gateway drug. just say no like nancy told you back in the day. it also leads you to accidently shoot your friend with the loaded handgun accidently left on dad's desk according to the ads.
