Over time, most people experience life involving love, sufffering, compassion and an uspeakable drive for something new... for me there's skiing, nothing more nothing less and it encompasses everything, every day I'm out there. -Pep Fujas

There's some mountains, called the Ruby range near Elko in the middle of the desert which are pretty sick. That could also be Tahoe. The mountains on the east side of Tahoe are all or half in Nevada. You can ski from California to Nevada at Heavenly, in fact. Mt Rose, and one other that I...

I was going to get a pair of the freerides this year for my gotamas, but backed out at the last min because I heard they were no good on groomers. Now I'm kicking myself for it because my dad and I are planning a backcountry trip from Loveland to Vail in CO and I'm going to have to rent gear...

1. Find someone with a door that opens in. saran wrap the outside of the door, fill in the space with pakcing peanuts. wake them up, have digital camera and squirt guns (for good measure) handy for when they open the door. 2. Replace the matress from a bed with phone books. 3. Break into...

I sure do love the feeling of failure first thing in the morning. I had my first final at 7:30 this morning. There were 5 problems. I knew how to make up answer for 2. The rest was complete and utter bullshit. I'm really excited about the 4 finals I have left...or not. The one that pisses...

I weigh closer to 170 than to 130. Over time, most people experience life involving love, sufffering, compassion and an uspeakable drive for something new... for me there's skiing, nothing more nothing less and it encompasses everything, every day I'm out there. -Pep Fujas

skipimp_ makes the point that the whole point of this thread is to raise awareness. It has certainly done that. When I clicked on it to start reading it, it was two pages, I'm going to guess that my reply will be halfway down the third page, and I'm not a slow reader. One of the great things...

I think it would certainly be an interesting way to live, more geared towards how I already see my life and how I would like it to go than what is considered normal. I'm not a big fan of 'competing with the Jones'' and how so many people think that money is the key to happiness. Over time...

I dunno that you have it right Mr. Concept. I took mine out for thier very first turns this afternoon. There was 6 inches of new snow this morning, and then it got pretty choppy by afternoon when I got there. I had no problem busting through it, in fact, I had more issues talking the skis...

I realize you were asking about sunglasses, but goggles are where it's at while you are skiing. Maybe that's just my contact wearing opinion, but I read somewhere that your helmet, if you wear one, stays on better with goggles. In terms of sunglasses, I have a couple of pairs of smiths...

I ski big mountain more than anywher else. I love the back bowls at Copper. It needs to snow so they can open soon. Over time, most people experience life involving love, sufffering, compassion and an uspeakable drive for something new... for me there's skiing, nothing more nothing less and...

Too bad Phrosty's gone. Over time, most people experience life involving love, sufffering, compassion and an uspeakable drive for something new... for me there's skiing, nothing more nothing less and it encompasses everything, every day I'm out there. -Pep Fujas

I wish that I had the skill to express myself in writing the way you can. I read a lot of your posts and see a lot of how I see the world in them, but know that I would never be able to express them in words that way. I guess that's why I take pictures. Over time, most people experience life...

I wanted a pair of those sooooo bad. I still do. I'm thinking about buying a pair and modding them into my shoes. Hmmm....yeah. Over time, most people experience life involving love, sufffering, compassion and an uspeakable drive for something new... for me there's skiing, nothing more...

Take a book with you to classes every day. I have actual homework assignments due every week because I'm in engineering, so I work on problems in the 10 min between classes or whenever I have an hour off. I also do the reading. If you can, get ahead, it makes lectures make so much more sense...
