Central, I live in the Minneapolis, MN area. I am Level I skis (no time to get any father yet) and level III on a snowboard. I am interviewing to be on the snowboard Ed Staff next weekend. They like my park teaching experience (90% of what I have taught the past 4 years or so). --rick

So you are saying we should have a bunch of pot smokeing 'sole skiers' teaching the next generation of skiers how to ski? I can see it now.... "Dood, just huck the jump." "Ouch my beck!" "That was killer, just make sure you poles are shorter and your pants are sagging more next time and you...

I should mention that I am a level III snowboard instructor. I only have my level I for skiing. I just haven't had the time to go farther on the ski side. What I said above is true no matter what you teach on. --rick

That triplets triple post was funny. If they are the old 1080s, you might want something a little better all mtn (karma, Foil, PE, MSP). --rick

1) To get certified (PSIA) you need to be working at a ski school. You can't just take the test. You need a ski school director to sign off on you that you have taught for 10 hours or had the equivalent training. B) I have never heard that you automatically get insurance once you are...

The DIN is also based on your boot size. Specifically Boot Sole Length (the small number in mm molded on the outside of the heels). On the chart you find your weight, then scroll across to your boot sole length range. That number is your type 1 skier Din. Go down one row for type 2, one more...

Yes I did. It was good, but not great. My top 3 all mountain twins are the Karma, Foil and PE. The WRS is probably in that 4 or 5 spot. Like I said, not bad, but not as good as the Foil. In my opinion. --rick

I have put up a few more e-bay auctions. I will also have some new 2007 STLs when they arrive. Burton Formula Women's Jacket: Burton Impact Short: Generic Impact Short-Small: Generic Impact Short-Large: Let me know if you have any questions. --rick

Last years (I think they are) Rossi Scratch FS is on S&C (as of 9:30 am central time). 167 & 174 lengths. --rick

I've skied them both and the Foil is a MUCH better all mountain ski than the Scratch. They are both good skis, but the Foil is better out of the park. In the park I would call it a toss up. A personal preference thing. Not knowing what you like in a ski it is hard to say what to get. I own...

Those are the dimensions for the 154 Gun. The 188 is 135-101-126. So that would be over 100. Salomon skis ski fantastically. The new Gun is the old Gun Lab footprint, not the old pocket rocket. Just because you hate them (for whatever reason YOU have) doesn't mean they are bad skis. It is...

I agree that this years ski have a much better fit and finish. It just took them a really long time to get to the shops. --rick

1) You have broken the first three rules of pro-forms (Fight Club reference for the slow of mind). B) Use the Foils in the park. That's what I have as my park ski (in 182) and they rock. If you want a powder ski, get the Gun or Scratch BC or some other real powder ski. The Foil is a great...

Name is Ellie Rose. Now back to the hospital. --rick

I've been a legal adult for quite some time now. Being responcible for creating and now completly providing for another life makes me a real adult. I am 29 (old for NS), so it isn't early and was planned. --rick

Well, I am now an official adult. Wife's water broke at 4:30 this morning and a baby girl was born at 6:38 tonight. I hope it is a sing that she was born on opening day of Wild Mountain (here in Minnesota). --rick

Thanks for helping, but I'm not a kid. First baby is ready to drop any day. --rick

Get a pair of Gotamas. It is German for Goat Hammer. --rick

I say red, everyone else says orange, so probably somewhere in between. --rick

OK, I have been getting quite a few messages from people with interest. I am going to try to answer as many questions as I can. I am 6' 2" tall and 185-190 lb. The outfit fits me a little baggy, but nowhere near gangster baggy. Both the jacket and pants are shells, so you can wear them in...
