    did YOU know?

    Did you know that if you get struck by lightning and live, your chances of getting struck again are substantially higher than they were for you to be struck in the first place? life is too short to have any regrets

    getting electrocuted

    Those fly swatters are fun, but they definately leave patterns burned into you skin. Personally, haven't gotten too many shocks, but I've seen old school electricians lick a finger and quickly shock themselves to see what voltage was running in a house. I also watched a friend zap himself...

    wheelchair skiing

    you'd probably have better luck finding videos if you searched for mono-ski (1 ski under the seat) and bi-ski (2 skis under the seat). There should be a good amount on a Para-olympics site, but I'd also look up Adaptive Ski Schools (the more known ski schools should have some videos). life is...

    Okemo

    if I remember right, there were a few down rails, a battleship box, a rainbow box, and a flat-down box in Blind Faith, The Dew Zone had the C-box, but that's about all I remember off the top of my head, I would expect that their might be some crowds this week, isn't school vacations this week...

    Okemo

    The pipe is in pretty good shape, if you catch a sunny day the left wall will soften up, but the right wall will most likely remain solid. There are a couple decent rails by the pipe and a decent sized step down next to the pipe. Nor'easter had some pretty big hits, not that long, but they'd...

    rust

    If they were exposed to salt and sand, then the edges could need to be ground (the salt corrodes more than just surface rust), but from the sounds of it, you'll need to clean the bases as well. life is too short to have any regrets

    How Do you get to vermont

    rt 89 to exit 1 (rt 4), follow rt 4 towards woodstock (I think), that will take you to the Killington access road. If you go to Okemo, follow rt 4 until you see rt 100 (I believe), follow rt 100 to Okemo access road. life is too short to have any regrets

    How Do you get to vermont

    flying into Manchester, NH is also an option, but again its about a hour and a half. There is also a small airport in Killington I guess, go to this link, it shows where you can catch a puddle jump from to get there: http://www.vermontskiresorts.com/airline.cfm/vt07.htm If you fly into...

    Funny Joke Made By a Snowboarder!?!

    I was once told by one of the most respected boarders at my area 'you're not a skier, you're a snowboarder that skis' - this was back when skis weren't allowed in the park, but I was there anyway, and I was the only skier there before opening and after closing fixing jumps and the crappy ditch...

    NS name in Reality.

    Mines derived from my last name when my friends ( a little intoxicated) forgot/were too lazy to say my whole name, dropping the Mc. Its just stuck from there, and there are a lot of other derivations as well. life is too short to have any regrets

    Stargate SG1

    The original movie was kick-ass. But I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a startgate freak too, but I didn't really like Atlantis too much, maybe I didn't give it time, but I thought it was lacking something. life is too short to have any regrets

    PSIA Park & Pipe @ Okemo

    Mark said he was signed up and flights were booked, so 3 of the 4 currently signed up would be, you, me and Mark, not sure about who the fourth would be. But what doesn't make sense to me is why they would hold the Mountain Creek Beginer Accredidation with only 4 people attending, but they are...

    PSIA Park & Pipe @ Okemo

    skier150, I think we might be driving Albany nuts (at least a little), I just called to verify my fax got there yesterday, and was asking how big the Mountain Creek event was (I guess only 4 people - so hopefully we can pull two people from it). The office was very helpful to me, but I think...

    PSIA Park & Pipe @ Okemo

    I had to pay a late fee ($25), but even at $175 it isn't a bad price (plus if you just took the Mountain Creek event, they might waive the late fee. Unfortunately, yes they accredidations need to be taken in order so you would have had to taken the first one already. life is too short to have...

    PSIA Park & Pipe @ Okemo

    I just called PSIA in Albany, and I am faxing up my info now, so I'm in. But there is a problem. We need at least 6 people to attend for PSIA to not cancell the event, and right now, I'm only the fourth one to sign up. People don't realize that we (instructors) need to work with PSIA, and get...

    fucked up my grab

    is your top toe pressure set properly (salomon's have that adjustment), did you have any snow or anything (like a pant leg) caught in the binding (messing up the forward pressure. It honestly could have been a bunch of different reasons it happened. life is too short to have any regrets
