Rode up with a woman at Alta who was 89. Said they let her ski for free and she gets in 50 - 60 days a year. I hope thats me in 45 years. (except for the being a woman part)

Love, love, love St. John! We got married on the beach at Trunk Bay at sunset. Spent alot of time at Cinnamon Bay and Francis Bay. Great snorkeling everywhere. Cheap beer, cheap rum. Any topless...

Light and playful.

Better use Grey Goose or Tito's, just to be safe. Yes, there's enough alcohol in vodka to kill the nasties. I put vodka in the airlock when homebrewing to kill any contaminates.

Me likey the 182 Salomon Czar. 111 waist, big tip rocker and camber. I'm 155 too and the flex is great. Stable everywhere but not planky. Crushes everything.

If you have small children around, definitely budget for an automatic cover. Where I live, the city won't issue a permit unless its included in the bid.

Chuck Taylors FTW!

There's mines over there, there's mines over there, and watch out those goddamn monkeys bite, I'll tell ya.

Wait. People are paying $500 to have their pets cremated? Where would you put the chihuahua ashes? They'd probably fit in a shot glass.

I have them on my 4 Runner. Not the greatest in the snow, but great everywhere else. Quiet, good ride and handling. Really more of a "car" tire than an "SUV" tire. Next set tires will be the Michelin...

I've been on the Maker's tour. It is a little on the touristy side, but it was still enjoyable. They let you taste the fermenting mash, that was cool. No tasting of the finished product, but you can...

Heard on the lift today (from a 40 something speculating on whether her boyfriend would pop the question). Never heard that one before. Anybody know where it's from?

On the lift today here in the midwest -

Gaper 1: They built a 100 foot gap here a couple years ago.
Gaper 2: Did you hit it?
Gaper 1: Nope, I didn't ski here that year. But I saw a picture.

Because they're both made from corn??

Good call on the Evan Williams single barrel.

My folks used to heat primarily with wood. They had a single 12x12 vent in the master that was almost directly over the stove on the first floor. Worked fine.

Transfusions on the rest day seems to be recurring theme with doping allegations. Maybe the top contenders should be assigned chaperones for the rest days.

Fixed it for you.

Enough with the frenchy red wine stews:

Guinness Stew

2 lbs stewing beef (bison works well too)
2 Tbs flour
1/4 tsp cayenne
salt and pepper
3 Tbs olive oil
2 large onions, large dice

Drinking Evan Williams Single Barrel right now. mmmmm

And skiing is only 4 hours away!

Weber++++ Best bang for the buck, imho. Mine is going on 12 years of year-round use. Replaced the flavorizer bars once, might replace the burners next year.

The guvment stimulus has a tax credit for putting in energy-efficient windows - 30% of the cost up to $1500. Check that out.

Be straight up honest. You needed a job, and took your current position while you looked for a position in the field you have experience in. Does your resume show that experience and support that the...

Just announced on CNN that she has passed. Very sad.

Aggressive beginner = out of control idiot

A different view: With a 10 month-old she may be suffering from post partem depression, which can make women do some crazy-ass shit. Sometimes they do fine with the first child, then number two comes...

Me in too.

2nd on the sear and finish in the oven method. The sear seals in the moisture and develops a flavorful crust. I usually go with some cajun seasoning and sear in olive oil. Don't overcook, I think...

Lyndsey's pulling out (smirk) of Thursday's GS to get more treatment on her hand. Should be good to go for the slalom on Saturday.

Bump for price drop - $200 shipped.

Yup, powerstretch, capilene 2 or 3 depending on the temp. My lower half sweats huge. My powerstretch is Nike, got at an outlet for $30. No need to go for the primo brand, its all the same fabric.

I wouldn't use it for table top.

Nitro has been on Fuel TV for several years.

Get a snuggie, duh.

Picked these off of eBay and they're too big for my munchkin feet. They are pretty much new as far as I can tell - very few scratches on the soles and no binding marks. The footbeds have been ground...

Start with this:

Ski Starlight, near Louisville Kentucky

Open only a few years back in the 80's before it went belly-up. 500' of vert. The people who developed it obviously were not skiers (or businessmen for...

The Gaper next to me on the lift: So, did you buy those skis in Utah?
Me: Uh, no, I got these online.
Gaper: Well did they come out of a rental program then?
Me:Uh....
Gaper's friend: Dude, he...

Tony, seriously, you can do better than that.

What Mcsquared said. Take all the related out of pocket expenses (including mileage) as a charitable contribution. Itemize it, and have support for every number just in case you're audited.

Your symptoms sound familiar. I had the same issues about two years ago - pain/stiffness in neck, down through scapula, and radiating down the arm. Happened after I fell asleep on the couch...

You may want to sharpen them before every run just to be safe. .5 & 3, at the very least.
