    Alpenglow TR 11-6

    So today I decided I was gonna build a kicker get a little air time and hang out a bit before heading to watch the state swim meet, turns out they had the lift on and running for ski club memebers. Joined the ski club and started up the T bar for the first time this season. The snow in the main bowl was kinda tracked out but still soft and incredibly deep. The second run I went to the boundery and started reaping the sexiest snow I've ever skied every turn brought snow into my face and over my shoulder.

    Did I mention it was bluebird and there was an inversion?

    I just thought I would repeat that
    Scientists now have decisive molecular evidence that humans and chimpanzees once had a common momma and that this lineage had previously split from monkeys.

    Nice pics AKPM. Here are a few pointers.

    1. Take out your obligatory self-portrait, unnecessary unless it is of you skiing.

    2. Don't post anything about a chick that you met unless it actually went somewhere. I meet chicks all the time when I go skiing. Did she have a large manly back? or was she just a lifty?

    3. How much fresh was there? Were you getting faceshots? Stats help the TR improve.

    take my advice. Otherwise nice contribution to the stoke.

    Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of resume's in the bin without reading them.
