Thread: Meet the Maggots

Hardcore lurker so I know what I'm getting in to! I started reading the forums back in late 2009, especially the avy forum, and finally got off my ass and registered...just in time for summer! I grew up in central Alaska, didn't get to do much "real" skiing though. Through fate's hand I wound up in Louisiana at the prime age of 18 and was stuck there until three years ago almost exactly when I got laid off, took my cash, sold what I could, and moved to Colorado which had been my dream since high school. This also meant that I missed a lot of years to ski in my physical prime (33 now) but I still have the enthusiasm! Hopefully the body can keep up Now...how to encourage the Snow Gods to not crap on us again next winter? Missed last season save for one day due to lack of time, money, and injury so I feel rather cheated.

Another Lurker, 6 years on this account and how many posts?

My name is Trevor Woods. I'm a graphic artist and photographer, been doing design work around the industry for a while now. I live in SLC, ski all over the Wasatch.

I was ON3P's 6th customer, and recently picked up the job title of "Creative Director" for ON3P. Pretty stoked to be working with Iggy to build the best skis out.

Here's a photo of testing out the old Caylor protos a couple years ago at Alta. It's been a while since I've been on the other side of the lens...



EDIT - also, is there a way to change one's user name on TGR?

^^^ PM one of the mods

Hi jonny!

It is hard to find a forum that is worthy of my presence. I can speak Latin, post funny pictures I find on Google and I telemark ski on the lightest gear with the longest polls. I have double pole planted (DPP)for over 18 years and considered a master pole planter.

your just gonna be a little fish soon as you piss off one the more surly mags

You don't know me or how bad I can be. Lets start with the Name VD=Very Dangerous Ron=is what I go by D=is for dropping knees and Ripper= is how I shred the slopes of Schweitzer. BOOCH

Been lurking mainly in the Wasatch conditions thread but finally gettin my way around the site more, names heff, live in SLC been riding next year's fischer's big stix all season if you have any questions lemme know!
i like making pov edits too:

Pretty new to this forum, have been lurking here recently, time to start posting.

ive been lurking four seasons now....its more fun than using poles and a great icebreaker on the chairs; not so good for tight trees though....

The name's Parker. Been lurking for a while. From SC but been in CO a few years now. Skiing and fly fishing get my rocks off. Made my first post in the fishing forum, looking to be more involved with the skiing side of the forum come next winter. Only got 63 days this year before conditions made the fishing a better use of my time NeedinPow - says it all...

Been lurking anonymously for a season or so, figured it was time to register and meet the mags.

Grew up skiing on winter vacations when visiting grandparents in NH, kept it up as much as I could in high school in MA, then lost touch with the sport through college.

Came back to it in 2009 and fell in love all over again. Skiing fresh powder makes heroin addiction seem like a vague craving for something salty.

Since it seems to be lurker season, I'll play.

Fell in love with skiing over 20 years ago, but an accident of birth (UK - not so many mountains) and lack of money meant I couldn't do much about it for many years. Moved to Canada in 2004, and once I was established here did my best to make up for lost time. Overdid it in 2010 by blowing my ACL, had surgery, missed most of the best ski season in history, but finally got back up to speed and out into the backcountry this year. Shared the slopes of Whistler with the GSA one hallowed day in March. I believe!

I did it all backwards... First I asked questions, then i post here.

Long time Lurker and proud of it! You learn a lot from this wonderful place called the interwebz and finally decided to jump in. I'm another one representin' PNW and have been my whole entire immature 20 years of living. Been skiing since age two on plastic skis and the rest is history. X racer, but that is way to serious for me. I ski for the love of it and always will!

single planker since 97ish (seven springs PA baby), fly slinger since 2000ish came back to SLC after a miserable hiatus in the nation's capital. Looking forward to gettin weird in the wasatch front and beyond going forward.

I like PNW on clear days, summer snowfields, pounding coffee and goating around the mountains and nice jugs.

Hi all, been a lurker for awhile, finally joined up so I could buy some gear from the gear swap area.

I’m an aussie, been skiing my whole life. I have lived in Canada ski bumming and hitting all the awesome resorts of the Rockies. Also skied in the US, Europe, Japan and Chile.

Now I work at our largest resort (though not for the lift company) Perisher. Snow in oz is obviously nothing like overseas but we get the odd good day and there is some interesting terrain. Down here the bc is where its at, lots of easy access terrain, usually stable conditions and no one else around.

Like many other narcissistic gen y'ers I run a blog, mainly focused on bc skiing and surfing in oz with the odd party thrown in www.olasmontanas.com

Looking forward to getting involved, yew!

Hello to all maggots!

I will be spending next season in Denver, skiing summit county mostly Abasin, Breck, and Keystone. I've been lurking a long time and figured its about damn time I made my presence felt.

Really though, I might be about as JONG-y as they come. I just moved out from Illinois and ride on a 90mm waist... So you can expect me on gear swap.

Mold me into a proper maggot.

Found this forum while researching gear. Have seen a few TGR films over the years as well.-Living in Bozeman, MT. We seem to bounce back from CO to MT every few years due to my wife's job. Have a Big Sky pass for this season-Moonlight pass last year.

Have seen a few TGR stickers around town...way cool. Hope to add some stoke of my own someday soon!

Hello from France,
