Ask Me Anything: I'm Jason Levinthal

[Buster Highmen]

What is the stable homotopy groups of spheres, πn+k(Sn), for values of k > 64.?

Which one of your J Skis would you recommend for my home mountain?

Why didn't Gandalf just have the eagles fly The One Ring to Mt. Doom, rather than having hobbits walk it there?

Does this look infected to you? Should I seek medical assistance?

[Timberridge]

Recommend me a ski. I don't care if it's one of yours or from your competition.

It should be a ski for riding in grueling conditions. Refrozen snow, a little bumpy, wind packed garbage, you know, days that are so bad that you have the mountain for your self, because most people can't even handle the crappy conditions.

So basically you want an East Coast ski?

Is the Hoff on a Line product in this video? (watch closely)

[TahoeJ]

Ah, the TGR forums... where day drinking happens. ;-) Jesus H Christ, can we get rid of that infected hand photo?

[El Chupacabra]

If Levinthal answers the brontosaurus questions (and draws a brontosaurus), then I retract the infected hand question.

Besides, after a little Neosporin, it's looking a lot better, doncha think?

Can you catch leprosy from an armadillo?

I think you are going to lose that left arm.

Wow - three pages worth of crap and not a single Wu-Tang question?

Does Masta Killa ski?

Did he have any input into the design of the ski?

Any of the other Wu Tang members coming out with their own designs?

If you get an invited to do a cameo on the next Wu Tang album, what would be your rap moniker?

[BGSTi_403]

I have seen some discussion recently on the potential for knee damage related to the proliferation of wider skis in the last decade.

What are your views on this topic?

What do you think is the optimal ski width from that perspective for East Coast use in variable conditions?

[raisingarizona13]

Well I hope that Jason can appreciate the TGR forum humor and has some fun with this ridiculousness. Hopefully it does not come across as being disrespectful.

With that.......So you are a serious skiing bad ass, a legend and you have done much more than just about anyone will do that posts on here. Me? well I'm just a ski bum that is dealing with some mid-life crisis stuff so as I have asked others in these threads I'm going to ask you......What are your thoughts on becoming older, risk management, and your skiing? Where do you want to be with skiing 10 or even 20 years from now? And be honest, has the growing older been an easy transition or has it had it's challenges? thanks.

Best burrito in Burlington?

[Dexter Rutecki]

Remember that October day in about 2002 on Superstar Lift when you didn't admit to being Jason Levinthal until about halfway up? The funny part that day was when I saw you in the corral and you joined me on the chair I was guessing you were some gaper on borrowed gear who was wearing someone else's ski clothing (assumptions: lesson learned).

Is the Hoff bringing back Tobagan boarding?

I feel mentally harmed after seeing that and that's saying sumthing.

I wish you would stop quoting those pics then

Jason...

Any theory on why El Chupacabra asks so many questions?

What are your favorite resorts to ski in the lower 48? East coast and west.

[Dhelihiker]

What was your High School Prom like?

[tele-ryan]

Jason,

As a pioneer in the way skis are made today, what is your advice to someone looking to become a ski engineer or designer? I'm currently going to school on the other side of the Champlain for mechanical engineering, and looking for any opportunity or advice to help break into the ski industry... (possible intern?) haha. Anyway, thanks for your time, and keep doing you!

I think he named her vagina Phaedra

Yup, I figured he did. I swear, if I had a time machine and other magical powers I would go back in time, be Lee Hazlewood and give Nancy Sinatra a mustache ride that would make Nina Hartley blush.
