Whenever I see Endlessseason post pop in this forum I read it, always good to hear from you.
Congrats on the streak especially with that very impressive life blog/injury post.
Also sweet dirty gray beard.

To make it through, there was a point when I just had to give up trying to fight the pain, or trying to treat it. I remember having to mentally check out for a few days during the worst of it. Anyway, I believe I had 5 or 6 weeks to think about how I was gonna get my feet into ski boots. It's been almost 15 years since it happened, yet my left heel still has weird crunching or something grinding in there if I walk barefoot on a hard floor. And when I first put weight on it in the morning.Quote:

For the first few years, I posted many of the experiences on the old Powdermag forum as they happened. What I wouldn't give to have those posts back... Anyway, after that ski forum and the old r.e.c. bulletin board defuncted, I posted quite a bit here for five or so years. Until I got myself a small business that takes so much of my time. Someday, I keep telling myself. ;)
Thanks for the comments, guys. It's good to see so many of you are still here!
Life in general is enough of an obstacle for our normal seasonal pursuits, let alone without the added “distractions” you’ve listed above.
I think I can speak for many of us here saying you’ve truly earned the title , Endlessseason!
Truly impressive work man.

Holy shit, I can’t wrap my mind around keeping this streak alive with double calcaneus fractures. Where will you go for Sept turns?
Edit: never mind, saw Palmer snowfield for Sept turns. Nice.

FKNA! 30 years! Way to go, Ron!
Congratulations.
Amazing story of perseverance through injury.
Enjoyed seeing all the old dogs posting up here too.
That's some serious dedication!
Good on ya.
Absolutely outstanding! Your will and dedication is beyond immense...or you're just batshit crazy! [emoji16]
And if I read it correctly, I'm terribly sorry for your recent loss due to covid. Condolences and all the best moving forward. [emoji1280]
^^^. I think he meant he figuratively died and still has long Covid.
Wow. What an obsession. If I had a summer snowfield I could see making a few turns in summer.
Otoh it’s nice to put the gear away and switch to other sports.
Either way. Damn bro. Quite the accomplishment!!
What is the plan for month 360? That’s a big one.
Hope you’re heading southern hemisphere for a reward.
Big respect. Congrats!
Congratulations.
You’ll have to do a bit of walking for your 30th since TLine will be stopping lifts on August 21

A local I often do turns with has 25+ year, a key to turns every month is to go on the last day of the month and stay for the 1st day of the next month and don't have kids
Re: Palmer in September!
Closing day this season is August 21st.
I only made it to 105 months, but did enjoy Hood turns, too.
Yeah, Sunday I read about T-line's decision to close early despite having enough snow they could've made it to Labor Day this year. I've been a loyal T-line summer customer for 35+ years. It's more than a little disappointing to see they've lost the plot for what put them on the international map in the first place. Their draw has certainly not been their winter season terrain or winter ski experience. Or their accomodations or location. It's always sad to watch the decline of a once successful company or product..
wow. :yourock: :yourock: some day if things get dicey maybe get the word out and we could go shovel a little path at a grassy park for ya from ice rink shavings.
edit: posts from the likes of you and the MD9 party crew (and hospitality from Altachic who was gracious enough to get her car stolen on my first visit here and showed us around Brighton on a ridiculously deep Halloween the second and final visit before the Relocation Vacation) are what inspired me to come out for a mid winter trip to Utah 15 years ago. still here on vacation but finally got a UT drivers license and voter registration. thanks for the inspiration, you have yourselves to blame for one more guy in the lift line!
You know, thinking about this I guess I could do this pretty easily with the indoor option right down the road from me. I’ve never had the urge to sample it as it just seems so, contrived , but maybe it’s just about turns, regardless of where they lead you. Thoughts?
You obviously haven’t been yet. An occasional summer ski “session” there is a novelty. But you’ll be bored before your 2 hour ticket expires. I wouldn’t want to be “forced” to ski there to maintain a streak.Quote:
