GT40 needs love.

Depression sucks. Several people close to me have had bouts with it and it was hard not only for them but also the people who cared about them. The good news is that it can be overcome. Hope you can overcome it. Besides winter is coming and so is deep powder and that will help any skiers depression. I dont' doubt that you'll get through it.

You got that right for sure!!!

I have been practicing back flips on 2P's trampoline. I think I got it. We get some good pow at Basin, and Im pulling a back flip on my snowboard.

Action pics of me would be a lovely thing to see this year. The board is already waxed up. Binders tightened. Im READY!!!!

I seriouly can't wait to see me slutting myself on the BB. Then I will feel complete.

I feel so amped right now just thinking about getting some................plus I see High Life tonight at USU!!!

You coming up by chance to see some good ski porn??

Hi dad! We left some "presents" for you on the kitchen floor!

**Beaver** · 10-21-2003, 02:47 PM

Who you callin' pervert?

It seems you have kept your sense of humor intact. I'd be depressed too if I lost 3 wives.

Good luck.

GT- good to hear that things have improved. Like Sluff said, you are never truly alone with us watching your back. Heather, Myself and our four-year-old are staying at the Peruvian 12/11-12/14 and hope to make some turns with you. I'll buy the cocoa after skiing.

Hey, MD9's thread has also been a cure, at least for me, for some of our own maggot wounds (maybe not Pinner's herpes

) since it reminds me why I spend so much time around here: we are real friends, bound by a shared passion and zeal for living, and despite the fact that our landlord upped the proverbial rent at powder, we're still picking each other up and sharing the "stoke" - we have many miles yet left in us, and many epic days to share.

Thanks to MD9, MOE, and GT40 for leading the way with their kindness, sharing, and infectious enthusiasm - we owe you guys a lot!!

Glad to hear you're doing better GT40. We'll make some turns this winter.

I learned something today

"A farmer and a neighbor of Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, Rockwell became an early convert and journeyed with the Saints, as they called themselves, from New York to their several stops in the Midwest and finally to Salt Lake City. The guerilla fighter and bodyguard to Smith earned the nickname "The Destroying Angel," a sobriquet that was reinforced when Rockwell got to Utah and became an Indian fighter, hunter of cattle rustlers, bodyguard to Brigham Young and, in general, the Mormon muscleman."

Rockwell was a badass, no way around it.

If you travel, make your way to Tahoe and I will be able to return the favor of the amazing tour of SB you and Stoy led us on last year. In fact, I will video and photo you during the tour, burn the images on a CD and give it to you to keep. And, I will throw in a guestroom to boot.

If you are lucky, I will convince Splat to pull himself away from PM Gear to ride with us.

Because we all only have one set of feet... yours. Remember?

This brings up a very important question. All maggots are manifestations/figments of iceman's imagination... are the minions the same? And does iceman actually run THIS board? Think about it. ONS is a maggot, and a figment of iceman's imagination. Is iceman *gasp* GOD?

[/carrying an old joke waaaaaay too far]

GT40: two of my friends have pretty serious issues with depression, so i have second-hand experience with what you're going through. I'll tell you what I told them: anything I can do to help, I'm here. Ain't no rhyme or reason to depression, so you just have to find something that lets you forget about it for a while. I know you have skiing, but I'd advise you to find something without an 8 month long off-season.

Hang in there dood, and drinks are on me (non-alcoholic, for your mormon tastes, and also because i'm not old enough to buy beer).

Will this guy ever have to buy a drink again? At least you know you'll never be thirsty, GT40.

**crstlextrm** · 10-22-2003, 12:13 AM

skiing is definetly the best way to self medicate depression. My stepdad died febuary 2002, it really sucked because we were just getting to be on good terms with each other and were planning on going on our first ski trip together, i really wanted to show him how good i had gotten in just a few short years. needless to say i took his death really hard (he was only 36) what really helped me was skiing the day before his funeral. Although i spent much of that day fighting back tears, the beautiful bluebird day in the mountains helped me alot. anyway, feel better

Best Wishes GT40!!!!!
From everything i have heard and read about you over the years, you are one awesome induvidual. Cheers, SS

**GT40** · 10-22-2003, 08:30 PM

Thanks again guys for all your kindness. But I'll soon not be able to surf the BB, without demanding praise and adoration being heaped upon me, in abundance.

I guess we all have our trials to overcome. If it's not depression, it's parking ticket or girlfriends.

I am really ready to start hikiing for some turns.

GT - Anytime you want to go skiing, I'm with ya, dude. Anywhere.

**GT40** · 10-22-2003, 08:52 PM

LPH, Splat, and others. I'll take you up on your invitations to come ski. I just got to get off my lazy butt and do it. So I'll email more about dates when the resorts get open. Keep me up to date on the snow conditions. Thanks for the support.

never had a parking ticket nor been depressed and the girlfriend is working out well, but I have to go study and that just plain sucks.

That and I gotta figure out a way to get my ass out of bed to beat Xover to first chair of the season at Alta.
