Meet the Maggots

**SkiDork** · 07-31-2006, 12:04 PM

I met a few maggots over the weekend - turned out to be good folks. What the hell???

I've known MtnMan for a good many years now, wouldn't have the balls to try half the stuff he does, but love listening to the stories. Also good buds with Sprite and Steve (pube-in-my-taco?)

I'm SkiDork - live on LI NY, wife Tyrolean_Skier (a true skiing fanatic), 2 kids, one who's 9 and already better than me, other is 5 and will be better than me in a year or so...

We have a place at K-Mart and are there almost every weekend.

I love Pow, which means on the east coast I love trees...

Hi,

Just occured to me I never introduced myself, sorry Jong manuever! Pretty much signed up right after I discovered the board searching the web for avy info. I really dig all the trip reports not to mention all the other killer content of this community. I live in Boulder and try to get out as much as possible backcountry snowboarding, mt. biking and climbing mountains. Anyway good to know all of you!

Sure are a lot of homos here.

Just kidding... SLC should spice up your life and if that doesn't, TGR will. Welcome, as a fellow JONG, and enjoy the fun... (hint: The Padded Room may offer a cure for "boring"...)

Out of the lurker closet.
I just moved to the Koots from the flatlands of Oil Country. Skiing and mt. biking are my thang and I finally get to do them by just stepping out my door. This site has already given me great tech info, made me piss myself laughing and provided more stoke than I know what to do with. Rock on!

would anyone be able to explain the whole bacon thing? thanks.

**Pow4Brains** · 08-10-2006, 09:02 PM

As long as you eat or love it on some level you will be accepted.

**taynton** · 08-10-2006, 11:30 PM

excellant. I have been known to enjoy certain pork products from time to time. I was worried it was some crazy mel gipson-esque cult that had infiltrated the maggots... mmmmm..... bacon...... I think im going to have some. Back Bacon sandwiches. I'd TR if I had a camera...

**IGigron** · 08-14-2006, 10:13 AM

Hello everyone

My full pseudonym is I Gigron Mormon (psuedo SSN 078 05 1120) which I mainly use on junk mail subscriptions, useless telemarketing polls and occasionally online forum activity. I'm 41, live in Central Mass, grew up not skiing (playing hockey though that counts for something), learned in my early 20s at Wachusett and loved it since. I mainly ski in VT now, thanks to having a family home near Stratton. I love SLC/Utah since discovering it on a trip about 10 years ago. Please don't take every comment I make the wrong way - will try and use emoticons or whatever to convey my carefully cultivated sense of east coast sarcasm. I'm just happy to be here and looking forward to the next snowfall.

Sounds great... I am happy to be a part of this...

**PNWbrit** · 08-21-2006, 02:59 PM

You're part of it like an antelope is part of the leopard that's eating him.

Be the bacon.

Kinda like sitting at the top of a nice cornice, eventually you have to say "Fuck it" and jump in. Ninjabirdman's been sending me links to incredible stoke all over these forums for a few months now, and after my issue of Powder arrived Friday, I figgured I'd better stop watching and start doing. Popping my forum cherry here and now.

I'm from Seattle, lived in Berkeley some growing up, back to Seattle and I've been in Menlo Park/Palo alto since '99. Grew up skiing good old Bald Mtn w/ the family. Got into swimming thru HS & College, put a damper on the mountain sports. Following retirement 2 years ago I got back on my '95 Burton Air 55 and got in 30+ in Sun Valley, Alpine Meadows, and assorted Tahoe. I got back on ski's last season, a pair of Rossi B2's, and God it feels good! Season passed at Kirkwood last year, looking at Alpine Meadows for this Winter. Also looking to pop my bc cherry this winter.

Hope to hang with you mags and maggettes in the future, after all, winter is near!

i would totally do it, if I could. But the title can't be changed, unless by an admin. Maybe frozen would do it, given his bacon ravings of late??

Oct 2003 here (affectionately known as "the revolution").

And don't confuse Bacon with Basom.

That pretty much covers it for me too!

**ggski** · 08-24-2006, 11:05 AM

First trip down maggot lane...trying to sell last years fatties to finance this years supa fatties...losing the cherry was quick and relatively painless...many thanks to Natty Dread for greasing up the pathway! Already talking about an LCC fatty reunion with Natty and Mooseknuckles...
Golf Pro by profession...of course it is really just a thinly veiled facade to cover my full blown ski addiction. Copper is home, Vail is for pow days, Breck's new lift adds some tasty fun, always the Basin in the spring, LOVE Berthoud...BUT...the Bird is what really pops the wood...sooooo deep...and of course I am speaking strictly metaphysicallly.
Summit newbies and out of towners happy to do a bit of tour guiding to get you off and running...let the flakes start dropping!!!
