I kind of love it when one of the og mags posts after an absence and a bunch of other rarely-seen ogs drop back in to say hey.

4 years into your pilgrimage for success in the business world, and it appears that you've reached some good milestones.
The mountains are always calling. You're stronger than most to have kept your nose to the grind. But I agree with the above- it's time to make a trek back into the forgotten lands. Lord knows you've earned it. Set some PTO aside and find a cold and snowy place to reconnect with what has been missed for so long
May you be blessed with many turns.

buried in Work : let's party like it's `1999 ! !!!
choices --
make 'em ; live with them ;
make More choices : You aren't Done, until you are done and Cold.
I hope you are a Great Dad.
my kids are the sons and daughters of my friends
( some are even parents themselves. . . )
Time marches on :
last week someone asked me If I wanted anything else --
" Just more Time. . . " was my response for the first time...
I Am Glad to be old --
Life hasn't always been Good , But
it has been an amazing adventure...
I miss 'Blue' and I miss my Dad ;
I wish I had been a good husband.

postscript.
three things :
Dad had Alzheimer's --
we sat : did not need to say anything. I would read him to Sleep...
I told him, tomorrow will be my last day for a while -- ;
as we got ready to move him to the dinner table the next day, I could see Dad was gathering himself and I waited ( Mostly by that point, he was down to One and two-word responses )
Dad look at me and said,
" it sure has been a treat. "
I get that forever : it was the last time I saw Dad.
Someone asked Tom Where he got his Nice ski equipment., and Tom said,
"from my friend, tj ... "
Be sixty ; have The thirty year old say You Are his friend. keep That (too) ( hell, YES ! I Will ! )
it is in The Book : love thy neighbor as thyself...
love ain't about romance or physical Stuff : it's about looking out for each other.

You were one of the first online kooks I met in the lift li e
Alta with harpo, then, well good times came thick and fast.
Can't remember what I can talk about and what I cant.
Glad we keep in touch.
Go buy new boots. Need to teach the boy. Trust me, it's the best skiing.

It's kind of disappointing that an image search for "frozenwater nipple" doesn't bring up shit.

We all figured this out from scratch. There was no template for an online community. Plenty of triumphs, plenty of bullshit.
It turns out Aspen Extreme was right: skiing really is the easy part.
I find it cognitively dissonant that the people here and talking shit here have been so important to me over the years, but it’s nearly impossible to explain that to anyone outside the group.

I don't have any business in this thread of oldsters, cept maybe to suggest that the decline in post quality could potentially correlate with the shift away from the PC for forum posting.

Mobile app or Tapatalk. You could do it, too, with yer newphangled smartfone!
I wonder what the spread is. I bet most are now on mobile. I don't take the time to sit down at a PC unless I'm processing photos for a TR. Can't view the forum at work, either, so I'm 90% mobile.
Ok, back to reminiscing

I'll be eligible for my 20 year pin in about 2 months. Fuck me! What happened?
Some serious laughs and coffee sprayed on a few keyboards because of this place. The first maggot I met was Rehabit. I saw a group of 3 or 4 people standing in front of the map at the top of the lift at Red Mountain so I slid up and asked for change for a nickle. I was so fucking surprised to have found the only other maggot on the mountain on my first attempt. Apparently he and I didn't check the board, Whitewater got snow so the plan changed.
I don't post much but I still lurk and laugh.
Last year was the first year since 1970 that I didn't put my skis on. I made up for it by riding my fat bike in the snow 80 days.

Wow 20 years. Were you on the old k2 board? I feel like it went from there to PowMag. Could be wrong. Long time.
