Quacker Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hooray. I went skiing for the first time of my life this MLKJr weekend up in Winterplace, West Virginia. Had a lot of fun, managed to ski pretty well after my rear became aquainted with the snow about 20 times. Ended up going down a few moderates (no black diamonds, thanks).Here's a picture of me looking goofy with all the snow stuff on.http://lebanonbaptist.org/sitebuilderconte...rpictures/4.jpgMore can be found herehttp://lebanonbaptist.org/id45.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiuel Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Artificial snow, berk! (Clear from the pictures that it was artificial snow!)Between 12 and 16, I used to ski a lot. It faded with time when my sister switched to snowboard (I was then alone, since I hated snowboard) and when my father switched to snowshoe. I could probably still ski, and I can go on most trails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 What makes you so sure it's artificial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yiuel Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Lorian : Look on the website. You have a photo where you clearly see the mountain's natural slopes : it has no snow on it. This is how I implied. Quite used to distinguish the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uppy Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I love skiing! I would really like to try snowboarding though. One of my brothers does it and loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacker Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 @YiuelThe first day (Sat) the blowers were on with the artificial snow. Saturday night and all day Sunday it poured snow (from the sky), so on Sun there was real snow. All the roads were iced over and snow was everywhere, not just the ski place.

AK_Thug AMish Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I've been skiing for a few years here at home before going out west with my uncle for a week. I skied at Alta in Salt Lake City; it was just amazing. Now I can't ski in Ohio, out of disgust So if you want some of the best skiing in the world, try Utah/Colorado.

Red_08 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Most of my friends were gone skiing recently.Me, I can't Ski. I would LOVE to try in Colorado though. I've been there once on a week long mountain retreat, but there wasn't enough snow to ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeZar Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 hate snow. We have snow pretty often where i live, and you really get sick of it after 16 years with snow in 6 of the months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 hate snow. We have snow pretty often where i live, and you really get sick of it after 16 years with snow in 6 of the months We finally got snow here. I think about a foot fell within 6 hours or so here. And after 17 years of having it, I was missing it for awhile here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av_nefardec Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Eek, looks like you're using snowblades! I'm strictly a downhill skier - no snowboards, cross country skis.I used to be a pretty good skier since I took lessons for several years when I was younger. Unfortunately I stopped for some reason and now my skis and boots no longer fit me.I live so close to so many resorts in NY now too, but I have no time to go I have fond memories of skiing into the snowboard terrain park right next to the snowboarders with my friends and doing the jumps and pipes. Some of the best terrain was always on the edge of the resort, with natural drop-offs and jumps that were quite high.And skiing down slopes that were so steep as you weave down them you can touch them with your hand *envies the europeans who can go to the alps* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
