    Tentative Introductory Mini-T/R...

    Hello one and all.
    As suggested, I am a new member (and longtime lurker) so I ask that you be gentle with me, although given the rampant cyber-flaming that takes place here on a regular basis I feel sure my plea is futile. Anyhow, I feel a mini-t/r is as good an introduction as any so here ya go.

    Apologies for the poor picture quality and lack of actual skiing pictures period: none of us are really into photography and therefore none of us are willing to sacrifice a line to take snaps. Sorry.

    A short report of a day hiking laps in Val d'Isere france. This is a ridge that last season nobody but us skied, and the same is true this season, despite being in full view of the lifts. The hike is around 45 mins, give or take depending on your daily intake of cigarettes and quite tricky- steep up at first, then knife-edged at times along.

    One side (towards Val d'Isere, lookers left in photos) is steeper but much less vert. drop. maybe 40 degrees, 20 seconds down if you straightlined. Other side (towards Tignes, lookers right in photos) is more varied and longer but less steep and tricky cliffed entrances. Take your pick...

    Cool pictures, but I can't see the naked sister/girlfriend in them, maybe I'm missing something?

    oh so posting pics can be done the same way as on newschoolers (*gasp* right)? so if my pics are up on ns can i just do [IMG]nsaddress.jpg[/IMG] ?

    sorry about the lack of intimate pics, my sister is 13 so i wasn't sure if naked pics of her would be kosher and my gf is black- not clear if you guys are down with interracial shit... do they have black people in utah?

    i guess i could have put pics of my mum in here but i doubt anyone would enjoy that.

    As promised, a few other random pics from this season in Val...

    Like couloirs? You'll love the Aiguille Noire de Pramecou, Tignes!


    You'd love the Couloir des Pisteurs too...


    Bro in the throat of the beast...


    Chardonnay Couloirs: not to be sniffed at...



    So there you have it- the thing I love most about couloirs is that they have names! Names that people are familiar with. This facilitates claiming them in the bars during apres ski. I've found there's nothing chicks love more than a guy with big skis and a well-honed claiming technique ;-)

    I would recommend smacking your brother about the head and throat if he sideslips something that beautiful ever again before you get to drop in.

    So he could have made turns for the first 10 meters or until he could see his line but he decided to sideslip? Bad form is bad form is bad form.[/style police]
    Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.
