  1. That's not a ski area, it's a water park! Oh wait it's not that either.
  2. No. You end up on the parking lot/access road.
  3. Huh? I don't hate Blue. I'll just be spending more time and money at Camelback. If and when Blue gets back to putting the skier first then I will be there more. I have spent a lot of money at Blue over the years and I think I'm entitled to my opinion.
  4. I hope Ski already knew this or he is going to be pissed. Vonn first, Bode second this weekend. Screw China and their downhill............USA..........USA..............USA.
  5. S3P= Sorry, Stupid, Slow Patrollers Can I get a ticket for saying that? I better be careful they might wire tap me.
  6. Tickets! Tickets! TICKETS! What a bunch of small town cops! Idiots.
  7. The whistle thing is out of control. They don't know what fast is. 75% of them can't ski to save their own life, let alone mine. Don't get me wrong most of them give great treatment but the power trip is over the top. The show did a good job of showing that!
  8. This show is doing a good job of showing how big of an asshole many of the patrollers are. Big power trip.
  9. What's with Schultz? I'm waiting for him to say "I know nothing".
  10. I'm not sure I could handle Blue patrollers in HD. It would be like having a skunks ass right in your face!
  11. You are correct, a torsion box has fiberglass all the way around the core. Laminate skis don't have fiberglass on the sides of the core, just above and below. Tecnically all torsion box skis are a torsion box with the top and base laminated to the box. I don't know how it would be possible to include the topsheet and base inside the box because then you would have a fiberglass base and topsheet.
  12. That's not true Trevor. Laminate construction and Torsion Box are very different. All modern skis are not torsion derivatives. Skis have been made as laminates from the time they started using multiple materials to assemble a ski. It's just layers of material stacked and glued. They were heavy! Companies went to torsion box when they went to foam cores to lighten the ski. The box of fiberglass around the core allowed less weight but still offered edge hold. A foam core laminate would break easily. Now that strong lightweight materials are common, companies are going back to laminates. Bottom line is they just flex and ski better. They still use torsion box for lower priced skis since they can keep the price down by using cheaper materials. AND yes some skis have torsion boxes with laminates above or below the torsion box, but not many. Just my 2 cents.
  13. My daughter would kick your ass!
  14. New school pictures come out in a couple weeks.
  15. Sounds to me like your shop is over buying twins. You have to carry what the customer will buy. Most customers will never ski switch so why would they want a twin? There are plenty of great non twins out there.
  16. No poker. My wife calls it AA night.
  17. The Blue brochure says it's on Monday nights. What gives? I have AA meetings on Wednesdays!
