  1. nah, this is the instructional clinic. run a few drills, they set up gates in a slalom set and you run them until you drop getting critiques/pointers from the coaches - a major blast! monday nights are the beer league. i'm on the fence this year - that extra night on the hill 'bout cost me my marriag i better seriously consider my options this year if it comes down to one or the other i'm gonna go with the tuesday thing, way more time on the snow...

  12. website sucks and so did the tent sale - smaller than i remember and didn't find what i was looking for
  13. wow no crashes...hmmmm that doesn't sound too fun anyway the point about the kids (spouses, friends etc.) wasn't questioning your abilities, just about the student/teacher realationship working way better with some distance between the two, not that it can't be done - i just think it's a better experience for both. i do the same when coaching, i''l usually have my son work with one of the other coaches for one on one or small grooup stuff.
  14. having the avalung not in his mouth is like riding with your helmet hanging from your belt buckle - dumb no? the wimpering noises and hands quivering really indicate how effed he really could have been...
  15. too bad i'll be out of town for the weekend or i'd tell you to bring your bike out for a ride - there's some fun trails right around the corner, think i'm gonna hit it for a bit after work today

  19. I guess we'll find out tommorow....where's ski? i miss those bode bashing threads
  20. cool, that was probably the best time of my life... savor every minute. i stayed at villa glori - up via flaminia towards the olympic village. looong walk. top ten memories from rome in no particular order: getting chased (and caught, in sites of submachine gun) by the caribinieri for ripping down posters seeing robin zander from cheap trick get pants'ed by a girl while drinking birra rosa in a bar behind the pantheon watching the mob destroy the city after a world cup semifinal win - forze roma! coronetti with peroni huge bar fight while the violent femmes performed jesus walked upon the water soooooo much architecture and art the american movie theatre in trestevere siesta seeing pat metheny and john mclaughlin/mahavishnu penne arrabiata, real carobanara
  21. i'd like to be there right now! http://www.onthesnow.com/austria/kaprun/skireport.html
  22. thats awesome...i was at temple u rome but spring ('85 ouch thaats old) we set off - about 6 of us, to ski before school started in january but couldn't, was one of the coldest winters on record and most areas were closed - people were literally freezing to death and it took all of our time to travel by rail from luxenbourg to rome. rome actually had like 4-6 inches of snow when we got there (first time in 20 or so years we were told) and kids were sledding on the capitaline. didn't ski during the semester, too much other fun stuff to do but after wards headed from a week on the beach in greece to vienna (crazy town) then kitzbeuhl. it was late may/early june but there was no snow left, locals told us to head to the glacier at kaprun (infamous for the tragic incline fire) so we did. had great spring skiing for 2 days than got dumped on - knee deep plus super light po. my buddy wouldn't go out but i ended up skiing all day with socks on my hands and a sweater tied turban fashion since i had no gloves or hat - the skiing bag man! sorry, i guess that rant didn't help much but it made my day remembering it... i think t*maki did some skiing there and from what i remember it wasn't real easy to get to from rome though... and our original plan in january was the swiss alps... we had a connection in bern (i think) but got snowed in for few days
