  1. I will soon. Next year my youngest will be 3 and on skis. Shortly after that we will start doing some VT trips and then head out west when they are all at an age to enjoy it.

     

    Now's the time to uproot and go! I'm beating myself for not doing it when mine was that age...

     

    Get the little one on skis out there early and he'll be a master by the time he's a teenager.

  2. We've got nowhere to go... I wouldn't even imagine evacuating... I know the consequences, and if they had a waiver saying "if you don't evacuate, we aren't coming after you," I would sign it... Models still aren't in agreement as to where it will make landfall, but it's not going to make much difference if its right above us or 50 miles either way...

     

    Good luck Ride! Hope you've got some Dogfish Head to party with! :cheers:

  3. mmhmm...i swear if you sneeze...they'll pull you over. They give a ton of warnings, coincidentally, because they want to get rid of you so they can spend more time looking for DUIs.

     

    Lower Saucon are the worst. They once pulled the wife over on suspicion for having tires on the yellow line on a curve...

  4. Oh no, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the "pros" are anyone posting on this forum. I know people posting here are much too civilized, intelligent, etc. to be out of control on beginner slopes.

     

    The "pros" to which I'm referring are those that come out once or twice a year just after watching a weekend's worth of X-Games or something similar, and think they're the next gold medalist by screaming down beginner slopes. They have no consideration for anyone else on the slopes besides themselves.

     

    Must have been hit/miss on Paradise. Early in the season I was going down the side, well away from anyone and a SP told me to slow down. Was pretty much the last time I went down it the rest of the year.

  5. My biggest and pretty much only peeve is about the "professionals" skiing/boarding on beginner slopes at full speed (and typically out of control) where people are still trying to learn to ski/board.

     

    If they think they're so good, they shouldn't be on the beginner slopes, but on runs that don't invoke fear and panic in those just trying to learn to like the sport. Beginners have enough problems without the added stress of crazies coming down behind them making them think they're gonna be run into.

     

    Have to say Blue seemed to have stepped up the patrols on Burma and Paradise this season. The few trips I made down them, showed a lot more SPs out whistling speed violators.
