I'm a biathlonist. If you don't know their people who ski and shoot. I found footbag for myself later than skiing.

skiing is cool except for one thing... it's too darn cold. Thats why I go water skiing! and wake boarding and such

I ski. Everybody here in Alasa does. I don't think I would call myself a junky though. I go once a month about at this awesome slope called Alyeska. It's about a hour drive from here. Two hours if you get stuck behind something slow that happens alot. I tried snowborading and it was horriable. I feel every two feet all climaxing into hiting a tree.

I snowboard alot, this year I'm working on getting better in the park. I took a wicked fall doing a a 50-50 to fs boardslide 270 out, so I'll probably focus more on kickers for now.

i like to freeride. but i live in the praries, so i just end up riding the parks

. befor i owned my own board i rented some skis when they were out. i prefer cross country skiing better, again because i live in the praries...

Yeah I hate rails I always end up falling, although this year I'm going to get my rodeo down on a nice smooth 10ft tabletop. Yeah that fs boardslide to 270 out would have been rather tricky, but I still say a massive 180 method always looks nice too.

Yeah I go just about every day. Here in Maine, we get shitty snow. You can still see the ground through the snow in some places during Feburary.

It makes me angry. Goddamn global warming.

I just got a new snowboard today! My friend Geoff and I christened it by doing some moonlight runs down an overgrown riverside path we cleaned up. Except there was no moon to be found. The path was pretty narrow and on either side all I could see was black. I know from walking down it during the day that on one side of the path is cliff and on the other side is trees... I don't know if I've ever been so scared/exhilarated. What a rush! I'm keen to head back for some relatively less dangerous day riding.

i just bought a new board on ebay today. an auction ends in a couple days that has step-in boots and bindings. total price with shipping should be like...230. not too bad.
