Gary,

Two quick memories.

From me: Watch out for Ron. The first morning I met and skied with you all at Jackson Hole, Ron tried same tactic on Alice. I'm sure you offered massage services that night, you dog you.

While I did not see the collision as I was way behind the two speeding bullets, It was scary seeing Lynn. She was just laying still and flat on the snow. A true garage sale with poles and skis all over the place.

While it's not in the "code", the more I ski, the more I realize that skiing in parallel or near someone else is an invitation for a collision. For couples like Jim and Lynn who ski about the same pace and are always near one another ( and that's a good thing ), it's a danger that should be discussed more often. Give others in your group plenty of space.

The second memory is from Lynn and learned at Elk. It seems when Lynn first began to post on Real Skiers it was not apparent to all (duhh) that she is a she. Gary was challenging her to join in a December trip by posting "Come'on Guy, join up!". Can't take the Rochester out of him.
