Thanks for the posts.
I grew up nearer to Sunday River - about 30 minutes away - and started skiing there in '65. My parents were well ahead of their time in picking up skiing. In '72 and '73 they got bored and we skied at Sugarloaf for a couple of seasons. Back when I was a kid, neither of the two hills was anywhere as developed as it is today. Sunday river had pretty much 3 teebars. A lower Cascade / Punch teebar, and an upper Cascades / Punch teebar (that you could access the snowfields, Lazy River etc) from. There was also a beginner teebar. Their logo was a viking hat. Since I don't know who the other BB is, I'm guessing that we're not related - but stranger things have happened.
In high school I realized I was a lot better XC racer than downhill racer, so I raced XC through high school an college. I didn't do a lot of downhill for a few years in my 20's and picked it up again in a bigger way when the kids got to a good age. Most of them (the kids) and kick my butt now.
I'm assuming that Bushwacka is the same person that goes by a similar name over on Epic. He sounds like a heck of a skier and Mt Biker as well. I'd be happy to have him disagree with me - he'd probably be right.
Liam - I was looking at your copy of Expert Skier just yesterday feeling guilty about keeping it over the summer. I have watched video while on airplanes several times, and mostly used the book for cross referencing. Let me know if you want me to bring it to the refresher or to the MTB trail opening at the Warfield. Has a date been set yet? Harb has some great points. I like to keep my bag of tricks as big as possible.
Thanks for the welcome!
