Seeker of “total-nowness” in the Holy ground of Moguls.
Where else can you go where FREESTYLE STILL MEANS IT?

You can find out any secret on the internet. Skiing.com or Freeskier.com have all the secrets on how the world elit athletes get into shape. So 6 days a week I do what others have done before me. It’s not rocket science it’s just alot of leg & core workouts. You can even get the United States Ski/Snowboard Association to send you their secret nija-world cup training techniques, on dvd’s. What a country!

That ads up to ten big road trips this season, I’m sure glad the gas prices have gone down, I’ll bet there are more ski bums out this year. Hope it snows more so we can get this party started. Look for the van with Iowa licence plates in the front row of the parking lot, loved to take a few runs with ya.

Hey, you know what? Ya just don’t see any – open to the public “Down Hill” races any more. I need one. Do you know of one?

Dear Expert-bootjack,
My legs are so bowed, when I ski into the halfpipe I look like a “knuckle-draggin-park-nazis. My outside edges are grabing, what should I do?

BUT ! let me tell you about the first powder day! winter park on the 4th & 5th. there’s nothing like being there when it’s being there. snoochy-booches.
