We didn't end up going tonight. It started raining and got real, real cold. They forecasted winds up to 60 mph. I could just see me paying for 4 tickets, getting 2 runs in and then they close the lifts down-I'd go CRAZY! I can hear the wind howling like crazy outside right now, glad we called it off!
That means one more week without breaking a bone

Moki- the weather looked like it was good for skiing,my wife hates skiing in the cold.I thought about trying to snowboard also but figured it is too hard to board on the double black with moguls-so we bought new skiis and will leave the boardin to my kids.Good to see everyone wearing lids.The wife and I bought some this year and started to wear them also-never know when a tree will sneak up and slap ya in the head.

Yeah, it was great weather. We had a few days when the snow came down and pounded out 9 new inches. On the way up, I was a little nervous because our temperature gauage showed it was -13 F in Driggs. As we started climbing up to the resort, the temperature went up to +17 F. Regarding boarding on double blacks, that is why I am sticking with skiing and boarding will be a part time hobby. I needed that helmet a few times this trip, when I was boarding some young lady took me out from behind.

And thats why we have poles-for hitting and stabbin--I kid I kid LOL.I am sure I will try boardin at some point.As far as the helmets-as a medic when I was with the city,we would go to the local hill for concussions all the time-why no lid. They call it a brain bucket for a reason.There are times I wish they would make a full body suit. LOL

I don't wear a helmet when I ride for 1 simple reason, if I put a helmet on I get a false sense of security and then start doing tricks that I shouldn't be doing/trying anymore, I'm 33 now and I certainly won't heal as fast as I did when I started snowboarding 17 years ago. We got season passes this year and I make my 7 year old daughter wear the helmet, guess I am a hypocrite...

Try being 49 11.5/12ths and see how you heal

[da.bell]

I can tell you that at 40, you don't heal very fast.

I know this is further making this thread but does anyone wear a lid when they waterski or wakeboard.Of course you can let me know if that is a stupid question-I wont take offence.

I bought a helmet a couple years ago (it's purchase was the result of a particularly bad fall), but I don't wear it often. I do get it out occassionally if I'm going to try something new that is most likely going to lead to a nasty crash. For example, if I try a raley, I'm putting on the helmet. I really don't mind the general physical beating that comes with wakeboarding, but the shots to the head kind of scare me.

I do - sounds stupid that I don't wear one snowboarding but do wear one wakeboarding but basically I hit my head pretty hard one time and decided that I would try it and now I've grown accustomed to it. The water landings on the rest of the body don't compare with a snowboarding crash and that's the reason I don't wear one when snowboarding, don't want to try wakeboarding tricks on the snow because I know I will get hurt.

[dtown]

I always wear a helmet when hydrofoiling, wakebaording, or footin. Don't wear one slaloming or surfing. Got a good concussion (sp?) from wakeboarding once.

This would be mine if I could replace the older Nautique with My Tige'

I cant believe that house boat can support the weight of that chopper

How was the S6? Why did you sell it? Those cars are the biggest sleepers if I've ever seen one. Nice 4 door Gallardo.

It was awesome, but a little too sleepy. It was really boring looking and the motor wasn't loud enough. However, the seats were really sweet.

I'm replacing the S6 with an M3 that I bought today, it's being shipped from Chicago. The M3's never disappoint me.

[Timmy!]

What year of M3? What color? Does it have SMG? They are very cool cars! I just saw a video of one that was twin turbo and made 700 rwhp...faaaast!

The M3 is an outstanding car. I want to trade in our 328 and get my wife the M3 convertable. I am sure she would not mind letting me drive it ever now and then.
