Colorado skiing??

[Tequilasun]

Not trying to say what your buddy thinks is wrong, but spending a semester in Patagonia (southern Chile) mountaineering with an 80 lb pack and kayaking left me with HORRIBLE back and I think skiing takes way more out of me than snowboarding. The rapid side to side motion and bump runs kill my lower back especially. That is one reason I switched to doing more boarding. Have fun on your trip, I wanted to make a second run to Jackson but I don't think it will happen. Oh well

I kind of wondered if he was thinking along the right lines as well. I guess we will see.

T-Minus 10 days!

That's sounds like a blast, (except the back problems) that's got to be an interesting thread in of itself..any pics or good stories?

[Domsz06]

that would be great, and an 80lb is not that heavy if you train for it, you will get used to it. I did Philmont three times which is a Boy Scout rance in NM.

[Tequilasun]

80lbs is more than you really need anywhere around here. It isn't too bad, if you learn to roll step, but it will wear you out.

T-minus 9 days.

[Domsz06]

yeah. Only time I have carried 80lbs was when we had to hike to a dry camp and I carried 3 gal of water, plus food and gear. It sucked.

Leaving tonight to go stay at my buddies house, and we are leaving for CO tomorrow morning.

I'm stoked, I hope you guys don't miss me too much!

Oh, that's right, I have a smart phone, I may just pop in to annoy you if I get the chance!

[Domsz06]

ha ha ha, your funny, hope you have fun.
