    Those are more like a tall compact station wagon. They call them Crossover SUVS cause the station wagon tag does not conjure the correct emotions.

    Instructor - and anything else they would pay me to do, including the morning ski report for the radio stations.

    I did get to ski with the U.S demonstration team though. Huge turns through the bumps.......at 50 mph. Those boys were good! That was after the former short ski era when long boards were king. I had a pair of 205s (my short skis), 210s, and a pair of Kneisel SS 215s (my cruisers, with Marker Rotamat bindings).

    Ahhhh the memories of 210s and 25 yrs old. I also did PSIA and was a race coach till last yr. But I was a little fish in a big pond compared to the real Pros. I did place 1st at the Nationals once. Big deal I got lucky. Do you still ride Oxbow? I've got a couple of years left in me,maybe.

    Yeah — if Chris @ Blackfoot is sporting a new Porsche this spring, we’ll know that we did our part

    You would be familiar with Ingemar Stenmark then, and probably have Gustave Thoeni's book (sp? been a long time).

    Occasionally, I went up last year once but we have been too busy this year. I can still do it, but not like I did then.

    Truck got washed. Had that done little before my 120 day inspection.

    Did laundry, had waffle Hauss for lunch, so cheap. Paid in change. Apparently doing a 34. I'm bored. It's like 45F today, pretty much a heat wave.



    @Dave_in_AZ you going to do geo thermal and cool down the earth sooner? Photo Voltaic? Get some Jacobs ladders going off that free solar power?

    Maybe a wind turbine.
