Re: Skiing
^Were you associated with a team?
Re: Skiing
i was close to being on the alberta ski team a few times, but could never quite break through. it's very very competitive here, as you can imagine with all the great ski areas we have. I skiied with a small club out of Edmonton (about 4 hrs from the mountains), but we pratically lived in the mountains for the winters.
Re: Skiing
I can imagine the competitiveness. Sounds like a great time of your life.
Re: Skiing
best skiing i ever did was whistler blackcomb. those two mountains are marvelous and the drive up there from vancouver on the "sea to sky hwy" is even more of a treat on a clear day. i've never seen such sights and i've never had such good snow to ski on.
Re: Skiing
my friend from college lives in truckee so kickwood is good, but my good friend from way back has a cabin right outside of tahoe city i definaly going up to make of for the weak showing i had last year, i fucking loving going up there, hopefully this little bit of rain we had last night is a sign of things to come. and do most of you ski? i hate how bro'd out snowboarding is but definalty the way to go for me

Re: Skiing
^^Any recommendations on stuff to do when not on the mountain at Tahoe? Are the casinos any good? Any decent bars/restaurants?
Re: Skiing
we definalty spent a night in reno as a joke, but i came out like 40 bucks up in blackjack, i was wearing a chessey christmas sweatshirt, moon boots, tight jeans and was sporting a hidious stash. its a fun place if you like to makefun of retarded american culture. as for bars in tahoe, it depends where you are, there are some decent ones up there
