Hi Everyone,
With all the extra time on my hands these days I thought it appropriate to finally become a member. I've been involved in skiing for 50+ years in one way or another,. When I won my very first race on a pair of Yamaha AllArounds and leather boots, then I was hooked. Growing up in the the business didn't hurt either. Pick a job I've probably done it- Shop manager, Instructor(level 2 not active),coach, program director, mountain ops, snowmaking, grooming, etc with periodic breaks to get a real job. Always keeping my foot in the door though. Most of my skiing has been here in the east but I have manged to get around the country. Still love going fast and the steeper the better, I might actually buy a helmet this year. Currently skiing on a couple of Head WC rebels and Raptor 140s

You need to specify time zones.
