Hello everyone! My name is Jim and I'm a just retired skier from Buffalo, NY. Been skiing since the early 90's and my home resort is Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, NY, where I have a season pass. Not a lot of vertical but a place where they do just about everything else right. I've skied about a dozen other places, most recently a couple years ago a pre-covid trip to Breckenridge where I took my nephew as a graduation present. My orthopedist is telling me to slow down this year because of arthritis in my hips and knee but that's still not going to stop me from getting out on opening day! I hope to make a few friends on this forum and I plan on contributing to the discussion when I can.
