snobee 0 Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Originally posted by db: I have a general rule, if it is popular with the crowds, it usually sucks. Hey db does this go for the exponential popular boom in boarding as well? Glad I'm one of the new minority - you know blank canvas types - who like skiing. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 note the words in my original statement: 'general' and 'usually'. Besides, owning a snowboard and visiting the snow (huge popularity) is one thing. It is what you do with that opportunity that is the topic matter. note 1: by saying 'what you do with it', I am not so much refering to skill level, rather why you own it - to do something popular and cool, or to start drawing on your blank canvass. note 2: the above is probably a little rich coming from a first season type like myself.

damian 0 Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 hem now, thanks for the kind words. However I think you will recal that i spent most of the time bogged in powder and cursing about snowboards as I watched you fly by on those viking skis. By the way, that was about day 15. I have actually got the hang of it a lot more now. Link to post Share on other sites
hem now 0 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Hey db, I was only going fast cos I was trying to lose the guy with the beard. I have a reputation to uphold - if people see me hangin out with guys with beards, they`ll think I too am a pot smoking hippy with dubious hygiene standards. hem now Hey Dan - Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I knew you'd come out strongly against it when you found out just how dangerous it is db. Good on you! Up the Alpine Coed! Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Japanese snow resorts have a broad policy of roping off large areas of trees and i strongly believe that everyone else should respect these rules. At a resort with 100's of people on the mountain I think it is fantastic that only 3 or 4 people actually venture into the trees. The patrol are doing a great job of keeping the trees untouched. Long live the rope policy. Link to post Share on other sites
