@kindlekitten
I could barely ski to save my life. In the event of a life-threatening situation where skiing might just save ones' life, it would be absolutely safe to say I would be better off not skiing.

I'm so totally bummed ;o(. as a hard core skier and instructor I thought a soul buddy had appeared. ahhhhh well

Hey, I dont mind learning. :P Then I'd be true to my name. But they don't make enough snow in NC

I was quite taken by the cover of "The Mystic Christ" by Ethan Walker III. There was nothing about the illustration within the book so I emailed the author. He said it was from a 19th century German book which he no longer had. He had no other information. I asked Mr Google too, and even he couldn't help.

I see a lot of myself in this avatar - sweet, holy, innocent.

Remember when you had the ski-picture avatar.

@thinkpadx : Now that's definitely NOT a good way to entice new people to start ski

Better that we do no try, kk. they would call the firemen!

But if you like to banter about skiing I am game. Two episode. You start. This is the lounge eh?

Performances, records, episodes, whatever.

Mind you, out of competition, I once wrote Souvenir of Constantinople on the snow with just one try. You being a Lady and an Officer can surely appreciate that. There is a trick to it.

Not unless you want to get a ride in a piste machine

ski_power · 08-02-2010, 08:26 AM

Ride IN that thing, or Ride IN FRONT of that thing?
For some strange reason I thought it was alive and chasing skiiers downhill (like the bulldozer from "Cars")
Looks menacing actually

I like Marvin. Although I was not terribly impressed with their interpretation of him in the movie, it is still not too bad.

My avatar says "Free Tibet" - because it's not, and the world is not interested.
