^Yeah, that frustrated primal scream across the valley sure wasn't in English.
I thought it looked "firm".
Thanks butters.
I used to be with it, then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with, isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to yoooouuu.

The irony of Skier Bob missing my :P smilie while so adeptly using it himself in his very next post. Just, wow.

I'm going to save my most Dbaggerous response and just go with this one:

You'd almost think you were back at that wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnh thread instead of the Backcountry SKI thread.

Carry on


PS, tks for the post below SB.

^Hey now I didn't actually call you a d bag.

You’re cool in my book, so I might dish a little out your way from time to time. Feel free to toss it back at me.

If I got it coming, let me have it, I seriously didn't mean any ill will toward ya buddy. :*

I have a splitboard but I guess that doesn't give me crediblity to post in the backcountry ski thread until I actually walk up a hill and ride it down. I do have several pairs of teli skis that I've logged countless vert on. So I think I'm in the club one way or another.

One of the things I like about the group we have here on the forum is there really isn't any purist wackos. We have a great group of folks here.

Beers on me Jbay next time I see you

BTW, The guy who started this thread is the person to hook up with and do some bc skiing with.

Purists, no. Wackos a-plenty.
