Spec...u...lating

I'm not sure I can rely on corn the way the weather is these days... it'll probably be melted down there by the end of the month. There are sections that are much steeper than I show in the pictures, but still not what I'd call 'steep'. It will be fun for me I think.

I know what you mean about steep with this snow. I tried making some turns on a mid grade slope yesterday and with this heavy powder we got I could barely get any speed.

Teleman - if you have pictures you want to share and you don't know how, I can help you. You can email them to me and I'll put them on a Picasa page and link them here, un-edited (that's better for your hosting is it not Johnny?).

You just let me know what you want to post and where - I'll simply help you with the media - no credits needed, it's all you.

Yeah! That would be GREAT! Please...!

(I can even photoshop them and add a huge cyan frame around the pictures if this is what you want... ; )

Yea, that would be great! But how about the 2 of you grow a pair between you and start your own threads instead of mooching off the work of others ? At the very least, you could take his name of the threads so you don't look utterly repulsive! No, keep up the good work: ban someone so they are gagged and bound, then take cheap shots because you are weak, then steal their work and call it yours! Now, that's class!

Thanks, but, have been working with Ron for some time and will continue....I enjoy skiing with and taking shots of the Boys....Working on a computer with dial up not so much....Ron makes it easy and hits in with timely pictures so...We also visited him out there...in North Idaho....Had a real good time, he and his friends made us all feel at home....Will continue as is...... hoping Ron doesn't hit the trifecta!!!!! Unfortunately you will have to put up with my writing...TM

Doesn't have to be hard Tman - and no one said stop working with Ron. Really all you have to do is copy my email address anytime you send him the raw photos - I'll throw them on a free server (even a facebook page if you like), give you a link, and you can tell me what you want posted. It's easy peasy, or we'll just make a sticky post linked to the page. I have no interest in editing or maintaining them, simply helping you put them out there.

I'm not trying to horn in Ron's or the KTB's glory here - I'll take ZERO credit. Just trying to be helpful. Johnny made me a mod so I can help out here anyway you want - think it over.

Suit yourself - it's only your own voice you want to silence.

As far as your back pain you should really consider surgery if you are having pain down your legs. My wife had the same issues - nothing worked: Chiropractors, PT, doctors, pills... an out patient surgery and she is pain free for over 3 months going.
