I probably can't keep up with you, but I'm thinking Winter Park. I still can't really do bumps and trees are questionable for me on my skis. I I have however committed to skiing at this point, so I'm not switching back to my board.

This kind of begs the question - what in the FUCK do you ski at Winter Park?!? I mean, besides trees and bumps, there's nothing else there except long traverses.

The steep* sections are the ends of those long traverses.

You know, in all of my collection, I have not a single "assault rifle", nor a single modern sporting g rifle....... I would still wager I can perform much more quality work with my precision collection than any "assault rifle", or msr.......

Kinda wish I could go back to shooting. Did some sport shooting as a kid but that was a long time ago and having a zillion hobbies kinda makes you suck at all of them so I dropped the guns

That's a fair statement......

In all seriousness, there are a few nice groomers at WP/MJ:

- Sleeper (nice and steep, too!)
- Cheshire Cat
- Cranmer on a slow day

Indeed. That far side on WP is very nice for a moderate skier such as myself.

I still have my EU passport and family and friends living there. I can compare the access to healthcare and quality of the services on both sides of the pond a little better than you might think. If you have the money or insurance, the us is great. My wife had both ACLs done by a surgeon who has red sox players' jerseys in his office. I believe the first surgery cost us $150 and the second one a bit more. However, if we weren't insured, those would cost a hundred grand total. On the other hand, I hear plenty stories of bribery and delayed care from my family in Europe.

Not sure how treating pro sports players means anything. I had my ACL surgery done by a guy that has done a bunch for my local pro-hockey team. Is that a guarantee of quality?! I am inclined to believe he's good because he pioneered (I've seen the articles in the journals), the hamstring harvesting and grafting technique. Not because he rebuilt Alfredsson's knee.

You fuckers are DEAD to me.
