I spent every sunday skiing to my heart's content. I think I once saw Karl do a spread eagle and a daffy while going down the black diamond. My first attempt at the black diamond was when I was nine in 93. I went straight down and ended landing on my binding. It bruised my ass so bad that I couldn't walk for a few weeks.

My brothers and I grew up in the adjacent county and our mom brought us here for lessons when I was 8. The 3 of us didn't wait for our instructor and just pointed them downhill, inevitably ending up in a pile at the bottom. My older brother Raymond ended up nordic skiing his way through college at University of New Mexico, a perennial top 10 Division I team. I'm 37 and still ski regularly having just spent a month in Hokkaido Japan chasing powder. I've also skied in a film called 'Unicorn Sashimi' which you can check out online where I completed a pretty amazing 1 1/2 backflip I've titled the lawn dart. Anyway, point is this place was awesome, bringing skiing to a population that would have otherwise missed out. Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500446458758758157noreply@blogger.com
