OK GT, woods asked for advise, he agreed with what I said and had been thinking the same thing and says he will be working on it next season. It sounds like you're the one sticking their nose where it doesn't belong and then pointing a finger at me. If that's your idea of humor I think it's time for a new joke.

Do you mean «Ok Rod»? Cause I really don't understand... Or else you think I am GT?

You are being very epidermic... My joke was directed at GT and his Trump love, not you, sincerely. Can't see how this could apply to you...

BTW, You stick your nose into his skiing, I do too. Everybody stick his nose everywhere here; that's called a public website. Plus, I agree with you! I sincerely don't understand.

Read the last part of your comment again. It is very awkward to me, to say the least...

I've got no beef with you Rod. You're a positive contributor here. GT is the guy who needs a new joke.

I love skiing. All turns are beautiful. It's all about the feel and the soul of the turns we make.

I love all the advice I get here to make my turns better, however they may turn out.

Let's move on and keep the good vibes going into the summer!

I saw this picture in Switzerland on the wall of a high altitude hut and took a picture of it. This kid shredded at the time, he's probably dead now.

Turn on, arc in, drop down. (with apologies to Timothy Leary)

Ok Al. No offense and thanks for the clarification. I thought that since you quote my joke, well, whatever. Take care man.

Good Morning TM,
This has nothing to do with Woods' post and discussion- let alone any discussion about skiing.
If you want to discuss politics please do it somewhere else- or at least, on the "off-topic" board:
http://www.telemarktalk.com/viewforum.php?f=10

Thanks in advance,
Gareth
Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.

ThanKs lc appreciate the piling on........ on the rock pile....Sure had some great skiing up there and at least once almost got piled in the rocks...Lots of fun!....But the best part was ripping the headwall on 210 e 99's....Sure couldn't do that now but twas wild back then.....One thinger LC....are you saying the new 109's are poorly constructed? Asnes are a bit expensive....Don't know you or how you ski the downhill but construction of skis is important....the old 109's are pretty boss! My problem is the 109 I presently have is far to short especially on the down...have plenty of CC skis for cruising and breaking....but the 109 is probably my last ski I'll ever purchase and they will be the ski to arc on....Arc on, Teleman
