Going downhill on skis is fun.
Hiking back up in ski boots not as much.

Yup.

I'm breaking the rule, by posting this, the piece Broski was referring to:

It's now riddled with NYSB mentions, added after I made an issue out of it.

The reuse of pictures has been going on a long time. I believe Tim is now aware of my concerns. I sincerely hope he'll reach out to me before using our stuff in the future.

He's a Gore local now, I don't really want enemies on my home hill.

FWIW I met his dad on Saturday at Hickory. Nice guy and super proud papa.

It was 4 separate groups of skiers who all ducked the rope. No one had skins or any way to get back. The K employee was fired.

I think I would lose that one. Pretty sure Tim was a ski bum out west for several years.
