Woohoo for Snowsports!

#1 Unread post by KarateChick »

Yes, :( we have seasons here so that pretty well nixes riding in winter...but at least there's skiing and boarding!! (Just glad I have a winter addiction that's almost as good as riding!)

How about the rest of you... ski, boarding, snowmobile, etc pics...? (Not the greatest pic...too busy skiing to wanna stop and take pictures...but you get the drift...)

:stickpoke: Shorts! Where's your snow skating pics?!?!

Ya right, :wink: there are only 2 kinds of bikes: It's a Ninja... look that one's a Harley... oh there's a Ninja... Harley...Ninja...

Hmmmm........ was wondering where you'd been the last month, KC!!

Unfortunately, south New Jersey is 1) flat, and 2) brown, i.e. no snow. Plenty of mud, though. Don't tell me that scenic little hill is near you? I'm jealous. We've got sand, and pine trees, interspersed with ...... swamps, and more sand and more pine trees. I wanna move to Vermont some year!

It's tough living in an area like Greater Vancouver with scenes like this staring you in the face on a regular basis.

Living so close to those mountains all my life and I've never strapped on a pair of skis...


What a waste :cry:

Why is that pictures file name AlleghenyNationalForestPennsylvania.jpg. The name makes me think the picture was taken in Pennsylvania not Washington.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

You have no excuse with Grouse so close, either! Much less Whistler only an hour or two.

Ahh Whistler - we had many a story come off that mountain :laughing:


KC, no pics yet (talking to self: where are they?). I think DH has them on his phone since we decided no camera this time around. I'll get them soon!

Nice pic by the way, it was gorgeous up there :)

That looks like Lake Louise? I should have skiiing pics but never take the camera. If I did take the camera I not sure that it would survive...I'm not very consistant at keeping both skis on the ground.... :wink:
