Thanks for the complement on the avatar. I made it from an image I found (stole) here: http://www.vintageskiworld.com/
It's a photo of Dick Durrance ripping it up in New Zealand, I guess back in the 50s, with wood skis, leather lace-up boots and bamboo sticks. I love the sense of wild abandon but the skier is clearly in complete control. I strive for this every run.
Sadly, I do not think any of the Jonny Jay Ski Club will make it. I'm out, Pudd is stuck in Ontario and Jonny Jay is grumbling to himself in Florida.
Yes SBR you DO have an excuse. I don't.
ReplyDeleteI know some who will be there... will check in to see what y'all post this weekend!
Yes, Harvey, if I wasn't on the injury list I would be riding the Jet triple right now. Arrggh.
ReplyDeleteThough I know hard it can be to get back into "ski mode" when you have moved on to spring/summer.
SBR ... love the avatar. If any of the RJPSR skiers post a TR, send me a pic and I'll put up a link.
