Australia or Austria?

Do you need someone to run your boat this season while you’re on the slopes?

No, not me, I know how to ski, and I ski under control all the time, I do not wreck. Sonny hit a tree at high speed, no helmet. I think of it in terms of throttle. Say scale 1 to 10, full throttle is 10. I say 7 you are starting to gas it, 8 to 9 you are really pushing it and wreck is very likely. I normally ski 5 max, that is half throttle. The clip below is me coming down the hill my daughter videoed it, this is NM Red River "The Face" March this year, it is black, it is step, but it is groomed.

This is a pic from the top of The Face.



She took the easy way down, then got a video of me coming down the The Face, I'm on the left side of the run. I'm going a 2 or 3 here, it was last run of day I was pretty tired. And I had not been skiing since 2003.



This is my daughter, her first time skiing, day 3, pretty steep blue run. She is probably going about a 6 or 7, and all most takes spill at the end, especially when I start stoking her..



Girls always ski under control, guys over do it. Nearly all ski accidents are men. My son would not ski with us, he was going full throttle all the time, wrecking all the time too, and not listening to me.

Snow skiing, when keeping at half throttle, way safer than duck hunting, headed across the lake dark 30 in the morning in sub freezing temps, wreck and you probably die.

"All my rowdy friends have quite duck hunting , and they seem to be more in to hitting the slopes........nobody wants get up at 2:30, everybody just wants to sleep on in.
I myself have seen my bluebird days, and I have seen my friends in the back of the hole...and I need to find me Guy who still wants to go....but nobody wants to get out and blow that call....and all my rowdy friends have settled down. And I think I know what that Guy meant when he sold his ole duck rig....and MoHunter still out there shooting drake pintail sprigs, and ducknbass still at the ramp fixing his brokendown chit.....

Still miss it?

The Face is not bad UNLESS it gets icy (which it does a lot) - then you just slide down sideways. I love that last area you sent the video of - like heading to the right and going through the trees - Never seems to be a line at that lift.

I don't ski a ton but love doing it. I skied Sapporo, Japan ('72 Winter Olympics were held there) in 1986 - neat to do something different, but I prefer smaller places like Red River.

I've never hunted/scouted more and had fewer birds to show for it. I need to change up my scouting routine. It's not working this year. I haven't skied in nearly forty years. I do miss it sometimes but I agree with others. You need to see a doctor. I'm sure there's a pill or shot for that. Thorazene or some such concoction

Did you pick up your snowboard & boots yet?

Not yet, real soon tho. Not getting snowboard, getting skis. Got my truck camper all rigged with propane heater, carbon monoxide sensor...

Are you really driving and sleeping in your truck?
