>>> Hi Marc you can pass the word along to the ski-Vt list that I have no plans of re-joining the list. I'll continue to meet up with people for skiing but posting to the list is a waste of my time. Doug ------------- And ours! Thank you! Regarding the shaped-skis-for-crud discussion, let me indulge in a condensed version of my annual snowboarding filibuster. Don't spend $600 on some funky, SHORT ski when you can order a '99 K2 snowboard for $200 (through one of the cheesy discount catalogs that continously get mailed to me) that will glide with ease through cruddy, cut-up powder in the trees, leaving your two-planking friends behind on those frequent heavy snow days. Consider how many days a year you ski, and devoting 5-10 of those to learning to board would enable you to look forward to heavy wet powder almost as much as light and dry. -Scott - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
