HELL
Just went for the first time ever, easily the hardest thing I have done, especially trying to go down an intermediate hill the first run. Played college hoops could handle the ball like it was on a yo yo, pretty good bowler, fairly decent golfer, can hit a heavy bag or speed bag well too, my point that is all hand to eye coordination and this is all LEGS, just weird. I alive, knee is a little swollen though but FUCK was it cold, 14 degrees with a sustained 20-25 mph wind, an instructor told me on the way out that was the windiest day that had there in years. Need beer....and football.

Glad to hear you're alive jr11!

I totally suck at skiing. Never will try again.

Here in Gatlinburg now with the wife, kids, bro-in-law, his 2 boys and the outlaws.

Already off to a good start. Deb and her Mom are taking the boys to a magic show while us guys stay back at the condo to watch MNF!!!!

Talk at ya later.

If someone shows you how, you will pick it right up. Not that hard at all.

dude,i hear you...:142smilie ...

had a date 30 years ago with a girl that was uber-athletic...horsewoman....tennis.....was solid as a rock....so she suggested we go to ski liberty....

i had never been skiing,but my bud(who i shared a house with at the time)had been often....he told me,"you`re a solid athlete...it`s no sweat"...


so shit,i was all gung-ho.... i was gonna impress the hell out of this girl by skiing competently right out of the shute( even never having done it before)...then we`ll just sit in the lodge,get wasted and let nature take it`s course...

my bud said,"don`t fool with that beginner stuff,let`s get on the intermediate hill"....i said wth,let`s do this....

just getting into the fricking chair with skis on was insane...and getting off the mofo was just as hard........i must have fallen 10 times..trying to clip the skis(all gunked up with snow) back on...the only good thing that happened was that one of the girls that went with us dropped her camera while sitting in the chair lift into the snow below.......which i promptly dug out with my head on the way back down....

and the fricking lodge?....i didn`t give a shit about getting laid......i was soaked and freezing...i didn`t even bring a change of clothes.......it was a fricking nightmare....:mj07:

Also they had a big deal the night Tyson fought Michael Spinks for the heavyweight title and I went there and got totally wasted at their open bar :facepalm: I don't think the actual fight lasted 30 seconds. And, my money was on Spinks too :142smilie
