I remember when I was a kid and it would get down to 35 below and sometimes I'd have to get up at 3AM to shovel more coal into the stoker and pull out the clinker and lay a new fire. You could tell when it was getting low - the pillow would get crunchy where I was breathing on it and that would wake me up. Sometimes, if I didn't hop to it right away, one of my sisters would yell into my room and order ol' cinderfeller (me) to get a move on. I'm sure glad we don't have a climate like that anymore - I don't have a proper coal shovel and the stores don't carry them. -- Grizzly H.

Never been that cold! In South Lake Tahoe, I remember it getting around 6 to 8 below according to the thermometer on the front of the cabin, right around New Years Eve. Some of the cars were basically playing Plinko with the reinforced snow banks. I accidentally made the mistake of not plowing the fresh burms created by the damn snow plows the night before. They were basically frozen solid the next day, after the cold temps, well, not that cold at all when compared to -35. Shi%.

Ski school was fun as well. I know a ski instructor up there that has many decades of experience, he is family. Tried the Waterfall, the Gun Barrel, Face... Unfortunately, I have not skied in a while. Have a lot of family in Tahoe.

That WAS a trail... right? Me and my friends would go up on the mountain in the summer with our hatchets and saws to open up some trails so we wouldn't catch a ski under a tipped over sapling or in a raspberry swamp and get killed or something. There was a gay homo faggot prevert in town who owned a flower and shrub farm and landscaping business and he would go up there when he had some free time and run a brush hog around. Sometimes we'd stand around gabbing with him when it was hot and we needed to cool off. He never molested any of us. I think the rumors weren't accurate. If you don't like trees, there are some treeless places to ski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM7YknhIKeU -- Grizzly H.

Were you disappointed? > If you don't like trees, there are some treeless places to ski: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM7YknhIKeU Most of the Left Coast ski runs are pretty wide, with mogul fields and stuff. One time... at Band Camp, I was skiing and came upon a big pinnacle on the path, with a smaller trail going around it. I decided to take the road less traveled, and as soon as I got around it, there was a lot of crusty ice. I went into it kinda fast, but started the careful process of slowing down, lest I end up taking a dump. Then I see four of the stupidest, most retarded girls, who obviously knew nothing about skiing, and they're standing four abreast (or would that be eight abreast?) and they're HOLDING HANDS! They're all trying to "walk" in their skis, and I've got no way around them, and not enough time to get myself slowed down on all that ice, so I did the only thing I could do... I dumped it to keep from taking those dumb bitches out like bowling pins. I fucked up my right shoulder real good. So good, in fact, it was at least three years before I could raise my right arm above shoulder height. -- Checkmate ® Author, Humorist, Cynic Philosopher, Humanitarian Poet, Elektrishun to the Stars Usenet Shot-Caller Copyright © 2018 all rights reserved In loving memory of The Battle Kitten May 2010-February 12, 2017 "There are many here among us, who feel that life is but a joke."

I kept my edges sharp so I could ski on ice - sometimes that's all you'd have until the sideways guys busted it into corn. I had a stone that I'd run down the face with a little oil then I'd burnish the edge with a piece of drill rod to put a little hook in it. If there wasn't enough edge to work with, I'd go after the sides with some 400 grit wet-or dry on a hard block with soap water until the edge was flush again. Then I could skate, if that's what was needed. Worst people crash was going over somebody's loose ski and gouging it up pretty good. It was a new ski. Sad. I tended to do all my hill bombing where the wobblies weren't. If the first 500ft was at 45 degrees, people would filter themselves out. Didn't need no damn black diamonds. -- Grizzly H.

I saw a guy plow into a girl once at the bottom of a run, where he should have slowed down. The girl went to the hospital, and the guy got cuffed and stuffed and went to the pokey to get poked.
