Vicious attack? Lol…. I was just asking questions and stating my observations…. Trying to understand what kind of a walk you do with all the talk you have...

Jim, While I was "struggling mightily" to learn how to Telemark ski (didn't we all), I learned that turn when I was teaching skiing at Mission Ridge.just-jim wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 10:22 pm Yes, I know who you are, Chris. Met you nearly 40 years ago…..I’m recalling now, for some reason:
Me and other telemark enthusiasts like, then Loup Manager Duey…and Polly and Jamie (Pearl’s husband Howard would remember them).. might have included Don Portman, too…can’t exactly recall; encountered you and your partner skiing at the Loup. You two were struggling – MIGHTILY - to learn that tele turn. Musta been early/mid 80s? Our group spent a while helping the 2 of you - verrry slooowly - part way down a run. I recall your partner being very gracious and thanking us for the help we offered. But, you were sullen and kinda snotty. WOW, color me – now - NOT surprised!
It’s what we did back then…helping each other. I think you’ve said that, here, too?
BTW – glad you FINALLY learned how to ski… (snicker).
