In search of the perfect ski sock

[Gary]

Now there's an imaginative idea..I like it! "Ski bumpers, just fasten the belt like device around your waist and those little bumpers will "twang" everytime your hips are low as they go. The perfect external cue. $19.95 but if you buy today, will throw in a ski pole sharpener...yours free!"

Oh and Jim, if I was down the hill from Ron, would I be faster or slower?

Work with me here Jim:? a train left Smithsville at 3pm traveling at 40 miles per hour and arrived at Whosville at 2pm 40 miles away, what day of the week was it?

Best,
Gary

WoW, it must be getting closer to the opening day! The snow is falling but the comments are piling up much faster. I do like the curb feelers idea, yiou may be on to something here. I really look forward to skiing with all and having a great time. I am going to be a bit embarrased when you find out I really can't ski worth a damn and I just post on these sites!

[Gary]

Yeah right....so where then did you get the name "Huckmister RC"?

Did it have to do with skiing or drinking?

More to come on that after the Beaver Creek Adventure!

NO hucking! with 5 surgeries in 13 years now, and at 42, I need to try to keep this body in the best condition I can so I an be making turns at 85.

[Gary]

Ok Ron, cosmetic surgeries don't really count as manly surgeries.

A nose job, calf  and chest implants go a long way in getting the ladies to swoon but not much for hard charging carving.

Still, looking good and still sking at 85 sounds good to me!

Yep, I can see it now, you could be the new poster boy for ARP.....

The only surgery from now on are those clean tracks left on the snow from your sharpened steel edges! Yep, that's the ticket!

Come on Gary, I have only had face lifts and tummy tucks from when I weighed 425........

[Gary]

Well then...I don't think they make boards fat enough to haul the size of a stately man around!

Of course there's always the Spatula's....

Never the less.....leave 250 lbs of that 450 in Annandale before heading out to the Beav....

I'm holding at 178 but trying to lose a few more. Its just that I have a hard time cutting down on the red wine in the fall and then there's all that apple cobbler and great stuff my wife bakes. I should be able to get to 175 for the season. But then again, there are a lot of really great new Chianti's coming out and they go so well with pasta........

[Gary]

Well alrighty then.....drinking good wines and eating good foods will not be a problem for us at the Beav...

Of course that's after sking!!!!

[Ron]

gary, there is anew Light ski sock out from smartwool. You may want to check it out.

[Gary]

Yep, thanks Ron.....I did check it out on the web. Will have to go the the local shop to "feel" the sock. My little tootsies like soft not course material.

Will check it out if they have them in stock.
