mountains are quite scenic, especially in the winter
some people like to hike them, especially some of my friends, but i do not do much hiking
i like to ride chairlifts up:
take one of these down:
but some people prefer to ski, i used to ski when i was little, i would definitely like to learn how to at some point
first i need to get good at snowboarding though because i am still fairly mediocre
does anyone else do these things?
do you care to discuss them?

you don't do it on a mountain but it's kind of the same right
i went to tahoe a few weeks ago it was cool that was my second time ever going to the west coast for snow related activities and man i am jealous
tomorrow i'm going to one of those shitty mountains in the catskills with my school's ski team/club

Then i enjoy biking through the alpine forests.
I do it on this
and two maybe to actually do the whole hiking bit once i get good, you know, splitboard and all
High five, mountain biking buddy.
I really need to learn how to ski. I tune skis and snowboards as part of my job, but I haven't been on them in probably 15 years. Debating a new back country ski package for this winter, but seeing as it's almost feb already I'll probably end up investing the money into my new bike .:(
80 bucks for rental and day pass at sierra-at-tahoe
that is dirt cheap
my friends and i were gonna do a trip over winter break but it fell through

Im very much considering buying a Downhill bike and giving a few competitions a shot. Tis an expensive hobby for sure.
$$$
right now I'm equal parts super excited and afraid I'm going to break something important
Ever considered enduro/Super D? Your Orange looks like it could be up to the task. Much as I'd like a full-on 8 inch travel bike I can't justify spending 5 grand on a bike I need a truck to haul back up the hill.

Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
My Orange is an ace all-rounder. I can ride it up and down allll day. I recently had a go on a Lapierre DH920, an absolute monster, but the most fun I have ever had going down a ridiculously dangerous hill. I want one.
yeah, my personal definition of wealth includes owning a cabin and being able to ski basically whenever i want
that is the dream
That bike looks sick as hell. Its sad that we miss out on many of the UK/European brands in canada. At work I recently built a Giant glory 0. Hard to resist just riding it around the shop all day
My gf just texted me that she's going with her friends.
She's not very good at it, but hey whateva.
Some of the European brand names are really well built machines, and they are starting to look pretty sweet too. They used to be very bland.
I do like the look of the Giant DH bikes. An old college friend of mine writes reviews for Mountain Biker UK and his long term test bike was an Iron Horse Sunday Elite downhiller. Gooooorgeous bike.
i would like that a lot
i had a rich friend who had a house on a mountain
that was cool
then he tried to sleep with our mutual friend's girlfriend and then was a dick about it so our group had a kind of falling out
i miss that house on the mountain
that kid is going crazy though, would be nice to make him sane again
I think I might be getting more into cross country skiing though. It's a better way to enjoy the scenery I find and there are less ass holes around.
hope it goes well
At either end of the economic spectrum lies a leisure class. To me you have described being a ski bum better than you have described wealth.
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
way to enforce stereotypes brometheus
thankfully i will not be staying in Vancouver w the craziness and lack of snow
that is cool i am jealous
