Very cool thanks for posting

That's a heavy sum of cash. I'd (it's not going to surprise ANYONE)buy a home in Aschau or Zell. I would buy the Landhaus that I stayed at this October. I'd possibly purchase my own ski resort. If I had any money left, which I probably would. I would move my parents to Maui. I'd also get all of us together and we'd go skiing in __________ (insert cool resort)


Oh yeah I'd also have a private jet. :D

with the sub zero temperatures over the last few days I've discovered that the cold really makes my knees hurt (post-op one particularly). The up side to this is that I've discovered it before my trip so can't blame it on the skiing :thumbup:

for my mcl knee I've got a bracesox lycra undergarment and a hinged donjoy brace. on my acl knee I've got a neoprene support, another lycra undergarment and then a couple of sports bandages for good luck. I'll also get my hands on some some foam (a la trencher). Just call me michelin woman!

:shock: Can you even move in all that stuff? Kudos on the brace though :-) My health insurance company hates them. Although I love em'
I'd suggest anti inflammatories and of course the all powerful Tiger!! At least your leg will have the o`dor of a canned Christmas ham.

Atleast it's dry and cold. Over yonder in the states its rain, ice, rain, snow etc.. etc..

My latest beef being a 6 degree night with rain that fell VERY fast to about -8. It froze the resort. When I went to work the next day I seriously considered taking out my ice skates and skating to the lodge. Once I was given my assignment for the day walking down the slope was, at best VERY Glacier-esque. I teased one my my coworkers and told him. If you've ever wondered what walking on a glacier is like, walk down the concrete hard slope. :cry:

It's supposed to be -14 with a low of -24 with 50-60 mph winds this weekend while I'm at work. This weather pattern is nuts, globally

LOL I heard about this a few hours after it happened. I hardly think this was the fault of a renegade lift. The restraint bar was the evil mastermind :lol: I guess the chair was tired of being sat upon, and all the things that happen when you sit on something of that nature :mrgreen:

I've seen some pretty weird stuff at my resort, but nothing like this. Maybe this is something that should be added in the lift operators handbook.

Lifts (of anysort) may seem pretty tame and innocent but :wink: when they plot vengeance :shock:

PSC,. you have 5 stars becuase your awesome

I believe that the US Postal Service refuses to deliver alcohol

http://andys.northcampus.com/noshipping.htm says it is actually illegal
"It is illegal to send alcohol via the United States Postal Service.
UPS and most other package services refuse to ship alcohol."

Write to your congressman

That bites, it never hurts to ask. So I can smuggle in 16 bottles of booze ( It's a personal record and it's COMPLETELY true) into a hockey bag with 4 weeks worth of clothes and get it home that way. But it can't be shipped. Ohh rats! The US still is in a prohibition. It prohibits anything good >.>

I checked out the riverside wines and I'm pretty sure I found my Dresden "mystery spatlese" Thrilled to bits about that

Jack that's REALLY funny that you sent that link. I spent a lot of my student loan money at that place.
