I'll go anywhere with you my love. As long as there's no other tracks. (I don't ski in other people's tracks, I think it's unhygienic...)

Please be sure to use the UnBlackdiamonizer in Photoshop next time you post a picture here... Ask Ron if you don't have it, he has plenty of weird effects plugins...

But does it really matter? Have you seen a beautiful skin track like this before? I don't think it's unhygenic when it's XCD tracks...

No so many tracks on the way down

So many bails, yet so many fun

Oh man - what do you do at a resort? That's a virtual spoogefest of other people tracks.

I'm like the karhu - an opportunist and scavenger... I ski on whatever.

And FWIW I wish I had taken a picture of our local park the other day, it seems that everyone and their brother decided to ski out there an make their own tracks. The trail looks like a pack of wild horse drawn sleighs had a race! Literally side to side was miscellaneous tracks going every which way with snowshoe and post holes from boots sprinkled in. If people actually had any sense there would be one set of ski tracks, unmolested, and one snowshoe rut and no one would walk on our trails with bare boots. Rant off.

PS What if the tracks were made by a talking Lion?

Johnny I can't take full credit for this. It's actually my wife's photo and my sister-in-law's art work. Please enjoy. She would be honored that you like it so much.

She won't, but I sure will... Look what I just got in the mail: Karhu Kabooms!
THE cutest ski EVER!! 70cm of pure cuteness. It's so sad they don't make them in 185cm...
