Hé Al, I wouldn't have recognized you...
Speaking of rounding the edges, your edges aren't the only thing that have been rounded (looking at the bottles at your feet).
In french we say «rond comme une bine» round as a bean, for drunk...
Take care.
what are your oldest photos of you skiing?

Well Rod, nobody recognized me back then, I was trying to fly under the radar. Sometimes I do feel round as a bean though, but not from alcohol. Ice cream is my weakness, but you may already know that if you follow me on the Ice cream forum, where I go by "HalfgallonAlan"

What the heck -- cleaning out the file cabinet and found this one...
Pearl Pass, Colorado -- 1974
12,723'
I broke a ski tip in breakable crust on this three day trip.
Skied out and bought new skis (yes, they were 220cm) and skied back in with the requested beer and chocolate.
I might have even used the awl on my Swiss Army Knife to "drill" the holes for the binding screws...

woaaw wonderful photoHarry M wrote: ↑Fri Jan 28, 2022 10:49 pmHey, I found an even earlier photo. This is definitely the oldest photo I have of me skiing.
Southeast side of Denali, June 1983
Fischer skis, Makalu boots, Ramer bindings
It was pretty quiet on the SE side, we didn't see another person for an entire month
After our attempt on Denali, we took a few days to ski part-way down the Great Gorge
This is the Great Gorge (aka Ruth Gorge):

The glacier running right-to-left in this photo is a mile wide.
