Skiing

[macca_mountain_dude]

hey just a random question. Do many of you mt bikers ski. Cause i do but i find it impossiable to find many others who do. Let alone have a the taste to ride a mt bike aswell

[josh123]

RIGHT HERE!!!!! Addicted to the bloody expensive sport...and absolute drug! Have you been sucked into the "new school" revolution too? Fave resort? I'm an annual Mt. Hotham goer too! Great mountain for it's size. Bhipsley is also a keen bean when it comes to skiin'!

Mate aswell as riding downhill I also snowboard(member of perisher ski patrol) wakeboard and waterski.

Unfortunatly I am pushing my limits in all these sports and I always have some sort of nigiling injury that gives me the shits

I used to alpine (raced alpine and skiier X at higher levels) but I now tele. I'm very much into my Backcountry trips and live for the winter.
I have skiied all the hills in vic (incl buffalo etc.) a majority of the south island in NZ (hitting up Broken River and craigeburn club fields next season) and some of the mountains in Canada.
I'm heading to Japan in feb to ski Furano and Annupuri plus get a few short Backcountry trips in.

Sweet. Finaly some skiiers hahah. I'm not big on jibbing, prefure the steeps, trees, powder and speed

Telemark rocks. As does alpine/hardboot snowboarding.

For tele I ride K2 Piste Pipes with Bomber Bishops, and my board (yeah, I know, it's a ski thread!) is a Nitro Blazer with Bomber Trenchdiggers.

Haha yeah, nice dimensions, you on 171's? I love the original Public Enemies...have a look on the tail and you'll see a little red dude with a fat clock round his neck, turns out i sat next to that Public Enemy guy on the plane over to Vancouver! His names Flava Flave-he was snorting some coke in the bathrooms cos they dont check V.I.P's for drugs or nuthin! Cool story to tell on the lift anyway:(
