Ya know, by the time ya wade through all this %@#$^ jargon, insults and name-calling, well, let's just say it wears out the eyes. I'm an 'old school' skier, in fact, I made my 'breakthrough' to advanced skiing in Mr. Berge's ski school...

I've tried my hand at many different sports growing up. Played most of the big team sports: football, soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball and the quasi-team sports, like tennis. Tennis was my main sport until I screwed up my shoulder...
