Hack,
Attaboy....fan those flames. Perhaps if you work hard enough at it you can stir up a little trouble!
Rick and Bud were a little annoyed at me because of my calling folks who poach lessons at resorts "pond scum". I've talked to Bud about the matter and resolved our differences.
Rick got a few facts wrong, however, that doesn't matter. I have did obtain my level III cert in three seasons , however that took place two years ago. I didn't correct him because his comments were said while he was still mad about a discussion we had via private message.
I am very, very careful to quote/attribute skiing ideas ideology to the right person. To some that seems like I have never had an original idea. To me......it seems like the "right" way to give credit where credit is due.
It's kind of along the lines of "intellectual property".
Now.....if you have any interest in being fair I think the whole thread includes a great deal of support for what I said. It may also lure the readers here into reading what Bob Barnes had to eventually say.
I just finished a reply to John Mason about our trying to ski together. Every year SCSA and I get together once or twice to have a few laughs and to just .....as he puts it skeee. Anytime you'd like to do so at either of the places I work or at Loveland shoot me a P.M. at epicski.
In the mean time if you want to get another round of controversy started I think you're barking up the wrong tree! Keep barking if you really want to.
