Whoa, Harald-my comments are actually still on your mind??
Well, since you asked let's see:
1. I said I wasn't qualified to comment on the PMTSness of this skier..and I didn't-so I'll stand by that.
2. I said he's the best skier I've seen video of associated with BASI-And he is, so I'll stand by that, too.
3. I've seen much worse skiing from many instructors, and so have you-so that seems right to me.
4. When someone is referred to as 'athletic' on this site, Rightly or wrongly, it is usually followed by a dismissal of their skiing. True or False? I was poking some fun at that reality. It was only a jest from a long time reader of the forum.
Honestly, I hadn't given this thread much thought at all since I posted on pretty generalized comment two weeks ago…I thought it was dead, or closed or something.
I am surprised you'd still respond to this buried comment from two weeks ago. Though, I'll admit, I was a little more surprised the thread discussing the growth in narrow/ technical skis reviewed at real skiers was axed.
On a completely unrelated musing, but it's on my mind this labor day morning as I suit up for a ride: Colorado Mountain Biking season must be hitting it's Zenith. You know, I talked about this the other day with a good bud, I've gone to Colorado for biking more than skiing (probably close to 4 times as many days on Dirt than snow). Right now when I think about about anything affiliated with Colorado, I think about days at Crested Butte (the best) and Durango (pretty damn great), and neither one for skiing.
Harald I know you are an avid, and I would guess talented, road biker…Do you ride the dirt as well?? My ski days in your state are limited to only two weeks over 10 years, but I've done a fair amount of mountain biking in the great state of Colorado, and, in my experience that's the best thing Colorado has to offer in terms of outdoor sports. Yep, even better than it's skiing. Which, is saying something. Just wondering if between hanging from precipitous rocks and spinning up steep asphalt grades you carved some single track in one of the great regions for dirt pedaling in the world?
It's only September 1st-I'd rather talk biking and dream about doing it in Colorado.
