Josh November 14, 2012 - 1:56 pm

Michael Cares!

Lou Dawson November 14, 2012 - 2:37 pm

And if they don’t care if I ski uphill, then I cut off the “I” and tell them to do it themselves (grin). Lou

Patrick November 14, 2012 - 9:22 pm

some riders simply put up with the downhill stuff, in order to get at the creme-de-la-creme, the uphill.

Christian November 14, 2012 - 11:09 pm

Skin to win, a take off the old Neptune sticker from decades ago.

GREGOR November 15, 2012 - 3:38 am

PLEASE SEND ADDRESS TO CORRESPOND & FOR SASE RE STICKER. BY THE WAY…LONG TIME NORDIC RACER AND TELE SKIER, FOR VARIOUS REASONS HAVE BECOME OBSESSED WITH THE RANDO SCENE ( I BELIEVE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ). THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO., GREGOR

Lou Dawson November 15, 2012 - 4:52 am

Uphill skiing might not be as thrilling as the down, but it sure lasts longer…

Jack November 15, 2012 - 8:12 am

Lou, Are you suggesting that the uphill is more tantric?
%^).

Lou Dawson November 15, 2012 - 8:37 am

Jack, something like that!

Stano November 15, 2012 - 12:00 pm

Lots of people think that we (backcountry skiers) skin up cause we don’t want to pay for tickets. And probably that’s true for some. But for many that I know it’s simply the way we enjoy skiing.

It’s like saying “you ride a motorcycle to save on gas” :)) Surely some do but the majority in western world ride it cause it’s a different way to travel, the feeling is completely different.

Njord November 15, 2012 - 2:00 pm

How about “I SKI BOTH WAYS”?

Dave November 15, 2012 - 11:04 pm

+1 for “I SKI BOTH WAYS”

Lou Dawson November 16, 2012 - 6:35 am

That’s pretty good Njord…

Kurt November 16, 2012 - 1:53 pm

Njord, that’s great “I SKI BOTH WAYS’!

What about “SKI TOURERS MAKE BETTER LOVES” ?

KM

Kurt November 16, 2012 - 3:19 pm

Correction:
“SKI TOURERS MAKE BETTER LOVERS” ?
Forgot the R in LOVERS

Jim November 27, 2012 - 9:14 pm

SASE in route. May need to edit out the I and uphill, a more general call to action.
