Overheard a few days ago . . .

(I posted this in the Winter Sports forum a few days ago, but I think it's worth reposting here):

So for a few years now I have heard -- and stubbornly rejected as blasphemy -- the notion that telemarking is the winter equivalent of C1ing.

But a few days ago, taking advantage of the roughly 40 inches of snow we've gotten here in the DC area over the last week, I decided to try telemarking again.

There I was on the mountain, taking a break halfway down, when an alpine skier comes over to me and says:

"Gee, that looks like a lot of fun. But how do your knees stand it?"

I had to laugh! I guess it must be the winter equivalent, after all.

Alden - any time you get to travel to 7Springs give me a shout. I am not certifed (certifiable maybe) but I know how to use a lift and the know the local BC.

As for K verses C = A verses T .... Absolutely! Been hearing that for over 20 years. But everyone I've converted has NEVER gone back! Its just a different flavor of the Kewl-Aid!

Tips and T-grips up! Paul C.
