    Wow I didn't think I'd get much of a response. Glad I'm wrong! I'm actually at beaver valley with my uncle right now, but we should maybe get together up at seven springs sometime!

    You and I would ski well together, but I haven't skied in the east for the past 5 seasons :(

    I've never been big on k2s though. I'm a big fan of atomic and Fischer cause they never seem to run outta grip and respond best when you're really work them. I wish I got some new skis but I only ski a few weeks a season now so it's tough to justify it. Plus my girlfriend is just learning so it would be a waste to buy a really hot set just for snow plow duty :(

    This is the first pair of K2s iver ever owned and love them. They are the Apache Crossfire. Absolutely love them. I used to only buy Salomon skis.

    Yeah skiing with the ladies can be a bummer. Not a fan of waiting at the bottom for 5 minutes. lol. I ski like I race my car. As fast as possible.

    I literally just looked at those in a shop. They have 90 degree sidewalks so I bet they hold edge like a mfer. I'm demoing a pair of tigershark 10 power switches tomorrow but i'm really itching to get back into a race ski. I get a really good hook up through willi's so I'll probably get something. I've been skiing my fischers for four seasons and it's the longest I've ever stayed with a set and I think they're gettin kinda flat

    I used to ski a ton, but haven't done it hardly at all since graduating high school.... I have way too many hobbies, and skiing is an expensive one - it was on the bottom of the list behind bikes, cars, golf, baseball, etc... so it had to go...

    my brother was a ski instructor and race coach at 7 springs for 3 years....

    Every year i look forward to winter so i can go skiing, and just never find the time to do it - and when i have time, i just don't wanna spend the $$

    Since playin ice hockey and ice skatin since I was like 5, skiin came natural to me. Gone a few times skiin n luved it, but I was basicly a skater (skateboarder) since then too. So I took a likin to snowboardin more. I love thrashin! I haven't went in like 4 yrs thou. Been itchin to maybe go before the years over. My younger cuz waxed and sharpined my edges on my board a couple months ago and been buggin me to go so. So will see, if not this year, I'm most definately goin next year.

    Yep, i ski when i have the time, I havent gone in a few years, but i used to hit the slopes 4-5 times a year, seven springs and hidden valley, my family has gone to the wisp as well, I went to nemicolin woodlands with the intension to ski and found it was only a cross country coarse so i declined... But we should all get together and hit up hidden valley sometime... I like hidden valley much better due to the fact they arent as busy during the weekday as seven springs...

    I am a pro on the bunny slopes. I am pretty sure I will kill myself on the 'real' hills though.

    I snowboard. Been to 7 Springs about 5 times this year. Usually I just spend my time in the parks. They just put a 30 & 42 foot kicker in the Spot which are pretty sick.
