Cliff notes: Sprite took a friend from Central America skiing for the first time. He was having a tough time with falling down and all until he got on a lift with Sprite. After one lift ride with Sprite, he was flying down the slopes trying to get away! :) By days end, they took a ride up the gondola to see some nice views and when presented the options of either skiing down a black diamond trail or riding the gondola back down with Sprite, this first time skier chose the balck diamond! :)


(Sprite, you know I"m just bustin, but couldn't resist ;) )
Hittin' the stuff a little early? When I spell it like that I have usually had a taste or two. :P

Not sure, but are ladybugs the only insects that hibernate?

And she more or less stayed on topic :).

Couple of years ago I took a kid - friend of my son's - up the gondi for a run down great eastern. Kid swore up and down that he'd been on snowboards
before and knew what he was doing. Knew it was going to take time when he
hit the first tree he tried to go past (albeit very slowly).

Turned out "been on a snowboard" meant that he put one on and went down the little hill in his backyard a couple of times.

BTW - Sprite, I think you were thinking of High Road, not Highline in your story...

Correct Dork...It's high road I was thinking of. Highline would have still been better than Bittersweet though!

Highline??? The whole trail has a real good pitch to it, it used to be a double diamond.... That's the last one I would bring a beginner on, hehe.

Except that the old viper pit used to sneak up people. Best yard sale
I ever saw was some guy straight-lining it down Bear Trap(?).
He hit the lip of the pit at about Mach 2. Flew pretty well. Didn't flare
enough on his landing though.
