Our version of skiing with the boys has been going on for upwards of
30 years for some (Chuck and Dave) and in the neighborhood of 20 years
for others, aka "the new guys" (Chris and Snap).
Sometime around 2010 while on a trip to Kicking Horse
we had just skied a face off of Stairway to Heaven and then a fairly lengthy run out to
about mid mountain. We came across a friendly (and very enthusiastic)
boarder and made the usual small talk about boarders and traverses etc,
then went our separate ways. A few minutes later at the next break some
other skiers came up to us and said:
"Hey, your Snow Boarder buddy might be in trouble up there in the trees."
One of us replied - "He's not really our buddy, we're Skiers.... Skiers Without Boarders".
And
there was the seed of a (great?) idea for a blog, or at least a place
to write down our stupid, random stories so that we can reminisce among
ourselves.
(At least that is my version of the origin and since I created this I get to write what I want :-) ).
And so it begins......

OK, maybe I will get to tag along with this shady bunch in 2020. You are all skiers after all, and I like the posted playlists, so it might just work out. >> EJ
