The boards have been pulled from the bag, tuned and waxed, and the snow is flying all around. Nothing like tooling around the slopes.

Damn, I love my Salomon X-Scream Series and Dynastar 4x4 ATVs 
Now if only someone would let me try out their Atomix M:B5 or M:11s.

Haven't hit the x- country skis yet, but as soon as I have a spare day, and enough ground cover, I'll head out on those as well.

After skiing 26 years,  its time to give some back. 

In 2001 I joined the National Ski Patrol, made my Basic rank, and am now working towards Senior. Its a great organization, and I highly recommend it for the camaraderie (the perks dont hurt either)

The initial 8 months of training got me at the Auxiliary Patroller standing, where I can care for patients on the hill, but cannot handle the toboggan. From there it was test time and attaining Basic ranking. 

I'm doing this on a volunteer basis at Boston Mills/ Brandywines Ski Resorts in Boston Heights, OH. since 2001. Nothing huge, but a good place to work on tuning your skills close by. If you are local, and think you may be interested, sign up for the Ski-off and Meet the Patrol Day here. In fact, the BM/BW Ski Patrol is the largest in the country, and for the second time in 8 years has been honored with Best Patrol in the Nation status.

I will add pics from ski adventures.

Well, its a new season, and with it comes new vertical, new places, and well, now new ski patrol.

I was to poor to afford ski patrol or skiing this year, the only skiing I got to do was on a trip to Vail for my sisters wedding.

2004-2005

These stats will be updated as they are just a table duplicate from the 2002 season currently. In reality I got 38 days in strictly at BMBW.
