You're from NH and you went all the way to Breck to snowboard for the 1st time?

There's some decent stuff in NH...

I hope you liked the overall experience out there, but don't use the powder out there to judge the conditions here on the east coast

I will be at Mt Snow this wknd - (Carinthiaparks.com) if anyone is interested in meeting up..

Haha... I've had some interesting things happen...

Sold my 1989 325iX in November (well gave it away)..
Sold my 1998 318ti in August (took a bath.. biggest POS)..

Then in August I bought a 2006 330i... I was SOOOO sick of old cars that I wanted something with a warranty and didn't want to put anything down... Kinda bittersweet because I wanted the 135i originally but now that I have 4 doors again I'm VERY happy...
Kinda wish I got a wagon though...

Speaking of which I have my last project nearing completion and will likely show it off at the next cars and coffee... An imported 1991 318iT - That's an E30 Touring (wagon)... One of maybe 10 in the country... Build thread is over on bimmerforums...

How's life?

I was at Pico in VT a few weekends ago. It's owned by Killington. It's a little smaller than some mountains but it's clutch for weekends when everything else is crowded. Still a great mountain but never jammed with noobs. The Summit Glade trail is a blast when there is fresh snow on it. You could ride it 6 times and never take the same path.

Whats the Hardest thing about Snow blading (Miniskis)?

Telling your parents your gay....

Lol, I got some 166 Karhu Kodiak Telemark's Skis with G2 Ticket Bindings and Scarpa Race boots... Been trying to get some good runs in this season... prob just gonna go do Mt Washington soon, see if I can find any good snow in the slack country, I've been having an interesting season so far... Always seem to leave when it starts dumping

Maybe we should do like a meet and ski or something as a group... bunch of e90 guys flying down the mountain.

Pico is a great mountain. Spent two days there for an exam once. It sa great old school NE mountain with some nice twisty trails... A GREAT alternative to Killington.

hahaha... gay blades... they serve their purpose... I think... seriously the adaptive program at loon will often use them to help teach their volunteers how to track their inside ski... the only way you can ski a blade is to carve so it is a good teaching tool...

I'd be more than happy to hike if my knee didn't need surgery #2 like yesterday...

Thanks for the compliment and thanks more for this link! - quite a good read and a blast from the past... a rare car indeed.. I'd love to check it out in person when you are done..... I don't know where I went "wrong" in life

- but I have always liked wagons over coupes and sedans.

Don't worry you didn't go that 'wrong'... First car was a Volvo 740 wagon for me (thanks mom and dad) and from the moment I got it I wanted a 'car'... Then i wound up in coupes (had three 3-series coupes at the same time!) and now all I want is a Wagon!! Haha...

So much easier to load skis and bikes and construction debris...

I'm hoping that the weather will cooperate and I'll have this baby done in time for the next "cars and coffee"... Otherwise my other half lives in Brookline so I'm around.. Well... As long as she keeps me around...
