"No skis take rocks like rental skis!"

From their list of 50 things a skier should do before he dies, I've done #21, "Get first tram" (thanks envirobitch!) and #20, "Ski an epic resort descent" (they claim the line under Mammoth's Chair 23 qualifies). I'm also going to go ahead and claim #5, "Go on Dawn Patrol," though it's trivial at Alyeska, particularly in midwinter.

In case you were curious regarding to whom you should pray for a good ski season: Ullr is your go-to god.

(Reference spotted in ski porn Skiing magazine, which I totally read for the articles.)

I'm longing for steep and deep.
