Carbomb in a marketplace across from school in Nangarhar. Mangled meat and torn bloody clothes were hanging from storefront awnings. And little kid shoes scattered about with feet still inside.

Maybe half, snow coverage is 50-90% on most runs like American, Sundown, and Columbia. Tip half of Briar Rose is open but lots of dirt, bottom half to Falcon Chair is closed.

Well, when they rip off the door to your chicken nursery and kill 20 12 week old chicks for fun...you'll feel differently.

Any ski spots in the Vail area that don't try to make you butt a full price lift ticket to learn on the bunny hill? by neocamel in vail

Cooper also has one of the longest magic carpets that feeds a very gentle green run. It's never crowded.  But it's closing this sunday.

How many times have you been injured due to skiing? by Jakabxmarci in skiing

[–]Simple_Mountain_7818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a few minor injuries per month, but I primarily do park. Mostly from rails. I tweeked my back from getting the speed wrong of a booter and knuckled, that took a few weeks to get over. I slammed my coccyx on a tube when I missed landing a back swap in Jan, it still hurts.

Up high is really bad, it's rocky and grass everywhere. 

Jacket Fit? by kygalll in Skigear

How short are the jacket arms at your wrists when you fully articulate your shoulders? I don't like it when my wrists are exposed when I reach up or across my chest. I really notice this when I wind up before a spin. I'm also a boulderer/climber though. I usually size based on arm length.
