fides quarens intellectum Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 [quote name='SaintOlaf' post='1624951' date='Aug 11 2008, 10:48 PM']Oh I hydrate. I was Hydrating like a beast that trip too, in preperation. I think I just have a certain nemesis in high elevations. I probly would've been fine at a lower elevation ski mountain, A-Basin is kind of high....[/quote] Well, like you said, you drove overnight from MI, then went skiing! Hello! i haven't been to A-basin yet... Honestly, it took me close to two months to fully adjust, and i'm only around 6,100 feet where i live. Now, though, it is fun to go back downhill to the East Coast, and outrun my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintOlaf Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 A-Basin is really cool, I was able to ski about half the day after getting sick, so it wasn't a total disaster. It's high and hardcore, but it's so laid back... it's not at all glitzy like Aspen or the other resort areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that counts as a reason - 231. Saint Olaf thinks A-Basin is cool/laid back, and it stays open as late as June. ----- 232. When you vote in the congressional primaries, you get a sticker AND a cookie! 233. Again, since this district is so, well, heavily one-sided when it comes to politics, i get to find out tonight, or perhaps tomorrow, who my next congressman will be... This is fun!
