Poll: For the Brothas: How many enjoy snow sports, namely Skiing or Snowboarding?

I see you got the plow down pat

Joking aside, a VERY VERY awesome shot!!!!
Love it!!!! A versatile man to say the least!!!!

 

Fuck the snow, and fuck the cold. I'd rather grind rails and curbs in the sun. I'm so out of shape, and haven't skated in 8 years, though. Shit.

 

Your recent variety of avatar shots has been a spectacular demonstration of your versatility........Sometimes I wonder if Mr.DC. is able to truly appreciate in scope, just how much woman he has in you !

 

I agree! FG = HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Awwwwwwww!!!!
Archie and Athena - you guys are far to kind.
Mr DC is a darn hot man and he treats me like a queen I must say. I say Im the lucky one.
If I muster the guts, Ill post a pic of us somehere in the forum - we are comming up on the one year mark here pretty soon (far away from Sir Noses aniversary)

 

Don't do skiing or snowboarding but, can you say, SNOWMOBILE !!!!

Up in the upper part of Michigan, where you can 6 foot snow falls in a day, places like Iron Mountain, they have annual snowmobile racing. Now that is a straight up, 100% blast. You have some guys who even race snowmobiles professionally.

The head engineer at the company I work for DESIGNS snowmobile engines that run strictly on nitro-fuel. You GLIDE across the snow traveling at the speed of a jet plane. Because you are in a snow covered field with miles and miles of open space in front of you, you can open that bad boy up, only thing people see is this big white streak of snow.

Now don't get me wrong, it has its draw backs. Traveling at that speed you hit a tree or a deer and you can forget about surviving. Also those loud engines can cause an avalanche. Last year one guy was trapped under the snow, caused by an avalanche, for 3 hours until he was found. Ended up having 3 fingers on one hand removed and two from the other because of frost bite.

Thats the only time of the year me and my girlfriend argue, she HATES it when I go there. She has two brothers and a couple of uncles who race snowmobiles so she knows the dangers of it.

 

damn, i forgot to include snowmobiling. Another great winter past-time. Wonderful responses so far. Wish I could post an action pick of myself but i think as of late i'm too busy riding the mountain(s) to stop for photo opps and pics.

Thanx for the responses. As of now, the poll seems to reinforce that stereotype i spoke of in the original post. Hey it is what it is, but we all enjoy what we do in life, and there's nothing wrong with that. I just urge those that don't necessarily enjoy cold weather sports to try to broaden their horizons and open up to the idea of sliding on snow because, in my opinion, you are missing out on one of life's most freeing experiences!

 

Well we did come from the tropics & Sahara.

C'mon now.

We weren't built for that cold.

 

C'mon now I was born in Sweden an IM not built for that cold...

Funny enough I used to live where I had 5 slopes within a 15 kilometer radius and skiid all the time day and night.
Now, ehhhh.. I rather do all the summer sports....
Only one winter sports I still love to do is speed-skating, that is awesome!

 

i ski, snowshoe, icefish,hunt, snowboard, every season
