I like how you sought to refute my point by dismissing resort skiing as for the plebes, and indicating that only backcountry skiing reached by private plane qualified as skiing.

Still waiting for recommendations on the Great American Skiing Novel. 

There's such an intellectual depth to the sport, surely there are just reams of literary classics written about it, unlike that nonsense about man's confrontation with the sea.

I don't think that was the argument but we'll never be able to know since signal deletes all the messages...
