Started this thread to get some activity...

Where in the south is everyone at?? I grew up in North Carolina...Asheville to be precise, learned to ski at Wolf Laurel and BM.

After college at Furman University in Greenville SC I moved to Japan for a few years. I lived in the japanese alps and skiied 60+ days a year while being a full time teacher.

Then moved back to NC to marry my wife, she was finishing law school at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem. She just got a job here in Kentucky as a bonafied lawyer, so we bought a house and moved up here...yea we all growed up here.



So where in the south are yall?

Atlanta born and raised, parents lived out west so since i was able to walk i started going out to the rockies 3 or 4 times a year to ski. now about 17 years later i hit up NC and VA periodically, however i consider my home mountain to be Steamboat Springs, Colorado or ATLskiers backyard rail.

ok, well then

I was born in Ohio, and then i moved to Orange County, California, then moved up to Weston, Connecticut, and then from there moved to Snellville, Georgia

I started skiing at 3, at Park City Utah, cause my Grandpa/parents own one of the original condos, right at Payday, so it was cheapest place to go at first, and then i started snowboarding for a couple years, and i just got back into park for the last 2 years...only get to ski once a year, but this year im gettin my rail set up in my backyard for practice, and im goin to start heding up to App. Mountain, or anywhere in NC that has snow
