Ski bible

So my roomate and I (InTheFade11) have been making a ski/snowboard bible?Qaran/Kabala/whatever and were looking for some input on what to put it in and thought why not ask the whole ski community. I wanna actually make this like a real book once its completed.

So far the main points we have are an emphasis on chi and what creates a positive chi for the shred gods and some stuff about shred "profits" and places that are holy and every rider must attempt to make a "pilgramige" in there lifetime.

Any input would be awesome and hopefully we can get this shit started, Thanks NSer's!

tom should not even be considered in the same category as simon or tanner. he's just beginning. they are legend. maybe put jon in there if you're gonna throw names around in that category.

don't forget the older guys too.

and bruce trempers "staying alive in avalanche terrain" already is the ski bible

thou shall burn old skis and gapers (real or made out of something like wood) to appease the snow gods so that the first snow fall shall come early and with great bounty.
thou shall rage from first lift up to last call
and candide thovex should be Jah

hahah, I would buy this.
something should be included about all the snow/winter gods and goddesses of the world. There's even a snow goddess of Hawaii. apparently you can actually ski there! there are a bunch of Nordic gods/goddesses. There's also "yuki onna" (snow woman) in Japan who kills people who are alone in the snow. Maybe she could be like a demon or devil of some sort.

Did nobody get that he was criticizing this supposed authors incorrect word choice? Maybe he should get learned up on his grammar before tackling a novel.

instead of focusing on one omniscient and omnipotent father figure of skiing, you can adopt the multiple god concept from the romans.

So Jon can be the doubles - god
Tanner the first Ghetto steeze god
Wallisch the rail god.
And leskiinnen the hot god? like aphrodite

And then you can have the hercules (half god half man) that resulted from a god and a woman like kye peterson.

and uhhmm, well that's my 5 cents

My bad, I typed it out pretty quick and I don't really go back and edit my NS post like I would an actual essay or book. And yes, I did mean "prophets" and not "profits" haha, although that wouldn't be so bad for me if I had additional money, it would seem quite corrupt.

I scanned through the thread and didn't see that anyone had mentioned this.

You should have excerpts from FREEZE issues in there somehow. That basically was my bible when I was younger.

i feel like someone did, but even if they didnt he needs recognition. hes like a legend. hey, thats a good idea. make some parts with legends of events like tanners broken ankles and the first urban etc...

please dont replace chi with steeze .... steeze has to be one of the most ruined, and most misused words in the ski/snowboard dictionary ..... the book sounds like a interesting idea. you should post some chapters in the forum as they are finished. good luck

C.R.E.A.M said take a trip to the west, to one of the MAJOR ski resorts, that's def not Hood, and it's the ONLY place to ski in the summer.  Most def not in a league with whistler, squaw or mammoth!

word but my point is. if you are gonna make a big trip out west.. why not do it in summer when you wouldn't be able to ski anyway if weren't for hood (and whistler.. but the pub park is not as good in summer.. supposedly)

point taken, and don't get me wrong, my grandparents live in Hood River, so I grew up skiing there and Bachelor, where the other side of my family lives.  I'll always love meadows, and there is some dope terrain, I was just in the mind of  a ski season trip, u know experience one of the west coasts three foot storms.

All hail the true messiah

Click for larger image

If you want to include a book of steeze and make Tanner a high preist or give props to some talltee stretching alterboys whatever

But it starts way back even before the messiah

Whomever posted PC as a great must hit western resort. A oneplanking bro gave me this more than a dozen years ago when they changed policy it holds true today
