Like title says, from the burgh area. signed up b/c some dude told me about it on xbox live while playing Shawn White Snowboarding. seems like a nice community. used to ski all the time. since i was about 8 till high school. my sr yr in high school i jacked my knees up bad, and kinda just stopped skiing. and 2 years ago i went skiing twice and fell in love wtih it again. and didnt get a chance to go last year. finally this year, i busted out my salomon 1080 spaceframes and went skiing. man did i miss it. finally getting back into it. just shakin  off some of the rust now haha. anyways done rambling like an idiot, hello and anybody else from the Pittsburgh area?
