today when i woke up it was -20 air temp outside... thats not the windchill, just air temp...

lol now my rant against my state....

we have no mountains, last week out of 4 days skiing i had 3 powder days in UT... (best skiing of my life) (never can happen in minnesota) 

its cold as fuck here... i skied knee deep powder on friday, (alta) and when i came home for my sisters ski race on saturday it was -7 all day... today the high is a big fat ZERO!....  we get no snow..... we have shitty roads, Mndot has their heads so far up their asses its not even funny... we have some of the highest taxes in the country, and rank pretty high up there in the world.. (9% state income tax WTF?) we are building a tax payer funded baseball staduim....

where is Al gore and his global warming when i need him?!?!! its fucking cold outside!

o and the worst is people can NOT drive for shit in this state either.... took me almost 3 times as long to drive to college this morning...

thank god i dont live in Nebraska... (sorry nebraskins:)

so NS lets here you rant against your state...

BTW i  do love my state overall, im just in a grouchy state of mind with school starting, it being fucking cold, shitty skiing in this state after skiing UT for the last week, ect...

I just got back to MN from there...  it was so nice there and now it isn't supposed to get above zero here  until friday. Had so much fun building and trying some new tricks on a BC booter we built in Hyalite... then I dislocated my shoulder but overall it was so worth it

I fucking love my state.   The only bad part right now is people are fat (fattest in nation), stupid (inbred), and drug addicted.  The state itself is awesome though.  We have high gas prices but the higher the prices go the more the <i>STATE</i> pays <i>US</i>.

I live in northern california.  it reached 85 degrees today. 

There is no weather in site, even on the 10 day.  just sun, sun, and more sun.  our skipark is going to close soon.  Thankfully I'm going back to school soon and tahoe still has something of a base.

Ohio...ftw? fuckn hate this damn state cockest rudest people, skiing is alright its all i know other then peak  n peek, and holimont and holiday valley. local hill the longest ride up is 2 minutes cause the chair lift is set on mental retardation, the one next to it goes twice as fast, and thats normal speed. the weather is typically up and down, cold as hell suppose to be -10 this week but we get lake effect snow here by akron so its something. i hope to get out soon, hahaha the kevein smith show is on and they are freakn out and he is a dick

i live in maine. its decent for the most part, but the true mainers are fucked. you wont meet a more ignorant group of people on the east coast than you will in maine. Lewiston, Maine has some of the most rascist people i have ever met. I'm so glad i live in a little town that is mostly non-hick, but you know when you see the kid with the lifted 20 year old chevy with a pipe stack in the back where you are, and what you come from. But the farther south you travel, it gets better, no complaints.

i live in washington,  but i go to mount hood. it can rain there during all 12 months.  it sucks getting 5 feet of powder then a half of ice to go over it.  but other then that it's nice.
