I was in the forums in summer 2003 looking for information on powder mtn utah, got hooked (on reading) the next year (summer of 04),

started posting summer of 2008, after a comment about Dubai inflamed my middle-eastern passions haha.

Over a year... it was before I really knew what a message board was so I didn't really feel any inclination to sign up, just read stuff. I had another name before this but I don't remember what it was, much less the password.

I honestly can't even remember, I think I started posting in the fall of 04 after joining in early 04. I remember I joined because I went skiing with a kid in my neighborhood and he had on a blackhoodie that said "newschoolers.com" up the sleeve in baby blue.

Anyone remember what this hoodie looked like or have a pic? I would be interested in seeing it again.

I lurked for a good 6 monthsto a year before I made an account in January of 08. Then lurked for like another 6 months till I posted. Spent all my time on here ever since. I actually probably spend
probably like 4x as much time on this site as I do skiing. Which is really fucking sad because that's all this site is about, it's not about the site it's about skiing. Anyways I think I've been a post whore for like 4 or 5 months now.
