Awesome is the word that came to my mind too. I love the face plant at the end! Thanks for fulfilling my request (from your Jan 14 post)!

In my best Australian accent...

Guy 1: He'll never land it.

Guy 2: Don't forget who he is.

There is nothing like watching your friends fall over and over. I especially love all the face plants with skiis flying off. Thanks for my morning laugh. :)

I am nothing if not determined...and very sore!

Yes, Jim has taught me well the art of laughing at your friends when they fall down.

Way to be persistent! I'm impressed! I will say the face plants were quite entertaining =).

First, I loved the music! Second, I'm just so impressed that you can mostly do it. And third, who was your patient cameraman?

Even as a child his tenacity was amazing... and occasionally alarming... or aggravating. We're impressed, Mike, and quite entertained actually with the lovely face plants ;-)

You ski up the hill. So you grab the t-bar and it retracts about 20 feet (like an old vacuum cleaner cord you know), then you place it just below your bum and let it drag you up. It's archaic and tiring but a common feature at small ski areas here. The resorts have phased them out same as we have.

Jonathan said...

And by resorts I mean the more popular ski areas or larger ski areas don't have t-bars -- only small town ski hills (unlike the US every small alpine town seems to have its own ski area, some are tiny).
