I am a skier. I was a ski bum.
These are the skis that are actually in the house. The others are in the shed. My daily ski is my Mantras. The last pic is the older mantra that will never get mounted. I just like them. You can see my Volkl p40sl in the corner which I still use from time to time just to show people what "carving a real turn even in bumps" is like.

I don't need any skis or anything I just need time to ski. To get to VT it takes 4 hours from CT. I only go mid week. If I get 10 or 15 days before I go away for the month I am lucky.
I can't believe you bagged 160 days last year. Although El Niño hammered you at Mammoth ? Your video was from June right. You were a pro bumper? From the era of twister, twister, split or double daffy or the "throw your hand up and float heli" ?
Remember the Bud pro mogul tour?
I just aged myself...fuck I'm old.

I don't NEED any gear or skis either...I have a problem with want and need though..
I skied at least 4 days a week, most weeks 5 days, from the start of the season to the end, so close to 160.
the video was Mammoth, Gravy chutes (baby gravy, tight one ) the helmet cam does not do the pitch any justice though.
Never a pro bumper, I did a few pro/ams though for fun, not points.
My era was all of the above... slow floating 3's was a favorite..
