 Poster: A snowHead

rob@rar, does that fish taste nice? 
scotabroad, has a point. In the US and Canada you often get grooming variations. Greens and some blues groomed every day, some blues one day, but not the next or left for a few days - or to build bumps, some blacks done with a winch-cat - but most left - plus lots of skiable, patrolled but ungroomed bits in between. So everyone gets a little bit less macho about on/off piste.

easiski,
not meant as a joke - just simply disagreeing with the common assertion the he is the best ever |
Have you ever seen anybody on here make this "common assertion". I haven't.
I don't think I've ever seen it anywhere else either for that matter. So it can't be that common

I know, that was rather my point. Barry seems to think it is a common assertion.

True, but he didn't have as many to 20 finishes as Alain Baxter or Chemmy Alcott.
I wouldn't like to argue who was "better", because there are too many ways of measuring it.

Over a second quicker than Franz Klammer in that Val Gardena race, and also ahead of the reigning Olympic champion.
