Kosmo Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Folks, we talked about it offseason but I don't see any recent post. I am just throwing out a suggestion and then let's talk. February 21st and 22nd Snowtrails in Mansfield will have their Winter Carnival, it's convenient, affordable fun......if you are looking for serious skiing...I am sorry, with 250 feet vertical you can't do much.....check it out...Ski patrols sell dollar dog, dollar fifty brats, 2 bucks Killian and Miller/Bud. The bar is not pricey either, it's more party than skiing though....post your thoughts....http://www.snowtrails.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dweezel Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm actually going there Saturday. I've got previous engagements the 21st but the 22 might work I'll already be in Columbus so Mansfield would be on the way home for me. Nothing big to throw the board on the roof and the gear in the back. Count me in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjachk08 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 sounds fun! i've been wanting to try skiing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 sounds fun! i've been wanting to try skiinghave you tried boarding before? Its been my experience that skiing results in me being mangled and in pain, but boardning, when I fall, its just a fall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 most of the ski rental places donot adjust the bindings for beginners, that's why you sometimes twist your legs and in pain....the ski should release before you twist your legs.....if you are a beginner skier and rent, tell the tech to adjust the DIN of the binding to the MINIMUM for a beginner skier for an easy release.

OsuMj Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Oh, the skiis come off, I still become mangled. I actually skied over my own thumb last time... yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Skied over your own thumb? How does one do that? I bet that felt great...I have only tried boarding once. It was when I was in canada on a GINORMOUS mountain. I didnt have much success and gave up quickly. I need to try it here on the small hills.

OsuMj Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Skied over your own thumb? How does one do that? I bet that felt great...I have only tried boarding once. It was when I was in canada on a GINORMOUS mountain. I didnt have much success and gave up quickly. I need to try it here on the small hills.It was fantastic. I was flying down a hill and realized I was in over my head and needed to fall, so I put my hand down on the ground and somehow skied over it. Then I tumbled down the hill long enough to think "I wonder when I'm gonna stop tumbling" & "hrm, i hope I don't hurt myself" then I hit my head. I pulled myself together just in time for several ski patrollers to tell me what a 'gnarly fall' i had... terribly long story short, I ended up at the bottom of the hill ~20 mins later with torn pants, a sprained thumb, a throbbing headache, and hurt pride (mostly from the 8 year old who was laughing at me)... yeah. So that's my story about how I vowed never to ski again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
