Becky Scott!

What's your favourite type of run?

Glades/gullies/off the beaten path.


What is your favorite individual lift?

Travis parker is funny

I like a lot of runs, powder through glades has to be up there.

For my own question Mammoth is my favorite, least is probably boreal.

my favourite lift has to be the Gem Lake express for it's sheer size and acess to terrain.

Where is your favourite place you've ever visited?

What kind of toothpaste, toothbrush, shaving creme, razor, shampoo and deodorant do you use? and why?

I use Crest (the flavored ones) with a Crest Toothbrush (hate it), For shaving I use Edge Gel and use Mach 3 razors (wish they made some that are only 1/2" wide for my designs that I do frequently in my beard), as for shampoo, currently Fructis. And for deodorant, I use Gillette, since Speed Stick a few others give me a rash.

Any recommendations for changes?

What kind of toothpaste, toothbrush, shaving creme, razor, shampoo and deodorant do you use? and why? Nature's Gate natural (because it's not full of chemicals); Terradent 31 (you don't throw away the handle, just the brush head, plus it's made from recycled plastic); Kiss My Face Marine (again, no chemicals); Gillette Mach 3 (The Best a Man Can Get ®); Herbal Essences (Lizz buys it and, again, no chemicals); Old Spice original (Lizz likes it).

My question: Train, Plane, or Autombile?
I'd prefer a train, but since they don't run anywhere anymore I usually drive. flying is too hard with three children under 3.

All Naturale? Eh? What do you think about that stuff? and.. Liz actually likes Old Spice? Ewww... that is your father's deodorant. :)

For me I prefer Trains for the scenic beauty, planes for speed and driving cause I am in control. :)

There is something new... Tyler, I didn't know you had a brother, I had the feeling you were an only child. :) Is he into lifts as well? Even though he is younger?

And to answer your question: I live in a 2 bedroom rental on my parents property. It is somewhat connected to the house, but self contained. Up the street 2 houses lives my sister, her husband and four kids. My brother lives in San Diego over on Coronado Island.

I am currently single, however I have a few "interests" that I have been pursuing. I have been married once and I have one child from an "oops" that my girlfriend and I put up for adoption.

And to get to know me and how I think, you can always see whats on my mind by reading my BLOG, which is clickable from the menu above.
