I'm new here, so I will pick and choose some questions:
College: Weber State University; currently seeking a degree
Live with my wife of 2 1/2 years (we get married young in Utah!)
Best place I have ever visited: Canela and Florianapolis, Brazil (LDS church mission)
Resorts visited: Brighton, Snowbird, Powder Mountain, Nordic Valley, Snowbasin, Elk Meadows (my small resort favorite), The Canyons, Grand Targhee
Hope that is enough info. Any other questions...just ask.

New Question: Beach or Snow?

Dang this has gotten crazy.

-Snow
-Last Expensive Item I bought: Canon AE-1 35mm w/ 35mm, 50mm, 120mm and 2x teleconverter for $130
-Favorite Birthday Gift: Tough, maybe a snowboard but my traffic light was pretty unique
-Favorite Birthday Meal: Cheesecake for breakfast, maybe green chili burrito for dinner
-Windows/Mac: Probably windows but mac's are nice. If you dont like the 1 button mouse, just get a normal pc one :)
-Favorite resturants: Chipotle, Pho Hoa, Eegees
-Favorite Game: Life for board games, GTA:San Andreas or GT4 for ps2
-First Start skiing: Never did. Snowboarding when I was 12 I think, but maybe 13.

My question: Chipotle or Baja Fresh? (I know most can't answer but it is hotly debated where I live)

Never heard of either Chipotle or Baja Fresh
Windows, there's more stuff for it. I wish you could get computers as cool looking as Macs but with Windows
Snow. The one you don't have is always the one you want
I started skiing at age 3
Board game, Monopoly

Anyone fluent in other languages besides English? (I know some of you Europeans must be)

Portuguese and almost there in Spanish

Anybody ever lived outside the country for an extended period of time?

I speak a little spanish, it's required in school.
SNOW!!!! I just do not like the beach. There is too much sand, nothing for me to do.
I have always lived between 120th and 112th, and Federal and Pecos. I will probably stay there until college.

I'm not fluent but I speak some french and im learning Italian.
I unfortunately have not been out of the US for more than 2 weeks but I would love to live in the alps for a while.

Whats your favorite skiing snack?

Snickers. Really the only time I eat them

Banana chips are good for skiing but are better suited for longer chairlift rides. i tend to eat bars, mostly oatmeal-to-go, fruit puree bars, or my favourite are vector bars. all have about 100-200 calories and tonnes of goodness which makes them good for mid morning/afternoon snacks to keep the energy up.

What's your favouite brand of anti-persperant?

I use addidas.

I am fluent in the french language as I've been learning it since i was 4 years old. Mais rien d'autre! (Nothing else though)

I like arm and hammer. It smells good

I use Old Spice and I'm working on Spanish

I used to speak German but now I can only write it; it's much easier if you can sit there with a dictionary. Plus my pronunciation always sucked.
Favourite game is probably Labrynth. This is a game where there are two dozen cards making up a maze, and your object is to acquire as many tokens as you can as you go along. The catch: each player receives one card with a different path on it, and when it's your turn you may place that path anywhere along the edge of the board and remove the one opposite it, so that the maze is constantly changing.
Bill kidded me about this a while back, but I like Old Spice antiperspirant.
I like Clif Bars for skiing snacks, washed down with coffee. Yes, it's an odd mix.
I'd take the cruise over McDisney anyday.
When it's hot out I wish for snow, and when it's 10 below and I'm digging my car out I wish for sand.
I have lived in Enumclaw, Winlock, Packwood, Silverlake, and Bellingham WA, and now Leadville CO. The longest I've been out of the country was my honeymoon in Whistler; one week and one day of no phones or mail. Sheer bliss.
Restaurant- The White Spot for a chain, and Quincy's in Leadville for a single-location.

I guess I'll get in on this too. I'm Jimmi from Deer Valley Resort and I live in Park City. Currently I'm skiing a pair of Rossi double x's with some rotefella cobras. Favorite snack would have to be carrots or those sweet maui onion kettle style chips. Old spice...I'd take a cruise...actually kinda fascniated by those ships. I've been to australia to "meet the parents" and of course SKI! I've been telemark skiing for 11 yrs...tele skiing four seasons (won't go back alpine) and I also like to snowboard. And favourite restaurant is El Chubasco here in Park City. I'll post a pic later :)
