The stench of the garbage was utterly repelling.
Opposite poles attract, like poles repel.

I'm on Emax's side. We need to clean up our English around here. I understand that sometimes one is quickly writing up a post and occasionally one doesn't have the time to read it before clicking 'post now', but please try.

Back on topic. Kelly- you get the chance to administer a beating to those punks? We'd all back you up. I can't believe they put up the quote at the end of the video. Ingenious- yes. Brainless- definitely. But 'adventure' and 'uncommon'? No, just stupid

When you think about it, the Bevis and Butthead duo that slid down the ropes probably called it "repelling" too.

There's plenty of other (and safer) means to poach that area. If they wanted to poach that area, they could just duck a rope somewhere off of Mt. Ellen, get a better run and not risk their @$$3$ in the process. So while their intentions might have been just for some adventure, they could have gotten it in a much better way. :thumbdown: to them.

Also that's a pretty crappy video.

Unfortunately, I was not allowed to beat the crap out of them. Something about aggravated assault and lawsuits...I don't know. It was very thoughtful of them to include their names. Using the Sugarbush logo, as if this was some sanctioned event, was quite nice, too. I have a friend who is fond of saying, "stupid people shouldn't breed". So true. These idiots are the resulting spawn, and they're too stupid to even have a clue as to how stupid they are.

That area is open for skiing. It's better to go in from the top of North Lynx than from Mt. Ellen. There are even guided tours that can accomodate intermediate skiers. There's some great terrain out there, but the lift line isn't it. So, if they wanted to pretend they were badass backcountry snowboarders, they kind of chose a lame place to publicly live out that little fantasy.

Send the little jerks here to Jackson- they can poach and their buddies can film their removal from the gene pool. In the natural world, creatures like that would have been eaten at birth by their mothers.

Now, that really isn't even poaching, in order fo something to be poached it has to be a closed area and anybody can ski that area, just like any idiot can get off of a chair in the middle! The smart ones stay on.
