I am a skier, but always enjoyed watching lifts being constructed. I spend a lot of time at Alta, and basically watched Supreme and Cecret from foundations to load tests. I talked with L/E employees, and maybe one of them could have been emax, but that was a long time ago. I always hated summers because Alta would always remove all the carriers, but I knew after Labor Day the chairs were back on, and skiing was just around the corner.

I actually had the idea for this topic before anyone said anything. But when sg requested a new poll I figured it was time to put my idea into action. I thought it would be interesting to see what our members would define themselves as.

I guess I can I can define myself as multiple as well. I am a skier, moderator, SAM student, and snowmaker.
