Went skying in Canada, Quebec to be exact back in the late 70's. feels like 100 years ago.
First run of the year, straight into the Gondola with a few of my friends to the top of the mountain, Mt St Anne, just after the Olympic time trials, all the Olympic courses where still in action and not put back to the their everyday pleasure skier style.
Smoking joints as thick as fingers the whole way up we get to the top wasted out of our minds, we decide to sky the mogul run, this is the Olympic Time trial mogul course, we had no business on it straight. I must say things did not go very well for any of us.
I don't know how we did not break any bones, I think we were to stoned. I remember at one point I wiped out so bad, when I came to a stop the tip of my sky was stuck in the top of the mogul with me hanging upside down a 5' tall mogul.
We tried it again the next day, only drunk this time, we thought we would have better success drunk,,,,,, we didn't.
behind the hotel we stayed they had one of those old closed down sky jumps. This thing seemed to be about 100' tall and completely iced up. All it took was us to see it and it was game on, middle of the night we stole some of those fiberglass food trays from the cafeteria of the hotel and off we went. I am telling you, it felt like we were doing over 100mph going down that thing. I don't know how I am still alive.
