Hi everybody, son, I know your hype four snow is coming.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I know I was coming excited that kids have been
asking me my gear is ready to go once the
snow starts falling. I cannot wait to go up to
the mountain.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Oh yeah, what's your game plan for skiing this season?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Because I feel like you didn't go that.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Much last year?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
We did on Thursdays.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Oh it's ski club.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, so they don't have ski club like anymore. But
we have been an epic passing. There's a mountain that's
forty minutes from us, so I'm still gonna take them
on Thursday nights, and then we have a weekend planned.
I think in February that we're gonna go away. So
we're just gonna go whenever we can. The girls don't
have basketball on the weekend, so yeah, so there's more
free time.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I don't know about you for them, but that's one
thing I have zero desire to do. I don't go
to the mountain to ski, to snowboard, zero zero interest. Bro.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
I used to DJ this thing out in in Maine,
regged Fest, and they would give me ski passes, right,
And I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
That's so sweet of you.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Right, I'm good.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Until I realized how much money these things really cost,
Like in the equipment you rent, the gig you get
the like it's a lot of bread that was on.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I could have sold him joints.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'm not even kidding.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Like the snow suits for skiing. You could spend thousands.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, he wanted.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's really an expensive ass hobby.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It is my jack like my jackets.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Well, he likes it so much.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I mean, yeah, my jacket's like two fifty. In my
pants are two hundred.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I remember when you were getting ready to buy that jacket.
He was like, you know how he was staring at
it in his car.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Should he do it? Should he do it?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Should he do it?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
He was, that's a big And then the ticket to
like one fifty. That's per day.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Bro, I was getting like four passes every time. I
don't know. I'm like, these things is like twenty dollars.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
You know. I see people on the lift, I'm like,
they can't well that it's a very expensive hobby.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I like the atmosphere around the Aprey.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I love Apray. I went to.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Breckinridge and I hung out in Veil, which is like
one of the most popular skiing towns, And I didn't
ski for a millisecond, but.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I wore the suit, I wore the furry hat.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I pretended like I had just gotten off the slopes
and I just got drunk and it was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I mean, listen, for us, we started doing this because
we had younger kids and then we had nothing to
do in the winter. So for us, it was a
winter activity that we could all do. Now it's evolved
in to something we all love.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
But I get it, like I gotta find myself one
of those because it ain't gonna be skiing.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It's a lot of work. And then also you live
in the South Shore, so for you to get up
to a mount that's decent, it's like a three hour ride. Yeah,
for us, it's forty minutes to get to a decent amount,
and then if we really want to get do something bigger,
it's like an hour and a half. So something that
we can do there and back in the day.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, and I would just be Bunny Hill. I'd be
Bunny Hill.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
My wife does. Like my wife like she can do better,
but she's afraid. And then my daughters and I we
go blacks like all day.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
That's crazy that they're not afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Well, they started so young, so they don't. They don't
have that adult field snowboard. They ski.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Okay, are you the only snowboard.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I'm the only one, but one of my daughters want
to switch over?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So and what's the big difference there? Obviously two to one.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, they're just it's it's it's a different discipline. I
will say that snowboarding is a little bit harder because
your feet are tied together. They're tied together, so they
kind of right they click in, but like it's like
having your camels tied.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's it. You're stuck on the board.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah, as supposed to, which I would rather the board
because I don't want my feet separated and I can't
bring them back in because.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I don't like, yes, put it when they're separated and
you tend to fall like something like when it like
they can come off like easier with like the snowboards.
They don't come off. So when you fall, you fall.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
What are what's like when you're on because you go
down those mountains with multiple people, is there are there
rules like, yeah, you have certain signs of respect.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
There are rules. So when it's busy, you can't do
long curvy lines like that, like that means go from
end to end because there's too many people around. So
you always have to kind of be like like looking
back on the turns just to make sure that nobody's around.
But when it's less busy, then you can do whatever.
So you know how there's.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Bowlers etiquette where you don't bowl at the same time
as the person next to you.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Is that there's got to be like skar etiquette there
is you like you're not supposed to go really fast
on certain hills because of depending on the person that's
on the hell they they might startle them, so you
want to keep you keep your distance like overall.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
That's what you have always say, like a ski guard,
like there's a pool guard like.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
These if you go into a tree, I mean, you'll
have the ski patrol there and they'll they'll cart you
down the mountains.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But the wide lines and it's my busy is there's
someone who's gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Blow know, you're just get all yelling people yelling, you know,
making comments. The biggest issue on the mountains is my
opinions of the teenage kids because they don't. They run
their mouths and they're wild.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Do you pod Do you listen to music while.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You I don't because I like to hear what's going
on around me. But there are a lot of people
that do.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yah. I feel like that would make it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, they play play music and all that stuff until
danger shows up and you can't hear people saying get
out the well, that's the other thing. I just want
to be able to hear the whind somebody's behind me,
like around me.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You ever get really badly hurt, like what's your worst
white belt?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Because I'm like not that, Like I'm scared when I'm
going down these hills. I'm going fast. I'm very very cautious.
Like I felt in and hit my butt like my
tailbone one time. It was painful for months. Yeah, and
the teenage kids were making fun of me from this
from the ski Yeah, go dad go, I'm like all right,
But my wife, like she she claims she tore her calf,
(05:44):
but I don't know. She was all for like a year.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Now, this is my last question. I'm acting like I'm
gonna do this so many questions. I'm not When you're done,
skiing and you go back.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Into the hut at the lodge. The lodge, are you sweaty? Yeah,
you definitely sweaty.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yes, they definitely do. I tell you, the bathrooms in
these places are the absolute grossest places in the world.
So if you're ever gonna go because people are sweaty,
people are hot, they're packed people going to the bathroom
in there. Yeah, it's like make sure you get everything
out before you go skiing. So the only thing you
have to do is pee because you do not want
to go to the bathroom in there, but you are sweaty.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
The town that I went to foreign called Vale when
I was in Colorado. It's like one of the best

was walking around the lodge and the restaurants around there, it.
