I ski raced all through HS, and into college. It never really materialized, other than a couple descent finishes in USSA, but it was still fun. I coach and help a little with the local HS team now.... Snowboarding, carving in particular, has become my new fascination. I would take it easy on a snowboard if you've ever broken a wrist/hand/etc. I think Stazi actually has gloves with wrist guards. Those looked like a good idea.
I like to think I put the 'func' in functioning alcoholic.
