- turns all days

Rainer (close sp. to Rainier) Hertrich has skied everyday for 5 years. He's a Colorado native, where he's a groomer. He goes to Timberline for the summer, then goes to Chile for the rest of the year. He set a Guiness Book record. source: Skiing mag, Nov/'09

And he only needs HALF a binding to rip it daily

Now I feel REALLY inadequate! I need to go ski just to preserve the few shreds of self respect I have left... Oh I know he's off his nut, but I still can't help measuring my piddly a** amount of skiing up against that. Sigh. I shall now shut up and go ski. A little. sigh.

It seems to be contagious!
Not only do we have Greg Hill trying to skin/ski 2 million feet, there is a Whistler girl also trying to ski 4 million feet( alebit lift assisted) and blogging about it here.

Her posts are actually a lot of fun and she seems like a really cool person.
It's nice to see a woman participating in the madness as well as the usual male suspects.

More power to them. I have nothing but admiration for those that cast aside the normal restraints of life and work!
As she says " what's your restraining bar".

I agree - more POWDER to them!

I enjoyed this quote from the woman's blog in the link from Scotsman:

Steph believes that all women should resist the urge to live their lives as cucumbers. Submerge yourself, jump in, be a pickle. Pickles are much more complex than cucumbers. Nobody every changed the world with one toe dangling in. So go ahead, sit in the juice.

It really applies to everyone...not just women...

Buck up, Don. I'm sure you're a champion in some other arena.

"Shut up and go ski" Hell yeah!

5 years of daily skiing is impressive. He's got a bit of way to go to catch up to this guy, however:

All this talk about consecutive daily records has inspired me to try one of my own.

I'm going to try and not be an asshole for 5 consecutive days starting tomorrow.

You guys are nearly as funny as my wife. I told her my goal and she said, " so you're going into a coma for 5 days?" :

Pam's wisdom seemingly knows no bounds. I have always been impressed with her cool and easy going demeanor and her centering/grounding effects on those around her. I shutter to think of what you would be like without her. 

(This is day 2, is it not? I'm pulling for you, Scotty... it's a big goal for you but a worthy one; I think you can make it.)

No , its day one and I had a really assholish reply prepared in rebuttal of your post but I'm sticking with my goal so I discarded it... its very hard Ron. I'm going through terrible withdrawl symptoms.
Why don't you join me... we could try it together and support each other?

I had a really assholish reply prepared

Stick with it bud.

I'll take up some of the asshole slack you're leaving.

I shutter to think

Huh?

asshole slack....

nothing a few sphincter tightening laps in the Alpy BC can't fix.

Well that or some kegels.

Ewwwwww.

I think you've tainted this thread.

Why don't you join me...

Careful, there, mate. you're getting awfully close to the edge with such a veiled potentially unkind comment.
Nonetheless, you have my full support. So day one it is. I'll be here for you on day two and beyond.

Well that or some kegels.

I admit I had to look it up but I did learn a lot.

I want a Kegel exerciser soooo bad... carbon fiber of course.

Thanks man but you don't have to feel responsible for my asshole slack...... honest!

Look for one shaped like a zucchini.

Then you could also use it to fend of bears?

A courgette????  BBC lingo for zucchini?
A woman fends of a bear with a zucchini pulled from her garden.....thats some quick thinking there.
I may carry one from now one when I bike at Banner Forest for pre-season ski training.

" is that a courgette in your bike shorts or a kegel exerciser?"

Day two down (so far).
Nice work.
