Hey Jojo, Er De hvordan? Er hvordan Aril? De beste ribbein er (bare) funnet her i Calgary :^)
Most of the ridges around here only allow us to DS in the same manner (steep front - level top). Not much backside activity unless you are in/on the mountains. I wish we had something like Parker, that was as easy to get to... regards Simon Quoting Jo Grini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi Randy! > Actually I am standing at the top...
