Best skiing in North America? Well, Red Mountain Resort has hands down the best tree skiing in North America, if you're a good skier. Whistler is too crowded and expensive. If you are an expert level skier (can ski atleast a triple black diamond) then you should come to red. The lifts aren't very good but the skiing is unbelievable.
My List (In No Particular Order):
Race an entire points series and place in the top 5.
Visit Ireland and Australia.
Find a woman that'll put up with me.
Become a mechanical engineer and design bikes/cars for Honda.
Start a family.
See the grand canyon and go white water rafting and mountain biking there.
Learn to kayak.
Race a GNCC and a high caliber MX/SX event.
Go riding in AZ, CO and CA.
Go snowboarding in Alaska.
Become a better photographer.
Buy a Toyota Tacoma, KTM200E/XC and Honda CRF250R (when they're available) and go around North America racing different types of races.
Live life to its fullest.

- Win a race, a motorcycle race, just one.
- Arrive at my bro in-laws house in Plano (we go there every other Thanksgiving), rush past everyone to the restroom, spend a good long time in there, come out and ask "Have ya'll got a plunger?" :uh: :moon: :yeehaw: :aj:

I just heard that my brother in-law's mother in-law is moving to TX. If that is true I won't be doing the Thanksgiving thing in Plano. You'd understand if you ever met the old sea hag. If I do get down that way I'd love a beverage.
Vail is only the best place to ski if you go with a local and know where to go like "hair bag alley." CJ I know Vail is kind of in your back yard so I guess that makes it my front yard. If anyone wants to come then we will drive up to one of the houses that I designed and ski from the house (ski in ski out). It is pretty cool then have their houses about 20 feet from the cat walk so you walk up the heated path they built, put on your ski's and go. You have to remember that Vail also has Beaver Creek and Bachelor Gulch.
One of my goals was the ISDE which I have done.
The next is the Trial De Nations which will happen in Sept.
Hopefully I will do the Scottish Six Days within the next year or two.
I did live in Europe for 3 months but now I would like to go back and tour it on a motorcycle instead of a train.
Be married to my husband until I die.
Become a motivational speaker.
Until then I guess I will keep skiing in Vail :confused:

No kidding! For the last 2-3 years Colorado has not got the snow that they need. Typically Beaver Creek has better snow because it has less people skiing it than Vail but our winters have not been good. If we don't get good snow this year next summer will be TERRIBLE.
If you want good snow then you have to go to Steamboat Springs, Colorado

It snowed one of our Vail days. It skied from the time we got on the mountain to the time we left (we were the last ones off the mountain...literally. We got to ski the fresh cordoroy on our last trip down). We never skied the same run twice. Never took the same lift twice. It was pretty awsome
Well I can now strike another one that wasn't even on the list - just got back today from five days in Fiji. Part of it was a cruise for three days around some of the western islands. Snorkeling and swimming and relaxing............. :cool: and the occasional beer............... :cool: and another beer........... :cool: etc etc
The only problems were the temperature drop (Wellington - snowing and 10 degrees celcius, Nadi - sunny and 28 degrees celcius) flying back home again and the sun burn :flame: (I have never been sunburnt though a t-shirt before :scream: )
Life is soooo tough!!!

Julius Pleaser, I have been to Spa-Francorchamps Circuit to watch F1GP in '88.
I won a prize that was sponsored by HONDA. They took me and 12 other people from Japan for 8 days of free trip in France and Belgium. And the main event was F1GP. I was so excited to watch the race. But the circuit didn't have a good design for the spectators to watch whole race, so I could only watch those F1 machines passing by so fast. Only time I could see well was when some cars broke down right in front of me.
Anyway, I enjoyed the free trip very much, and I loved Belgium so much that I went back there in '94.
I hope you can make your wish come true soon.

I used to have goals in life, wonder where they went :think:
1. Finish all of my projects that are laying around the shop (the old ASE, streetbike, and Z50)
2. Earn my "A" card
3. Race more snowscrambles (they're a blast)
4. Visit Ireland someday before I'm too old to enjoy it.
5. Graduate college and start my own business.
By the way natalie, while you're driving across the US you can stop by ohio and see why dirtrider magazine says one of the toughest races in the world is "Any southern ohio race in the rain :) "
