Apparently, I have glissaded several times in the past myself. Only not on purpose.

Nothing wrong with not on purpose, it's the unplanned sudden stop that'll get ya.
I told HPM of having an airfoil under me once.

Did I mention a trash bag at one point yesterday?? ( I was 22 and that excuses the stupidity) but it was pretty cool nonetheless... DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME LOL!

Looks like a great day. So cool you guys met up.

My youngest daughter's favorite thing she ever did on vacation was glissade with Ed. She still talks about it. What a blast we had.

Great report - but, wow, what a workout! The sliding looks like a lot of fun.

What a day you guys had!!!! It looks like quite a workout with some pretty good fun mixed in....and I'm pretty sure you were feelin' that "good pain" by the time you got home. Thanks for sharing a great report and pics (oh ya, and a really cool video too!). I liked lookin' back at that other thread too. I remember when I read it for the first time. I also remember the very first time you took me up Otis (just as far as Wham and Zowie).....I couldn't believe what an amazing adventure that was. Little did I know at that time all the other adventures you had in store for me. :)

I just realized the thread I referred to was mentioned in the shout box....not in this thread. So, here it is if anyone missed it.... (sure hope this works)

It did warm up into surface corn and then it all started softening up and there was a crust that broke. I'd think skis would be better though.

That looks like a great day! Cool pictures and video.
