full top-to bottom would constitute one 'run'? Yep! During the night, they skied "le gros vallon" (big small valley) which is 2327 meters (7500') in lenght with a vertical drop of 625 metres (2000'). That run is my favorite on the montain... A few times he did "race" with a few other participants and they took about 45 seconds to go from top to bottom ... ! ;D ! The kid had very small eyes this morning ... LoL!! sounds and looks like a great run! but you've gotta check a figure there, because if they're doing 7500 feet in 45 sec.....that's (by my possibly effed up calculations; 7500/5280 and 45/3600) 1.420 miles in 0.0125 hours is 113.6 miles per hour. they were probably losing some of that 7500' distance by either starting somewhere down-mountain or finishing somewhere up-mountain. nice scientific calculator here btw: www.globalrph.com/calc.htm i'm trying to talk up friends of ours (with their very own 4 year old also named matas, the freaks) to take a trip to vail with us the 2nd week of april. buddy of mine bought a condo that sleeps 12 and sez it's ours if we want it.... it'll be my first skiing of any sort in 4 fucking YEARS. i cannot stand it anymore!! plus we'll put both the kids in ski school.... |

It would be super kewl if Eli won a Super Bowl the year after his brother won one. It'd be the first time something like that happened, I bet.

The Patriots are quite simply the best team in NFL history. They've re-written the old "any given Sunday" adage . . . On any given Sunday, any team can lose to the New England Patriots. |

Doc ... Indeed! No way they can do that kind of speed.
He must have been speaking about the run they did during the day
which ends in mid-mountain and is a whole lot shorter than "le gros vallon".
I know he can go awfully fast but I don't think
he can go over 60 MPH even on a closed run ...

The Giants will come close, but there's just so much talent on the Pats that I don't see them losing. 10 cents says the G-Men's kicker blows it in the 4th.

(that never gets old) The line is still at 14, but you know it's going down (I might give 6 1/2 just for shizzles & gigglez). The G-Men came close in that last game against the Pats but I just see Peyton dropping a stinker. He'll be back for sure, he's talented enough. |

But unfortunately for them, they didn't.

Brady on IR? Well, I know it is not cool to celebrate an injury, but...
Karma.
