What are the things that make life worth living?

[Hagbard Celine]

A few of mine are:

being naked
sex
grilled food
barbecues
playing tennis
working up a sweat outside
fresh lemonade
reaping the benefits of something you've done with your bare hands
chocolate cake
surprising someone I love
watching live baseball in person
setting-off fireworks
carving jack-o-lanterns
eating watermelon down by the creek
drinking beer out on a sand bar
wine
watching summer storms from the comfort of a porch swing
freshly-pressed clothing
camping and waking up next to your girl in a tent
road trips
greasy cheeseburgers
throwing the football around in a sweater in October
deer season
tailgaiting in Athens before a UGA football game
bon fires

There's many, many more.

One of the things I want to do before I die is ride route 66 on a bike from coast to coast.

I've ridden parts of it, but route 66 doesn't go from coast to coast bud. It goes from Chicago to L.A., and parts of the original road are already gone.

I usually ski once a year. The best place I've ever been was SnowShoe Mtn in West Virginia. I can't afford to go all the way out to the Rockies...yet.

Never raced NASTAR. Don't even know what it is.

Never raced NASTAR. Don't even know what it is. Snowshoe is very nice, and I make it up there once or twice per year. You might try Sugar Mountain in North Carolina, as its much closer to Atlanta, close enough where you could ski two days in a weekend instead of just one. I have a place up there and we ski every weekend. Due to its high elevation (5300') it gets about the same weather as Snowshoe. I have a friend in Atlanta who skis with us up there often.

One warning about Sugar: Its not a huge place and the lines can get ginormous, especially Saturdays after 12:30. You can avoid lines by skiing weekdays (of course), but on weekends, get on the lifts at 8:15 (even though they officially open at 9) and you will "walk on" all lifts until 10. Eat lunch early, then after 12:30 (when pm tickets are valid) access the yellow lift at the 1/2 station, the grey lift, or find your way over to Big Red. Sundays are less crowded, as are any weekend where it has not snowed in a while.

www.NASTAR.com

It stands for National Standard Race, and is basically the lowest form of competive racing, and for all ages. It has a handicap system similar to golf that lets you know where you stand realtive to their sanctioned pro. All of the major resorts hold races on a regular schedule, you pay 5 bucks for two timed runs, and track yourself on the website.

I actually skied Sugar Mtn last year. None of my friends could afford to go all the way up to Snowshoe. It was ok. Like you said, the lines did get very long during the middle of the day. The slopes were pretty crowded too. It was fun though. Me and my girlfriend got stuck on the lifts the first evening for 45 minutes. It was cold as heck but they gave us a raincheck reimbursment.

Do yourself a favor before you die. Save your pennys and get to Telluride CO. Absolutely breathtaking and the skiing is world class.

Its a nice place for being so close, less than 2 hours for me, all good roads, plus they have the best race program in NC, and are able to make a good showing in the Southern Alpine Racing Association league. I have friends with a place at SnowShoe, but it at least 5 1/2 hours away and a lot of crappy WV roads, so they don't ski nearly as much as we do. If you're staying for a week then its worth it but not for weekend trips, especially when you go as often as I do.

Last spring was my first time skiing out west (Rockies) and I've decided to do that every year, unless I go to Europe. Most of those places are 2000 acres vs Sugar's 120 and Snowshoes's 500 so it is like comparing a Corvette to a Subaru. But if I didn't have the practice and expertise garnered from local places then I would not have been able to enjoy the Rockies to the fullest extent.
