An interesting realization about women and snowboarding

[Randy S.]

Clearly I have too much time on my hands since I can't snowboard with my injury. Despite the injury, we've had one of the best seasons of snow ever in Tahoe (more snow coming tomorrow). I was just having a conversation with a friend about the fact (I consider it a fact) that snowboarding a long, untracked powder run is better than sex.

As part of the conversation, I came to the realization that I've probably slept with about the same number of women as the number of ski resorts I've been to. The number is somewhere around 35-40 over the course of my life (hey, I was married for 10 years and never cheated). What's interesting is that I can name nearly every single ski resort. I probably can't name half the women. :rolleyes: :eek:

I wonder if Fin is going to squash this post. At least D-sub will get to read it, he's always on here. BTW, is D-sub some Dom-Sub thing or does it refer to something else? I just assumed you can't make up your mind if you are a top or a bottom. :confused:

[Allee]

... good cheesecake is better than sex. I can't say I've had that revelation about snowboarding.

I find it interesting that as a guy, you think that anything is better than sex ...:confused:

And yes, it will be very interesting to see D's reply!:)

[fin]

Ahhhh..Hmmmm.....Errrrr...damn, it's spring fever already! :D

My problem is it is hard for me to relate to such an analogy when my memory only goes back three years ;)

I guess you have to give me a bit of a break. I'm old. I turned 41 on Monday. Although I felt that way about sex and snowboarding since I first tried snowboarding in 1986.

Cheesecake is good, and goes well with sex (wait, are we talking the cheesecake you eat, or the cheesecake you look at in magazines?). But snowboarding is better.

With all the leghumping guys on this board, I think its remarkable that a woman responded first to this post. :cool:

[Gecko]

not that I haven't slept around just that I've snowboarded all over the world...and I'd have an easier time remembering the women than the resorts :confused:

[gdboytyler]

I'd have to say the average day of snowboarding is better than the average roll in the hay.

But if I had to choose between a perfect day of heli-boarding and a night with my fantasy girl, I'd pick the night with the fantasy girl. For either experience, I'd want to videotape the whole thing.:D

[D-Sub]

Im not gonna respond, just out of spite:)

oh wait, I just did.

I like sex AFTER a full powder day, altho...funny, but I used to say the same thing, that riding untracked freshies was better'n humpin.

for some reason these days neither feels like it used to. maybe I need prozac:)

[Allee]

I lke SLEEP after a full powder day.

I like gdbytyler's approach - it's true there are varying grades of all things. Sometimes sex is great, sometimes snowboarding is great, and sometimes cheesecake is SPECTACULAR.

And at least sex and cheesecake, and snowboarding and cheesecake mix ... one cannot say that for sex and snowboarding. Chairlifts and snow are cold and not conduicive.

[Scorpio]

Sex.

Randy, start a poll.

Been there, done that! Uh huh. Helps if its a big gondola (one of those euro ones that holds 25 people per car).

[D-Sub]

and all 25 are in on it!

I'm married to number 3.

[Phil]

"I'm married to number 3."

I am married to number 1 (and only).

Some think that's hot, some think that's not.

I am glad that I don't USUALLY have to choose.;)

[SWriverstone]

I'm sure Holly will get a kick out of this too. And---no offense to Holly--- :D ---but I'd take my very best days of kayaking, hang gliding, flyfishing, or carving over my best day of sex anytime! Oh, and add my best musical performances to the list above!

Sex (at least in my experience) just isn't the same kind of transcendental experience those other things have been for me. (At least not without a full harem of perfect 10s catering to my every wish...which I haven't experienced!)

I can vividly remember times---for example, after the final note of Mahler's 2nd Symphony, performed in Italy before an adoring crowd of thousands---when I sincerely thought, this is it---kill me now, because my life will never be any better!

Can't say I've ever experienced that with sex!

Scott (I love you Holly! :) )

[Ninjette]

if mother nature is a female.... then does that not make snow female as well?? hence the pleasing effects of powder? :D

[FTA2R]

so that is WAY (re: # of sexual partners) more info than I needed. I personally regard that as very personal info, but I guess not everyone does....

personally I think that's scary that you remember resorts instead of who you stuck your thing into..maybe I just have a really good memory when it comes to that.

not to brag or to bag on your wife but you obviously haven't had the right kind of sex with the right person:D

[ar(angel]

Baileys Irish Creme top with coffee flavored base.......:p Funny thing is I started making these when I was a chef as a special dessert for the restuarant I ran and the guy that worked with me turned it into a business! He now has 2 restaurants in town called......Cheese Cakes Unlimited! That was a whole other lifetime ago though.....At 41 years old I'm proud to say I'm still able to do both fairly well......board and make cheesecake that is....:D

Bon Apetite!

So this is the thread wherin we learn Randy is a man-whore :)

Barry: it should please you to know that I remember all the names of the girls I've had meaningless casual sex with and then never spoken to again.

Seriously though... I mean, epic snowboard is well.. epic. And the perfect day of heliboarding is up there on my list.

But c'mon, a full day with your dream date? I'm definately gonna have to go with that.

[skywalker]

You can Snowboard a whole day without a break.
You can do it with your best friend, having some beers afterwards.
You can have nearly 100 runs a day.
Snowboarding has no headache and can be done 4 weeks a month ;)
You can do it on perfect groomers or deep pow under the beautyful winter sun.
I had days in the pow or on some glacier slopes, when I was laying in the snow shouting and nearly crying from joy.
You can snowboard at the ECS, ECES, SES,... with some of the best snowboarders around. I would not like to do that in sex.

Did anybody say that sex was better???

We're not talking about love, right? I'd never think about my GF, but hardly anything beats the perfect run / wave / ...

In French, snow is "de la neige", meaning it is female, so is "mère nature".

[Derf]

I love my GF a lot, that's why I only have one snowboard with Burton bindings...:eek:

[Phil]

"You can have nearly 100 runs a day."




What?????Where??

That must be a fast lift and a short hill.

[skywalker]

6min up and down. possible. nearly. all I said ;)

[jeremiah]

Well, I have consorted with more women than resorts, but now that I'm (very happily) married, I'm starting to close the gap. Let's just say that it will take a few more seasons.
Sex *can* be transcendant, though like every other special thing, you need to remember why it's special. A quicky between doing the dishes and taking out the trash is generally nothing to write home about, but then most days on the mountain aren't remembered two weeks later either.
I think the real tough point is that masturbation is more akin to sex than (insert other activity) is to snowboarding.
I would have probably voted for sex over snowboarding, except I has a few runs on Sunday that had me literally whooping at the top of my lungs and falling down laughing at the bottom. It wasn't even a powder day, just perfectly groomed corn snow, with entire runs to myself.
Hmmm, maybe now that the season is about over I should take my wife to a romantic inn somewhere and see if I can't change my preference again.

my dream date would be all of it. not meaning the gondola folks, but to rut up the mountain with my partner and then celebrate the day with some cheesecake...

Kicking Horse comes to mind as a place to do it all with a mountaintop restaurant and rooms for a price. but a packed lunch and sex in a snowbank is more affordable

FIO I do remember all the women I've slept with. Not that hard though, you can count them on one hand and I'm not counting Rosie Palm and her sisters.

And I do remember all the different resorts I've been to. Considerably more difficult, just counted 66. had to list them on paper. I sincerely hope I didn't forget one of the darlings. perhaps with a ski atlas before me I could notch up a couple more

[kriss]

how about snowboarding on a cheesecake like snow surface with a viagara chaser(instead of the ibuoprofen!!).

Paul, are you married? Would you like to be?

[patmoore]

Married since 1969 but I had 8 years off for good behavior....

You high frequency jockies remind me of the guy who stormed into the pharmacist on a Monday and said, "You know that gross of condoms you sold me on Friday? The box only contained 143!!"

The pharmacist replied, "I'm sorry I spoiled your weekend."

[Neil Gendzwill]

Man I'm seriously behind on the resort count at only 20. And apparently my youth was not nearly as wild as it should have been.

Cheese cake is overrated. I'll take a good piece of pie anytime.

Oh, my! Many gear exchange deals have been done here, but this is something new! :)
We do not have too many girl members, but maybe it is time for dating forum as well.

Now back to the topic, sex and snowboarding are good, so is skiing, as well as sailing a regatta, and few other things come to my mind. Can I have it all? The point is to enjoy whatever you are doing at a given moment, like there's nothing else on earth. Zen...

Whipping up a cheesecake and boy is my hand tired!

My wife prefers authentic key lime pie to sex...

Guess I'll have to squeeze my limes next...

I've never broken an arm or received a concussion while having sex....

Then you haven't had great sex;)

J/K there obviously....

Hmmm, cheesecake...my metabolism is also 41 and I'm adverse to wearing dessert on my thighs....I don't miss it....

Snowboarding can be frustrating at times-I just started at age 38 but, when it's fun, it's fantastic...

Sex is never frustrating...

Wait another ten years... ;) well, viagra might help from that, but so does Ibuprofen or a beer when snowboarding is frustrating.

[skatha]

In 10 years, I'll be 51-can somebody play the theme to "The Graduate"?????



Beer, or in my case, wine is for after snowboarding. Besides, in 10 years, I hope to be riding boardercross in the senior Olympics!!!

I hope when I get older (I'm 42) I don't have to modify my handle from "wavechaser" to "viagrachaser"...:D

Alleeeeee - I can make a cheesecake too! And I'm single and I like sex better than snowboarding...an, an, an....I'm not a leghumper.
;)

[ar(angel]

but I'm taken ;) It never would have worked out anyhow, what with all the whipping and carving, carving and whipping.....of the cheesecakes that is.....:D Tell you what, I'll do as good as any man here and make you an empty promise, if we both ever make it to SES (I'm planning on going next year) I will make you a cheesecake and feed it to you bite by bite, o.k.? We'll always have Paris.....

broke a tooth once in the back of a truck on I-95 :cool: which is more damage than I have every gotten on the slopes:eek:

[Allee]

I also have plans to be at SES next year, so by all means, bring on that cheesecake! Does cheesecake go with hot tub?
:confused:
Hmmm... I shall have to get my other half on the case, I feel a classic baked New York with a twist of lemon coming on ...

[philfell]

How many people are now going to bring cheesecake to the ses????? I'm not much of a cook, but it looks like I have time to perfect a cheesecake recipte before next winter.


I've been to more resorts than women I've slept with, and it doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon.

[Aisling]

all this talk about cheesecake is makin me hungry.


i'll bring a supply of 40s and 50s era style cheesecake (see my avatar) LOL:p
