Not exactly new as I joined in January, but wanted to say hello. I initially joined because I was getting back into skiing and needed advice on new skis (love my FX 95 HPs). I ended up skiing more days this year than the last 5 combined (have been busy w kids) and this site really helped get me even more excited about skiing. I do most of my days in Tahoe, but a trip or two a year to Utah too. Probably buying an IKON for next year. Anyway, thanks to the great people on this forum. Although I will say this site has made me obsessed w gear.
