Fat is good

I never thought I will say it, but here it is: I love fat. Yes, sure, those skinnies look slick and graceful, but if you ever try to ride a fatty, you would know that it’s the way to go! You’ll try fat, you’ll never regret! That’s right, I traded my skinny Rossi Hellgate for the pair of fat Atomic RT 86 and ripped the powder to shreds. Riding the fat ski turned out to be a lot more forgiving then curving on skinnies. The delicate balancing act of the East cost ice-scraper is no match for the Western fat powder machine. The Atomic is so forgiving, it almost felt like cheating. I was able to recover from a few blunders that most certainly would end up in a crash on my old Rossi. I must admit that at first I was very reluctant to change. Riding the skinny ski is the “old school” and I like to think of myself as such. However now I feel like a druid who dragged the 200 tones slab of rock from Salisbury Planes to the Stonehenge to build a temple, then Christians came, slapped the cross on the dirt hut and there you have it, church. Speaking of the churches, I have been education myself on Mormon religion. I will reflect on it in my next post. Stay cool San Diego or where ever you are. And if you are wondering about the picture… Well, I just like it… ;-)
